My car is totaled.

I have to get this off my chest.

I feel like the biggest idiot right now and haven't had much sleep since last night.

Last night, I went out with the Queens crew (YoIt'sOk, Toylet and RBa) along with a33 out headed out to Long Island. I decided to go home around 1:30 and Rba decided to ride with me. YoIt'sOk decided to stay a little longer with a33 and Toylet riding along.

At this point, it started drizzling. I was going kind of fast and we were on a long stretch of road. I saw the light turn yellow and thought that I would shoot through. But the yellow turned to red really quickly and I then decided to stop.

At this point, I did everything wrong. That combined with my semi-worn brakes spelled disaster. I stomped on the brakes and my car was not slowly down quickly enough so for some stupid dumba$$ reason, I pulled on the e-brake also. I didn't feel the ABS kick in and my car started fishtailing.

I thought I was regaining control but then my car fishtailled the other direction and I slide into a telephone or utility pole. I'm not sure because both airbags deployed and my car was then f**ked.

I was fine except for my face burning a little from the airbag and my knee banging against something. And when I got out of the car, I broke down and when I sat down, I cut my hand a little.

Rba is now still in the hospital. After we hit the pole, I could move and Rba was complaining about his back. The doctors did an X-ray and say that it is probably nothing more than pulled muscles. He still has the full range of motions but had muscle spasms.

Everyone came to the hospital and I stayed with RBa until he fell asleep and then came home. I am probably going to go back to see him soon.

From what I remember immediately after the accident, through shell shocked vision, my car is completely f**ked. I just repaired the front end bumper support last week from a minor fender bender from two years ago. But from what YoItsOk told me, everything up to engine is gone. Radiator busted, tranny f**ked, engine cracked.

But all that is nothing compared to how sorry and worried I am about RBa. If he hadn't decided to get into my car, then he would be fine right now.

I would just like to ask for everyone's prayer's right now for RBa... that he has no major problems.

Man, dude, sorry to hear about that. You can always get another car but thankfully you are ok and hopefully so will Rba. When I was reading that I though you were going to say that you ran the light and another car hit you. I assume you guys were wearing seat belts? Let us know if you guys need anything.

Re: My car is totaled.

I am truly sorry to hear about that, the main thing is that everyone is OK with no severe injuries, we hope and pray RBa pulls through. The car is replaceable, in life the only thing that has no solution is death and I am glad that you are still here to tell us about this unfortunate accident. Feel better.

Wow hopefully RBa is ok. Don't worry about the car insurance will take care of that. Thanks for sharing the story, sometimes we should all be more careful. Everything should work out in the end. Good luck.

glad to see that you and RBa are ok, this could have been a lot worse, hitting a telephone pole at high speeds spells disaster, but you are ok and thats all that counts.

Sorry to hear that Clee. Hope everything is ok with RBA. Your car might be totaled, but first thing first, RBA is more important right now.

At least, there's a tomorrow for everyone!

Glad you people made it ok! Give us an update on RBa when you get the time, just for confirmation though all of us are probably thinking both of you are ok.

Sorry to hear about your Max, if I recall correctly you had a one-of-a-kind RWD Max - or was I smoking crack when I heard that?

Im sorry to hear about you wrecking your car & i hope RBa is fine.

I know how you feel to see a friend get injured. The samething happened to me not too long ago w/ Maximarider.

Best of luck to RBa's condition. You can always replace cars but can never replace people.
