    i had a blowout while taking a slight cruve and was speeding a bit, i tried to correct but by the time i gained control it was too late to dodge the median...flipped/rolled a few times and the last thing i recall of it was the airbags going off

    Man you sure are lucky, well I suppose the saying "what dosen't kill you only makes you stronger" would apply to your experiance....quite lieterally I suppose. Well at least you were able to live to tell about it, can't say the same about the vehicle...is it totalled? Or is it going to get fixed? I don't know how the fixing will go though becuase of the twist and stress on the frame..but just wondering that's all.

    ouch! Glad you're ok man. You're exactly right, cars are not toys and it usually takes something like this to make someone realize this. I've had a couple of close calls in the past and now I'm about the safest/most cautious driver I know. Once again, glad you didn't get hurt any worse.

    cars are replacable, bodys and humans aren't. I got bit really bad by a senior citizen once and have become a much better driver at anticipating what could happen next !

    Wow! After looking at your pics, and seeing the roof caved in to the top of the drivers seat, you're a lucky young man! Glad that you weren't more seriously hurt. Rest up and feel better soon!
