I bought the pole
Permalink   


As of 7:00 PM of tonight, my Camero is no more. I hydroplaned on a curve doing about 45 mph, skidded across a field, and slammed sideways into a telephone pole.

My poor car still runs, but it's not going anywhere. Let's put it this way...if anyone had been in the passenger seat, they would now be dead.

So yeah...amazingly, I didn't get hurt...apart from a few small cuts and bruises. How is that possible, you may ask? If nothing else, that alone should be enough to prove that God definately exists.

So yeah. Any prayer on the car situation (getting a new one, paying off bills, etc.) would be greatly appriciated.

Well, we gotta go pick the accident report up after noon today, and then we're going to hunt for a new car.

It's kinda funny though. None of the glass on my car, save for the passengers window, broke. My sun roof even popped out, flew through the air, and smacked the ground, but wasn't broken.

Hey, that just means more salvageable stuff for me.

Whoa....sorry man. I guess that means you, me, and Mura are all getting new cars, then.


My Buick broke down three days ago, although I never mentioned it. Stopping in the middle of the road is nothing compared to wrapping your car around a telephone pole, though. We've already bought another car. An '01 Nissan Altima.


But this isn't about my new car. This is about Snake's life endagering situation.


So yeah.....Snake's safety and Raiden's death. Undeniable proof that a merciful God exists.

well hopefully you won't hydroplane anymore, that's not fun.


i saw a saturn view hydroplane about a month and a half ago doing like 360 doughnuts off the hardin valley exit near school and watched him slide into the grass on a very, very, very, rainy day one morning


there was no wreck, but the guy must've sh** himself by the time the car came to a stop   i remember waving to him as i passed his stopped car with a devilish grin on my face


by the way jena, i like the text underneath your siggy

Nah, Mitch was referring to Metal Gear Solid. The main character that everyone likes is named 'Solid Snake' (that's where I got my screen name). Raiden is the main character in Metal Gear Solid 2, who nobody liked. Therefore, Raiden dying and giving Snake the main character title again wouldn't hurt anyones feelings.

I was pretty pleased with the way I handled the wreck. Within a minute of calling the authorities and getting my information ready, I was laughing and joking with a group of my friends who had gathered. I was incredibly calm...which struck me kinda strange, considering I had just smacked a telephone pole.

Oh well.

Moreover, I was referring to the rumor that Raiden is going to die in MGS4. (I won't shed a tear if that's true.)


It's just a rumor, though.


Anyways, I was wondering....where did this happen? If you want to say, that is.

Unless you know the area right around Heritage High School, it would be useless to tell you.

But yeah. It happened on a backroad behind Heritage.

Yeah, I was doing a bit over, but not as much as most people automatically assume. The limit was 35, I was doing 45 when I started to slow, and then the crap hit the fan.

We didn't learn anything.


I learned that tires with no tread and rain don't mix

I also learned that telephone poles are very solid.

My new car is a 1994 Honda Civic for those interested.
