Alright, so first of all I would like to say that it was a great pleasure with this car. It's reliable, it's fun, it's everything anyone could ever ask for. Just last night I got into an accident with the car. As I was entering the ramp heading up on 35e I ran over a piece of what looks to be a plastic fender / piece of tire or whatever it was and fishtailed the car and immediately got grip and spun out and destroyed a concrete barrier.
I dont know how I got out of there alive seeing as how I destroyed the barrier and broke it into pieces. It was probably a 60-70mph collision. I must say that this car is very well engineered and the Air bags was definitely what saved my ass, my knee is fine thanks to the knee airbag and the side air bags kept my head from moving around too much and protected my eyes from the shattered driver side window.
My full interior and engine bay is still full in tact but the rear passenger side is gone.
I was just glad that I was able to still walk after that horrific accident. I knew I shouldve avoided that debris on the road but I thought to myself that it would be ok so instead of dodging it like I should I ran over it like a retard and caused more damage than I anticipated. It was a stupid judgement on my side and if i could've done it again I would've just let it get under the middle and let it scrape the front bumper for all I care.
Honestly, I pity myself for letting this happen not only to my car but to myself and to my family who was not inside the vehicle at the time, thank god.
So here's from me to all of you, just be careful and make better judgements than I do. I dont know if I'll get another one of these cars, if insurance pays for my totalled loss I would probably get a house instead. My first year with you guys had been a blast and in a couple weeks I'll probably be parting out everything that I had..

Sorry to hear about your loss but the good thing is you're alive.
