...my car NOT SO MUCH.
I don't know how many threads I have read over the years that start out this way.
I was in an accident this morning coming home from Captree. I was driving at the speed of traffic, maybe 50-55. I was in a turn following two of our Viper brethren, when my car started to slide into a Jeep that was next to me. I'm not sure if it was the wet pavement, loose asphalt or what but my car was determined to hit that jeep.
I tried to steer out of the slide but I overcompensated and after I hit the Jeep my car started to spin, did I mention that I was on a bridge? I spun out of control into the guard rail and then back around again (I think) back into the other guardrail.
The girl in the Jeep was fine, I checked on her first. I called the boys in blue then I had a chance to see the results of the accident.
I need to thank Viperjon and Gene first who came back around to check up on me. They did not leave until the State Trooper screamed at them to leave. They made sure I was ok and helped me out a lot. I knew they were good guys but the true test of men is when the chips are down.
MANY people who were leaving Captree stopped to make sure that I was ok, on both sides of the road. Again, the Captree folks are a good bunch who wanted to make sure I was ok.
Lastly I need to thank a Corvette owner!!
Whom I know from Captree. He owns the body shop (morgue) that my car was towed to and helped out with the tow truck driver and all of the arrangements.
My car? Most likely totalled.
She's in bad shape with damage to pretty much every part of her body. Thankfully I was able to walk away from my car and know it could have been worse. (Thank God I was driving relatively slow)
Now, I wait to hear the results from the insurance adjuster and the body shop.
