ok, i just copied and pasted this from my other site... engine is fine.. prob swapping engine/tranny into my v6 camaro (98) i just dynod it and has 362 @ 5500 and 374.4 @ 4500 just the day before it died...

welll to start it off! between 9-9:20am i TOTALLED MY CAR!!!! i was going 70mph on i-10 towards BR and the ground was a little wet... well i shifted into 5th gear, and right when that happened. the rear end started slidding ALL over the interstate.... i was goin back and forth between the two lanes.. i dont remember much after this point but my friends behind me said i did 2-3 huge fish tails and then shot off into the woods........ i barely remember this, but saw the tire marks in the gras later from dig. pics. i first clipped a tree witht the front.... then i FLUNG around.... cant even explain what that felt like..... and then im guessing 50-65 mph rear end into a tree that didnt budge..... THEN after the car was still.. i look over and see my new friend courtenay sitting in the seat... OMFG i cant even BEGIN to explain how histeric i got at this point... i honestly thought she was dead.... her eyes were open.... her arms are at free stance next to her.... i called for her, she didnt even twitch... i go to get my seatbelt off.. and its stuck.. NO idea how, but i slipped from out of it and i climb over to un do her.. icouldnt get it, and i stay trying to wake her up.... i was shaking her head, but her eyes were moving WITH her head, not focusing on a point how ppl normally do when you move their heads...... at this point... it gets VERY blurry.. cant even behind to explain how i was at this point.... i heard 2-3 voices come over my shoulder, saying cory go lay down, well get her out.... i remember istting down, but i dont remember walking from the car to the clearing of grass...(the car was deep into the woods)... well... to me, 10 min later, im in the ambulance (but in reality my friends said over an hr for us to get into it.... im crying hysterically... EVERYONE thought i was balling over my car.. WTF!!!!!!!! yea i loved it but!! jesus! i just thought this friend i met 6 days before was DEAD, and they think all i cared about was my F'IN CAR! yea im extremely depressed that i lost it, but.. that didnt rly cross my mind will well after i knew we were both ok!

THEN TO TOP IT OFF!

we come home, my parents talk to hers, they ask mine if she could stay at my house bc they wanted someone to check up on her, of coarse they said fine! well..... she said she was going to sleep in the front... i said NO your not... but then gave in after a bit... i was going to sleep up there... but my broither is NUTS, only way to understand is to koow him and thats all im gonna say... well i tellher to sleep in my bed.... both on dif sides of bed, under different covers.... i call jessi just to talk to her, bc besides for courtenay.... the ONLY other ppl i thought about were Adrienne and Jessi..... adrienne is a GREAT friend, and a sister to me! and of coarse... jessi.... which brings me to the 2nd part of the WORSTE DAY EVER! well... i tried to goto sleep (daaam good meds!) well i get a txt msg that shes leaving in march instead of the end of the school year! at first i was liek o ok.. then... march is in like a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i FREAKED... i called her back... we talked a bit... then she got annoyed and hung up... i felt terrible, bc i knew why..... then 5 min later my suspitions were confirmed! she said she couldnt beleive i had a random girl sleeping in my bed.... i cant even BEGIN to explain how hurt that was..... I ALMOST DIED TODAY, AND I ALMOST KILLED THIS GIRL WITH ME... and she thinks im trying to get with her... when we met i told her i want NOTHING but friendship and not over a girl... and as time passes... she knows alot about jessi and shes part of the reason im still saine to this day! she actually listens to me... well i tried to call jessi back, didnt answer, then got a txt saying she cant talk right now... i doint know if she will read this, but..... she has NO idea how much i care for her... and she hasnt have a CLUE how much i thought about her when i though i was going to die... i wanted to call her SOOOOOO bad when they had me pinned to the ground, but they took my phone and refused to give me it back when i asked for it! i just need to rly talk to her... i MUST get a few things out.. DEF if she is moving as soon as she said.... i just hope she reads this to.... i dunno.... he telling her "i rly like you" doesnt BEGIN to equate to the amount i do... she is SPECIAL and i know this... and SHE knows this.... in the end i want her happy.. but.... after today... i have to let her know how i feel.. i came FEET from being pinned to a huge tree...and im not letting her just leave without me letting her know how i rly feel.... i dunno.... im staying to get REALLY stiff... can barely type anymore.... ihope im not in as much pain as everyone said im gonna be in.... tomorrow....

*blinks* And I thought I was doing badly with my wisdom teeth...

I hope you are doing better tomorrow mon ami, I hate to hear about your car but I am sure if you try to talk to your friend things will work out after everyone has had a night to sleep and get focused. Hope your next post is with good news...

 

Damn. Sorry to hear about all of that, bro. Glad to hear everybody made it out ok though.....and don't worry, cars can be replaced.

 

Wow. That sucks.

One tip for next time. That was one tough read, wow. Comma splices and ellipsis should be used 'very sparingly'. I wish you best of luck, though.

 

speachless..........

 

I'm assuming you really hammered it into 5th to cause that loss of control at speed. That's an expensive lesson to learn and thank God nobody was seriously hurt. Next time you have a fast car you will be a little more respectfull of the power it has.

I learned a similar lesson. I was on an onramp in my 1 year old 1995 Z28 6-speed. It was winter and the road was cold and covered in salt powder. I went up the onramp and while shifting into third I missed the gear and hit first. The rear broke loose and I did a 360 degree spin down a bank and through a fence. The car was totalled. I was lucky I was not killed. If anyone had been in the car with me they would had been impaled by a steel fence post then torpedo'd strait through the passenger door and the back seat. Every single piece of glass except for the driver's side T-top was shattered.

Be glad everyone is OK. Take a moment to reflect on your error in judgement that caused the loss of traction and learn from it. ...Just like I once did!

 

just when u think your life is screwed up.........someone comes along and shows ya your wrong!

 

sorry to hear about your loss. i got into an accident in november and it was borderline on being totaled, its getting fixed now. glad you were able to post up and there were no serious injuries.

 

... Cory, GLAD to hear that you & your new friend are ok. Cars can be replaced
but people can't be..... Remember that "this too shall pass"....
