                        Just an hour ago, I was in a big heapin of a car wreck. Were was other than, statistics say, within ten miles of my house. No broken bones, just a couple of gashes, and loads of bruises. The cars toataled, and boy was it a good car, looks like all the money I saved up for a gaming computer and "College" will go to a new car insted.
I'll try to get some pictures of the car, after some of the pain goes down. Oh by the way, if your wondering why I'm on the computer and not in bed is simple...
I spent $125 for a new video card and spent 4 hours trying to get Battlefield 2 to work, and yes, I was on my way to work. Thank goodness, I almost thought I was going to have to give up 5 hours of BF2 for work, what a relief.
"Ha Haa"
Anyways, got to go, Battlefield 2 awaits.
                                            
                        You know, I've actually got nothing to say

                        Hope you have a speedy recovery!
The worst I ever did was drive a car into a wall at ~25 mph.  Airbags crumpled hood etc... post pics if you can.

                        I know how you feel. Yesterday I was also in a car crash. An old man
rammed our truck from behind. I ended up smashing my head into the
glass behind me. Luckily everyone else, including myself got away
without any serious injuries. There were no skid marks on the road. The
old man's brakes weren't working so he hit us at about 30mph.

                        In a wierd sadistic way, I'd like to say that I was in a car crash...
...but I can only claim being hit by a car, twice (2 different occasions). Very lucky on both, first time I was reversed over and the skin on my left knee was removed. The 2nd I was hit going over a pedestrian crossing, luckily only the vans wing mirror hit the side of my face at around 50mph (in a 30 limit- damn git never got prosecuted either!) and graized me, but I was damn close!

                        I personall have never been in a car crash.  However, my grade 7
health teacher was in a n accident with his wife on a highway.  A
car from the other direction of traffic somehow jumped the barrier and
crossed right infront of their car.  The people who hit them were
killed instantly, and my teacher survived unscathed ( minor aches and
pains).  His wife was less fortunate.  Her entire right hand
turned to mush.  Every single bone was reduced to fragments.
They were knocked out, and rescued by firefighters from their burning
car.  He was back teaching in a month, and his wife has lost the
use of her right hand permanantly.
...ouch.

                        Yes she does, but it's pretty useless.  Doctors said that they
can't sort out the mess that's going on, but I think she's going to
keep it incase she has to club someone.
