    the worst accident i've been personally involved in was with my dad. we were trying to make it LA>Austin in one shot in his sonoma. i had driven the full night shift, and was getting some rest while my dad was driving. at around 6:30am he fell asleep deep in new mexico and we took out a guard rail. a lot of it. there was a cross there from someone who had eaten shit on the same gentle turn. if we had spun the other way, we would have gone down a pretty big hill and would have rolled for sure.

      that's one of my worst driving fears is getting in an accident with my parents or wife in the car. i'm fine with it just being me in it but i would never forgive myself if they were in it too.

        luckily i wasn't the one driving. he feels a lot of guilt about it - still refuses to look at pictures and it's been almost 2 years.

          ^ I don't blame him. I'm sure its a very sensitive topic. I know my family as been very hard on me about a few of the accidents I've been in. So its hard for me to trust people that I talk to about them.

            Oh my driving record is very tainted. I've had tickets.
            But.. yeah. The statistical likelihood of not having any accident in the first ten years of having your license is pretty freaking low.

            I'm past ten years. But still knocking on wood... again...

                      very true. when you start feeling them wearing off you've got about 10minutes and you'll be out.

                        so i got into my first accident 5 months after buying my e30. I was driving to class (i was late) and there was traffic on both sides of the street. the light turned yellow and i didn't want to stop and maybe miss my class- so i gunned in through the intersection. the cars in front of me were moving, but because i was coming at them straight it was hard to see how much slower they were going, and out of nowhere a girl in a brand new Benz hits her brakes. so i hit mine also. brakes locked up and i slide into her bumper. everyone was okay, but the e30 suffered.





                        she was driving a Mercedes Benz SUV. and of course her bumper was much higher than mine. so my cars face took the damage.

                        ended up paying $1,300 cash to fix her busted bumper. then me and my brother pulled my center support back and beat my fender and hood into normal-ish looking shapes. i got a new radiator, and swapped a fan and the other light over so i could drive for all my other classes that week. haha

                        yea that money could have went for something nice on my car :( i paid for driving like a douche

                        -ended up driving around like this for quite a few months

                          I fell asleep at the wheel when I was 17 in a 98 explorer. I hit a power pole at about 45-50 mph and the front end wrapped around the pole. The ditch beside the road was very deep, and the explorer tipped over and was on its side in the ditch. Then the pole fell on top (driver's side -- couldn't open the door) of the explorer. I escaped with only minor burns on my face from the airbag. Good thing I was wearing my seatbelt.

                            Worst accident I came close to was when I was 10 or so. The driver of a semi truck heading the opposite direction of us had a heart attack and passed out at the wheel. He come across the highway directly at the drivers side my dads Audi a4. My dad had the split second to go left or right, he dropped it down a gear and went right. Truck missed our rear quarter by a foot and slammed into a semi directly behind us. The cab on the truck behind us shot straight up into the air like an escape pod and landed down a hill.

                            3 people died. The two truck drivers and a third person in a car. Shrapnel went right though his windshield and busted his head open.

                            Don't think I have any pictures, but I was on tv haha.

                              this reminds me when I was little. It wasn't a car accident but it involved a truck. I was getting off the bus one day excited to get home. I was walking down the steps off my bus. One of my feet were on its way out of the bus when I heard my bus driver scream. It wasn't an authorative scream but a terrified one. While I was spinning to see what she was screaming about a small red Nissan truck came flying by on the DOOR side of the bus missing my foot by a foot. Instantly after the truck sped off my neighbor who was a cop saw everything, jumped into his cruiser, and pursued him. I believe he told my parents he was sentenced 10 years in prison for not stopping for a bus at a stop, child endangerment, speeding, reckless driving, running a stop sign, running from police, resisting arrest, and they got him on attempted man slaughter because he knew a child would be coming out of those doors but decided to go anyways. I don't know if those were all the charges but he got 10 yrs.

                                I posted these pics here a few years ago I think...






                                I spun out on the freeway from locking up the (all drum) brakes after someone decided to merge right in front of me with no signal. Got hit head-on by a Buick Rendevous while sliding backwards two lanes over. All I had was lap belts, so my upper body got thrown against the door hard enough to go through the panel and into the inner door bracing.

                                Managed to walk away with nothing but a huge bruise around my shoulder area; the lady who hit me got knocked out cold by her airbag.....when I ran up to her truck I seriously thought she was dead. I remember climbing into her truck trying to see if she was alright and there was someone talking through her stereo; it took me a minute to realize she had OnStar. ;)

                                Scary shit.....it was the first (and hopefully last) time I'd ever been in an accident. The asshole who cut me off never even stopped, even though I know he had to have seen and heard it.
