your one lucky bloke.

Random - I remember those pics of your E30 carnage, unbelievable. Glad to see you're mended and checking in. R3V hasn't changed much in your absence. There's still the good, the bad and of course, the unreal.

Welcome back :up:

[freeride53]

Jesus christ - why did they remove you as a mod though?
What were your injuries?

Let me repeat, jesus christ.

[Ray Smoodiver]

Welcome back Drew! Good to see you around man.

[CrusherCurtis]

How well are you getting around now?

[canakami]

Holy fuck...fucking trippy to see a carbon copy of your own car torn to shit like that.

Awesome survival, Welcome Back.

Welcome back!

Dude was just thinking about this. Crazy! That was so long ago. Glad to see you back.

PS nothing has changed. NOTHING.

[SpeicherBimmer]

That's a really nasty wreck. It looks like you hit the tree right at the strongest part of the body at least. Kind of impressive an E30 isn't worse after a hit like that. Welcome back!

man, it was a myriad of injuries. my whole body was banged up. But the worst injuries were ... left knee tore my acl, pcl, mcl, lcl and partial tears of the other 3 ligaments. practically tore my left leg off below the knee... but its still there after some very unique 1 of a kind surgery (the kind thats in one of those auditorium style rooms with med students watching.) My right kneecap was crushed into a million pieces, which they dug out the bits, ground them down together with some kind of cement and rebuild my kneecap. crushed my right ankle and foot/toes, broke my nose and jaw. chipped some teeth when my lower jaw punched through my bottom lip. (broke the steering wheel with my face) lots of lacerations and bruises... etc.

in the end. 3 surgeries. #1 was 16 hours, #2 was 12 hours, #3 was 2 hours to remove some bolts/screws/other hardware a few months later. my doctor was the man... literally, his name was Dr. Mann. I'd recommend him to anyone. in the end, I'm walking and in overall good shape. I hurt on a regular basis, but I'm alive

i would surely, 100% positive, be dead if i wasn't wearing my seatbelt. buckle up kids

That's crazy.
80MPH is damn fast to go into a tree and survive.
Welcome back.

We need the picture of the 4 chicks grabbing your junk outside the hospital, you in a huge gnarly leg cast/brace and crutches. :D

[Court M3]

Still remember those pics. Actually used them once in a lecture on automobile safety. Seeing your car brings back memories of what a "clean" e30 once was. Welcome back.

[Massimo]

Holy shit you hit that tree so hard the roof came off.

Lucky to be alive bro.

Welcome back.

Jesus tittyfucking Christ. I hope you had insurance to pay for all that...

You sir had God or some kind of superior power on your side man. I've seen people, including friends, die from automobile accidents that don't even begin to reach this caliber. You sir are one lucky man, best wishes and welcome back to the community.

I know it's in poor taste to ask, but this genuinely has me curious...May I ask what your medical bills were like? I can only imagine them being hundreds of thousands in the end, and can only hope you had ample insurance.
