I find it easier to relate to someone who's been through one than someone who hasn't. They all mean well though. Good luck!

yeah i remember my wreck too..still gives me nightmares. i went drivers door first into the creek and remember the wreck only last about 4 seconds altogether but i had enough time to find religion, repent, pray to god, see my entire life flash before my eyes, curse god for killing me,apologize to god, pray some more then scream two final words..OHH SHITTT!!! car hits the water and im breathless. but laughing my assoff that im alive..soo SOO ironic is that i was listening to Dragula by Rob Zombie when i hit some gravel which put me into a ditch which slung me into a 30 foot creek bed. yeah i remember..be glad you dont..if it comes back itll never leave..pray for ignorance..LOL..still here for ya bud.

I am glad that you are recovering, things could have been worse. But I think I know what happened...........

The Camaro tried to "TRANSFORM" while you were driving it and then you hit the tree before the robot phase completed.

LOL

That is terrible, do they have any cause for why they would give you this ticket? For all they know, you were avoiding an old granny crossing the parkway and you swerved to avoid her. I hope you make a full recovery man.

That makes me want to get sick. I mean wait, wait, wait, and then bam over. Dam!! Glad you kinda could walk away.

N4CR22 · 07-13-2009, 03:14 AM

Let me offer you some insight on what probably happened. You were definitely not speeding if the speed limit is 100 MPH. I've witnessed a lot of vehicles after accidents and due to the damage on your car you hit the tree real hard. If your girlfriend was following you and you where driving the speed limit why is she miles behind you? Unless she left after you. You say you lost consciousness but yet you're definetly sure you were not speeding. I believe you were not DUI because it was ruled out during your investigation because you better believe it is something the police check when there is a solo crash of this magnitude. If you were not driving out of your potential I don't see why you should have to convince your girlfriend and family to let you get another Camaro. I'm not calling you out on a lie, just giving you some insight on what might have happened. I wish you a speedy recovery because there is nothing more important than your health. I really hope you get another Camaro.

Glad your ok but I am confused... how do you remember calling your gf just a few minutes before the accident but have no idea how it happened?

LDGn63 · 07-13-2009, 08:23 AM

God Blessed you with continued life... PERIOD!
May he Bless you with a speedy and full recovery!

Im going to be honest. I thought this was a pilot episode for Dukes of Hazzard 2010. Glad everyone is alive and able to tell these stories!

I don't remember the accident due to the concussion. It's not like the accident wiped out all of my memory from that day or previous days.

Have some sensitivity and respect for your fellow members. No matter what the circumstances the accident occurred under, this member has multiple severe injuries that he will likely have to deal with and rehab for a long time to come.

If you don't believe his story, that's your perogative, but move on.

For those who may not know, it is a strange happening when a traumatic event happens. My sister was hit head on by a drunk drive traveling about 65. That was 15 years ago and she cannot remeber the accident, but can remember leaving school and the last song she heard on the radio. she spent 6 months in ICU, today she is ok. I think it is just a built in mechanism from the Good Lord to help us all with terrible events. I for one am glad you are alive and hopefully will return to the same condition you were before this. JMHO

If the brain experiences an extremely traumatic event you run the risk of developing PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). The brain is also sometimes able to block out the traumatic event to protect itself, as is the case here. This is fairly common knowledge...

That really sucks about your brand new Camaro but at least you are alive and kicking.

2010SLVRBULIT · 07-13-2009, 02:50 PM
