scary saturday
Saturday morning was one of the most scariest times of my life. I was in my first bad car accident. I was driving down Ridge Rd in Greece, NY, when the cars in front of me came to a sudden stop. I was reaching down to grab a cd that i dropped when i looked down for a split second and BAM! next thing i know I'm sitting in my car in the middle of a main road, with smoky stuff all around me. I rear ended the car in front of me, causing my airbags to go off, in which black smoky stuff, came out of it and filled my car, not only did it make it hard to see, but it also smelled horrible. I was in such shock, that i had no idea what to do at the time. My head was in a million and one places and all that ran through my head was, why me?!? I finally got myself out of the car and went outside to talk to the guy i hit. Luckily for me, the guy was very nice and we decided it was best to get off the road and over into a parking lot. We got over into the parking lot, and i called my mom, meanwhile I'm shaking uncontrollably and crying like i just got my hand chopped off. My mom immediately left my house and came out to Greece, which is about 25 min away from home. When she got there, i ran to her, just to feel something safe. I was still in shock, so i don't remember much of what went on. I remember sitting outside of the car waiting for my mom to get there, then her and my dad showed up, but that is about it. I guess we exchanged insurance numbers and everything with the guy and decided to get the cars checked out to see how much it was going to be, then to go from there. I had an immediate headache and my stomach was very weak. It was the scariest thing in my life, and i never want to drive again.

That sucks I hope to never have a car accident. But I came close to it when I dropped my I-pod on the floor of my car. Luckily i stopped in time or else I would have collided with the car in front of me. I hope all goes well for you.
I know this feeling well. Breathe, relax, take time and be careful.
I wrapped my car around a tree once, hitting it sideways just behind the driver's seat.
I had nightmares for a month.
I def know that feeling. I was in an accident with my mother the day after a snowstorm so she could get her hair done and have myself get a cut as well. WE hit a patch of ice on the road and spun out of control crossing into on coming traffic lane. Luckily no cars were coming and we hit a snow bank. Oddly enough, i didn't make one sound while we were spinning. Shock i guess!
thats why we have ipods willis....I hope this doesn't effect your defensive skills on the ice :)
Glad to hear your ok...I put my car upside down in a ditch before....not fun
