Thanks, considering how hard the impact was it's a bit of a fluke I stepped out of the car as if nothing had happened. I think that's because I didn't tense up like a board and also let go of the steering wheel just before impact then grabbed it again after.

It's like how someone who's drunk is able to walk out of a bad wreck because they flopped around like a doll when they crashed, they were relaxed from being wasted. I was in no way impaired but I was in the same relaxed state. If you've ever seen in-car footage of some race car crashes you can see the driver isn't freaking out, they're calm and trying to regain control right up to impact. That's what I was doing also.

Yes it is, especially when it's your car. It's tough now to look at pictures of all the places I went and things I did just from having this car and now it's gone because of a small f@cking oil spill on the Hwy. F@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@CK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damnit, I forgot to buy a Lottery ticket after. Lucky and then some. I don't really consider what I walked away with as "injuries", a small nick and stiff shoulder is a normal day of Trucking.-lol

It's a hard lose to bear...oh woe is me! I read an article recently on owner's attachment to their vehicle, Infiniti owners ranked the 3rd most attached to their car and I can tell you that survey is Bvllshit, I miss my car like it was the only one on the planet.-lol

Admit it Gary, deeeeeeep down inside you're going "Yes, another Twilight Blue bites the dust, ka-chinggg"!-lol It's getting rarer to find one nowadays, especially one with a vlsd like mine had. All in all it's just a car and I walked away basically without a scratch, I'm putting the insurance payout towards a down-payment on a place so that helps ease the pain of losing my car a bit.

 

So I went and got the cheque from Insurance last week for the buyout on my car, a little over $15,400 when all was said and done. Not bad for an '04.5 with 101,000 miles though I would rather still have my car. Oh well, now the house/town-house/condo hunt starts.

Very sad to see but very good to see your ok

Hope you stay in the G family

 

I love it when people feel the need to give their 2 cents when it's not even worth 1/16 of a cent.

Yes, oil slick douche. I guess you're familiar with the area and know about the 6 freeway interchange reconfigurations while the new Port Mann Bridge was built beside the old bridge.

You probably also know about the rush hour traffic that crawls through this same interchange, this is where I had the accident.

Oh, you didn't know all this. Here's an idea...S.T.F.U. GOOF!!!

 

I am sorry to see your G go.
Glad you are ok.

 

Sad to see this.
