OT, Hit by my car........or euro cages R tuff

[paul p (chi-town)]

My weekend starts with getting out of work early.

Make a few stops.

Then........



























I hate airbags!





T-boned.
Some soccer mom blew a red in the wet. 7 blocks from home.
Grrrrrrrr!

Her english was weak and there were ‘more than three’ kids in the car.
Yes........catholic w/ cellphone. *rolleyes*
I was doomed but all things considered got off light.
Eh, life in the big city.
In the Volvo, the collision had time and space to be elastic.

I’d be w/o scratch xcept for the stupid bag. Car is gone, totalled.
Came from the left & i was looking that way going "oh sh*t".
Got socked real good, that propellant throws a punch and a half.
And stinks. *phew*
Volvo’s got nice headrests tho,

Carry on..........



OK i’ll admit, i’m pissed as hell.
‘Thor’, the god of thunder is DEAD.
Notice the lowercase g.........
I am more than alive, fine in fact. Xcept for that blood.

He would have been a sight at Greatlakesdagaway........at 15psi. *sigh*
Sweden’s finest vagon, in turbo, smearing rice all over the pavement.


*mad*



Odd tho, i was talking to someone on one of my stops who mentioned how an e34 saved their life.
She of course only knows it as her 95 525.
Heathen. *rolleyes* LOL



”Hang up & Drive!”
94 BMW 530iT&A 135K, ‘Helga’ ( for sale *sigh* pimp *waittaminute* )
92 BMW 325i 135K, ‘Rolf’ ( he’s baaaaack *woohoo* Hers *grrrr* )
93 Datsun NX2000 175K ‘Carla’ ( blown clutch *mad* )
85 Toyo MR2 125K ‘Jerry’ ( dare i drive it *duh* )

Unfortunate, to say the least. Sounds like you're taking it well though, with your faith in god and all

So am I hearing that the Volvo was ready to race? If so, I'd be a bit extra pissed as well. Glad you came out of it with just the bag rash rather than a fractured vertabrae. I've never been in a accident (just knocked on wood), and have never owned an airbag equipped vehicle, so my question is..... was that a side airbag (I'm guessing no by the photos) or do side impacts trigger a frontal airbag?

I imagine she'll be charged and you'll receive something for your troubles. Good luck with sorting things out. At least is wasn't one of the bimmers

I beleive he said he smeared rice all over the road.

[Macv]

Ouch, that blows.

You don't look to happy

[etcetera]

I beleive he said he smeared rice all over the road.

He said he wanted to smear rice all over the road with his Volvo at the races. No mention of what hit him.

Sorry to hear about the accident, at least you're OK. Did you get to pull any goodies off it before it was hauled away?

[632 Regal]

That sucks man, at least your fingers werent infront of the bag when it went off or you would be sporting a few broken fingers.

[Booster]

OUCHY - glad your OK man !
..........Vinny

[Boone.Msi]

i layed on my horn with my hand before i got hit, broke all 5 bones in the palm of my hand, i just thought i had tissue damage until i had the x-rays taken

[SharkmanBMW]

Bags are very dangerous... it is crucial that you hold the wheel at 10-2 or close...
a doctor friend has told horror stories of all the cool guys driving with one hand on the top of the wheel when they crash... broken arms, hands, fingers....

Damn glad you walked away... you will hopefully not feel the common full body pain that accident victims get.... get checked by a doctor anyways... for your insurance records...
