Pics of my wreck

Some of you may recall I had a wreck 1 month ago. Here are the pics. I rolled her 3 times @ 70 mph. I consider myself very lucky.

Minor injury

The only injury was on my right hand. I crushed the top halves of my thumb and index finger. The bones fragments were so small that the Doc could not us pins to set it. I just let it heal without pins. The nails were ripped off too. My head and face were a little bruised.

Lucky

Yeah I'm still waiting to hit the Lotto. I am waiting for the jackpot to be over 100 Million. Anything less...it's just not worth it. (after taxes and all) I'd probrably only end up with 20 million. just kidding you all. I'd take 500 bucks if that was the payout.

I am very lucky that my friends were not with me. If anyone were in the back seat they would have been hurt worse.

Altezzas?

I didn't know that the lights looked that way under the black lenses. Was that common knowledge?

rolling

I drifted into the median and hit a guard rail. The rail acted as a ramp and launched me into a roll. If anyone is in Austin, TX the accident happened on the northbound lane of Mopac just before the Far West Blvd overpass. You can see the damaged rail.

the wreck looked viscious, i'm glad you're alright. i was in my friend's 96 cobra when he rolled it one night coming home from the bars. he gunned it out of a turn and there happened to be a little sand left on the road which caused the backend to come out. the curb was the ramp. classic situation. the only thing i remember about the accident was the horrible sound.
