88 GXL, rear ended by a Semi-truck while stopped in traffic. I still have the car and I'll get some pics up for you guys to gawk at soon.

Rolled my first RX7, '86 base into a swamp at 85+. Ended up upside down between two large rocks which smashed the windshield. The car ended up half full of nasty swamp water.
I was cruising down a hilly backroad at about 100, and about a half mile before the road ends I started slowing down. I crested the last hill and had to hit the brakes hard because of a car coming at me smack in the center of the road. I had to swerve into the shoulder (not much of a shoulder) to avoid hitting it, but it kicked the rear wheels out so I ended up getting thrown back toward the other car. I hit the backend of that car, and it sent me sideways into the ditch which was full of small trees. Started rolling and, man that sucked. Needless to say, the car was fucked.
My g/f and I were wearing seatbelts.
SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES! Wear them!

Yea, I totalled my first Rex. It was a 89 gtu. I blew out a tire which caused me to go off the road into a field. The field was angled so I ended up rolling 5 times and in the process got thrown out of the car during one of the rolls. Don't know if it was the driver's side window or the sunroof I flew out of. Broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder, and bruised spleen are a little reminder to me

Doh Wreckless driving is a bad idea
seatbelts are a good idea....
Taking Girlfriend on a joyride is bad idea
Burning up tires and flooring it constantly at an autocross is a good idea

I totaled one. Went off the road trying to avoid an on-coming car(in the middle of the road) around a sweeping turn. Spun around, hit a tree backwards at 60+ mph, spun some more, then rolled over. I was going about 70-75 around the turn. I dont have any pictures online, but the car was messed up pretty bad.
Seat belts save lives!!!!!!!!!!! I walked away from that wreck with out a scratch, thanks to my seatbelt, and the extremely strong b-pillar in an FC.
