hey, you want to talk irony? well three short days after my last entry, while driving home from field hockey practice, i flipped my car completely on a dirt road because i hit a curve going a bit too fast. i totalled my car as a result; so i lost my brand new car.
well just as i was getting over my phobia of curves and tilting, the incredible happened. i was in yet another accident, three nights ago. and so i ruined another car, however i can say this time it was not my fault.
in my first accident i was stupid. i hit a left descending corner going a bit too fast, and the car i was driving had front wheel drive, so when i cut my wheels too much to the left my back end fish-tailed out. i then cut my wheels too much to the right to compensate and because my momentum was going too much foward my car flipped over. it actually did a complete Dukes of Hazards style flip. the only humourous bit of the whole thing was that i managed to flip a tiny little Toyota Carolla, a car with possibly the lowest center of gravity ever. so to say none the less, most people are pretty amazed. it's also kind of funny because for many months while i was driving my mom's Jeep Grand Cherokee, i never once tilted it at all (i just hydroplaned it once).
so now my household was down to two cars. however, now it's down to one, which is my dad's shit-mobile. though it's funny of all the cars i should've wrecked it should have been my dad's old crap Jeep, which is like a decade old, compared to my mom's car.
so, oh ya, my mom's car. so what happen was i hit this dual intersection. so there's one light and then there's another light. and what happen was the first light was green but i saw the second one was red, so i slowed down so i could hit it when it turned green, or potentially stop if it stayed red. well it turned green before i had to stop so i started to accelerate, when all of a sudden this fuckhead who had been in the turn lane and at a dead stop, tried to speed out and turn like he had a Miata, instead of some huge, heavy ass Chevrolet/Blazer clunker. so having no where to turn (i turn left i hit oncoming traffic; i turn right i still hit the dude except on my side of the car. so i tried to brake hard and turn it slightly left so as not to hit the asshole head on. we still collided pretty heavy though, and i was tossed about like crazy. i bange my knees on the goddamn dashboard, and my hips on the friggin' steering wheel, i can't remeber if i hit my head or not. i just remeber this big fucking car trying to turn in front of me and then hitting it and bouncing back. and i remember being really really really pissed off.
so i've been to the hospital twice now, and been in two accidents within three months. it kind of sucks. i'm never getting a car again at this rate.
so yeah guys...i got them...status quo is met...
so that's life right now, have a nice holiday or some such
:P
