The poor truck looks basically disentrigrated from the front bumper to windshield. The ladies little sedan had parts flown over half a mile outwards.

Wow, so glad to hear your uncle is fine. I cant imagine seeing headlights coming right at me while doing 80 on the expressway!

Yea. I'm thinking what i could try with the Z and most things are turning out pretty bad so far.

Nope. And I am no professional driver either. My best idea so far would be to jerk the wheel and aim for the side of the front bumper or use the passenger side of my bumper. Either a good ricochet or pit maneuver that I could try to handle afterwards.

Anyway you look at it, at those speeds in the Z, you'd be pretty ****** if any contact.

Yea. Head-ons scare me with that car. i know I could navigate or at least minimize someone from the sides, rear, etc. The car can handle itself and get out of the way. But a head-on is just asking for death.

60 mph crash, start @ 1:00 ish.

Holy shittt Leon. Good to hear ur uncle is ok!!

Accidents are scarey stuff.

EW's accidents are pretty smelly.. Not dat I would know.

my rep looks like a boeing

That's basically what her car looked like Madwi. It's funny that "just" the front end of his truck was mangled. A coworker sent me a photo of her driving by the accident. I could only make out the rear tires and her trunk from the mess. Looked like an old Cutlass.

You'd really think AK would be around just slightly more.

given dat he did check my profile page a few days ago, i think he's watching to see if the kenchan signs in or not before merging this handle.

the problem is the password reset email gets blocked by the internet email service provider for some reason, even though the domain is listed in my contacts. so i cant receive the password reset emails.

so i made another address on another domain and was able to get this handle going.
