I broke my neck!

Sooooo......yeah.....

Heading home last Tuesday, bout 3 am, thunderstorms, raining so hard its rebounding off the blacktop, one of "god's creatures" decides to jump in front of me at around 55-60. Evasive maneuvers. Quick right turn leads to slide, corrected(over), but the correction makes me turn around 180 to the left near instantly, no hope of saving it. Down the ditch I go....right into the telephone pole..

looks ok....

Maybe not so ok



All in all, the car was insured, I still owe on it, so I should come out even.
As for me, I broke my C2 vertebrae(like christopher reeves, minus the paralysis, lots of "lucky to be alive's" being passed out) have to wear this god awful halo brace for a couple months, and don't know if I can get another M3.
But here's hoping!

EDIT: Found the auction listing, it seems to still run! Maybe its an e30 swap now:
