:crying: It all started last night while i was traveling on I-12 (louisiana). I was cruisin @ about 80 MPH when i heard some debris hit my car. I was like "whats that" to my g/f and then i heard a thump in my front left tire. I puled to the side of the interstate only to find out that i had a flat tire. i was pissed. i attempted to get the spare tire out of the trunk, but things only seem to have gotten worse. i couldn't unscrew the f'n bolt in order to get the tire out of the wheel well. i called my brother (who i got the car from) to ask him how to get the tire out. he told me to call my uncle. he didnt know how either, so i ended up riding 2 miles on my 6 month old 17" rims all the way to the nearest exit. right off of the exit was a wal-mart so i stopped there, jacked up the car, and attempted to take the tire off. i then realized that i couldnt get the tire off because i didnt have the key to the lugs. by this time i was extremly angry. i went in wal-mart, bought a tire plug kit, and the drove to the nearest gas station for an air pump. when i got there, the air pump was broke, so i ended up driving all the way down the street to another gas station. i sucessfully plugged the tire and then went to wendys. after about 30 min., i left wendys and realized that i didnt have any gas, so i went back to the gas station. leaving, i then stopped in the driveway of the station, looked both ways, and attempted to cross the street. and thats when it happed. a '92 firebird was doing about 45 MPH towards me and i was in the middle of the road. i didnt see her coming because a bush was blocking my view. it was too late to back up or go foward. my g/f screamed and i just braced for impact. the car smashed into the driver side of my 2 dr, causing my window to shatter, the door to cave in, and the roof and dash to buckle. my head hit the side of the car. it felt as if i was playing football and had taken a direct shot to my helmet. due to my hair (i had it braided), it didn't hurt much. when it was all over, I attempted to get out but the door was jammed. i then waited for the ambulance to come and take us to the hospital.

I didn't have any injuries, and i was released the same night after some chest x-rays (my ribs and chest are still sore). my g/f was okay also. the only thing she had were pains from the seat belt and a busted lip. but the car was a whole different story. it was completely totaled. looks as if its goin to the junkyard. im gonna miss it, but @ least i came out of this ordeal(sp?) alive. thats all that really matter's.

...and I thought my alternator crapping out on me, leaving me stranded on the side of the highway for a little 2 hours on my 20th birthday was bad...it's good that you and your gf are ok. You can always replace a car, man. Perhap now's a good time to upgrade to an LX-i if not SE-i.

i dont think i will be getting another 3g soon. what i really need is a truck, and since i dont have a car n e more, i guess this would be a good time for me to get one. im not payin 4 the vehicle that im gonna b gettin n e way so i dont have much of a choice. maybe when i get out of college, ill see if my i can get my brother's 4g. i will still miss my 3g though.
