you should marry that girl. and i think a lot of questions are, did the lady(assuming shes female) stop and check you out or did she just take off.

OK, I'm a frickin dinosaur to you guys. Me and my friends did that in 1974 in a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda. We pissed all over ourselves! Puked a lot, too. (we were a bit drunk and didn't do it on purpose). Think twice, but if you do it, be real careful.Good luck!

Just for the record the lane straddler did NOT stop. But since this happened right next to a tourist hot spot called the Soda Dam, a bunch of other people did stop including a few of my friends who were on the cruise as well.

Oh and the Sheriff Deputy was SMOKIN HOT!!! lol. She asked me if I was ok and I gave her a grin and said "I am more than ok now!"

Insurance is cooperating (GEICO), they already are towing it to their inspection facility and more than likely will total it. Only a $500 deductible so I am pretty happy.
I am anxious to see what they give me cuz I owe 10k on it.

Damn it man... thats some crazy shit right there. Glad that youre alright. I think the little dip on the side of the road may have helped yeah come out ok. Sucks that the guy got away with it, do you remember what he was driving? Good chances he'll be back on that road zipping through, maybe stalk him down and beat his ass.

damn that looks harsh. All i could think while it was flipping was..oh so this is what it feels like to roll your car lol.

I am still waiting on the adjuster to see if they are going to total it or not. I should be getting a call tomorrow. Been looking around at some cars, but don't know what to get.

Been looking at some local gsr's and swapped hatches. But I want luxury again too..ohhh decision decisions

Exclamation To all other members of the "I flipped my car club"

This really only applies to those of us who flipped the car and ended up with in in the upside down position. Did anyone remember to turn the car off?

My accident was pretty bad as I was driving into the triple digit range and I didn't have a seatbelt on. Anyway, the car's upside down and my first thought is, "I've seen CHiPs before, cars flip over, then they explode, I'm getting the hell outta here." So we did and went to the police station to report an accident.

Long story short, the only potentially salvageable part of my 1973 Pontiac LeMans was the motor which I killed after the wreck by leaving the motor running upside down. What I found out later was that automobile engines don't lubricate properly when upside down so it probably seized before I got to the police station.
