    e30 is gone!

    Ok so wednesday night i went to my buddies house with my brother(535is) to see his new car(635csi), so we went out on a cruise, we lost my brother at a stop light so he pulled over and waited, we found him and i flashed my high beams at him to make sure he knew it was me, i thought i was going slower than i was so i down shifted to 2nd not really thinking and was already started into the turn, its one of those turns that the road dips out so i throws you off the road, so i lost traction and started sliding sideways so i gased it thinking my front might grab(iX power) but instead it made it worse so i counter steered and fliped around the other way, then hit a telephone pole, did a 360, off an 8 foot drop off in to a creek lined with rock and concrete, while taking out a few trees in the process. I really shouldn't be alive right now it was God first and foremost and the steel uni-body of the e30 that saved my life. I would feel worse about this whole thing but i was only going like 10 over the speed limit, and i dont remember it well.

    Yea I'm pretty beat up, a little internal bleeding(very minor), but they say it will heal up, my shoulder, neck, chest are pretty beat up and swollen, my head has a good sized gash and bump, and a broken finger and hand. Then crawled out the window...ouch. My baby is gone, but im alive.

    The car is not jacked up it is sitting flat on the ground its just really fucked up.

      Hah, you're just a few days younger than me.

      Sucks about the IX. It was clean looking.

        I'm really sorry to hear the iX is gone. But I'm very happy to hear that you're going to be okay. It'll take the weekend until you're feeling better, trust me.

          I got 3 tickets, they were all BS, i think they just didn't believe me we were not racing. I dont race in my own neighborhood.

          Tickets:
          Left of Center - you cant control where you go when your sideways
          Failure to Slow in turn - I slowed, just too fast
          Hitting a Duke Power pole - I cant believe this one

          But ima just pay them, all together they were $180(cheapo)

                          Wow, that sucks man. At least it looks like your passenger-side rear window survived.

                            fight those tickets you really shouldnt be ticketed for something that was a complete accident and no one else was involved in.
