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!

wow.. thank god you are OK.

that is totally crazy.

cars are replaceable.

seeing as this is a car forum.. you parting it out?

[RacerJames666]

Wish it were so. Insurance is hauling it away, but if there is any hope to salvage it from them ill post details

[BadGTho]

what are your plans for a replacement?

what are your plans for mailing me your CAI?

[RacerJames666]

Replacement will be whatever I can afford, beater ford truck, clean e30 for cheap(must be lsd) etc... Someday ill be back tho. And god-damit if I would've known you wanted it! Your telekinesis needs some work

I broke c1 and c2 in Viet Nam in 1970 working for the Navy. The rest of my crew is on the wall so I am the lucky one. They took a piece of bone from my hip and fused them together. The helicopter was worth more than your bimmer. Avoid giving oral sex for a few years, but not receiving it. On the positive side you will be able to amaze your friend by predicting rain.
