I'm gonna start calling you Bizzaro me

Congrats, few people ive talked to can even hope to challenge that one. The spokes on the stock rims just shattered on me and the hub bit into the pavement.  I found the outer part of the rim with the tire still attached to it about 100 yds away in a tree. Luckily no legal rammifications.  I cant afford another massive driving charge.

The rear drivers side tire popped (I guess poor sidewall construction) inwards on a turn and sent me into a 4ft deep trench where I spun like a top.  The front end was pancaked the passengers side roof collapsed about a half a foot and the springs shot off somewhere (still not found). It looks like you're inside a blender huh? I was still turning the wheel and pressing the gas in a futile attempt to regain control...Until I saw the ground when the car went vertical...

The weird thing about it; it wasn't recklessness. I was just late to the company dinner... Many times I'd gone 100+ down that road and that day I crash at 85....

and gotta love tryin to explain to cops huh that you were actually being resonsible.. well mine was recklessness unfortunately.  the body looked like a crumpled beer can. engine was about a ft back, rear end was a pancake. luckily the cage held up and the pass section was almost completely unfased by the cartwheeling. As for the blender, i was knocked out cold after the 1st flip (head hit the cage, as evidenced by the blood sitting in a weld)

Mine something told me not to close my eyes... I guess my dementia showing a bit at that moment; not wanting to miss a thing. A state trooper came 10 minutes later as people passed by and saw a huge dirt plume while me outside my car talking on the phone calling for a ride. Yeah only a bruise on my neck when the seatbelt stopped my head from kissing the windshield. Looked like I failed at swallowing a whole potato.

Nice. Bruises, light concussion, 3 stitches, and a broken collarbone. I woulda been charged for reckless endangerment, but luckily because it was a "major manufacter part that caused the failure which lead to the accident" i got off with only driver education lol. which is good cuz my lisc woulda been pulled for 2 yrs with another reckless charge.

Damn!... The state trooper cut me some slack because his son died in a related accident when his Firebird flipped also showing me a picture of him in a family photo. He was more interested if I really did come out of the car unscathed. He told me, "I've been doing this for 24 years and nobody has come out of one of those." Pointing at the wreck, "Usually one of their bones are broken or they're unconscious or worse....."

Better watch your rearview guywiththeface, Im comin up quick lol.  As for how much i post, what can i say other than i have the attention span of a goldfish, and id much rather be on an auto forum than cruisin myspace and youtube like a 16yo hs kid.

Ive finally found a pic of the car, and trakes, youll be glad to know it was the orange and black two tone, im gettin it painted this weekend.  Have to say ive never flipped while offroading, but i have sunk an 89 fullsize bronco in a lake, and shot a hole thru an F250 by accident while going down a trail to go hunting. I hate staties. Hidin in the bushes with a radar gun. I wish i lived in a country where cop cars were factory tuned.
