ok so i was heading to Austin on Highway 21 from college station, listening to some pink floyd, minding my own business, and everything was perfect until this one turn came. I was going 60 in 65 limit zone(so under speed limit), it was raining, a little more like sprinkling, but there was a puddle of water which i couldn't see but it was there. So while going in turn i went right over the puddle, i couldn't even see since it was a turn, I started to hydroplane and lost complete control of the car and it hit a tree which popped the front airbags which FLIPPED the car over, then the car skidded into another tree which caused the side airbags to deploy. So basically the top, the passenger side and, the front of car was completely crushed. I was conscious the whole time expect for one second when the car flipped over I didn't pass out but my brain wasn't functioning right i guess. Although, i do remember seeing what was happening during that time. Ok so anyways, when the car came to a complete stop I was upside down and i ended up in the back seat on the passenger side. So i was thrown back from the driver seat to the passenger seat in the back. I had my seat belt still on while i was in the back seat. I was the only one in the car. Call it a miracle, i only came out with three minor scratches on my left arm. Thank god, i had no broken bones, no bruises, or anything serious. so i crawled out of the back seat window(behind driver's seat) since that was the only place which was not crushed down all the way. good thing there was no on coming traffic at the time or someone else would have seriously been heard. heres a picture of the car, landed on the on coming side of the traffic. People came out of their cars quickly to help me and they were shocked to just see me walking like nothing had happened. I have full coverage on the car so lets see what happens, thought i'd share this with you guys.

 

Really good to hear your ok. It's unreal how things can happen in such a split second. The things we take for grated each and every day.....

 

Holy god! WOW thank god your ok

 

damn dood... sorry to see that...

Glad u r ok..

what do u want to get next???

 

how in the flying terd f00k did u end up in the back seat with the seatbelt on? so basically if u had 4 occupants in the car 3 would be dead?

DAMN glad ur ok bro.

U will fell some after effects in a few days. But you'll be ok.

Take Care,

Kam

 

Dam man thank god your ok or no one was with you

 

Jesus That's wild as hell.


Glad you're ok.

 

Oh maan! Good to see you walked away from this. That puddle must have been pretty big or long. I know what it's like to total a Maxima and walk away from it. It happened to me in '02.

Big question is: What type of tires were you riding on? How was the tread life? I totalled my '02 Max on stock tires and they tended to hydro plane easy.

 

woww amazing ur okay. the same thing happend to me new yrs day of 2006 and i flipped into a ditch upside down. no scratches. i was just hanging in my belt. and i had the 5.5 gen only 2 months at the time

 

Stock tires ( the good year AS-2 or whatever they are) in good condition.

 

The stock tires that come on the 6th Gen are horrible! I couldn't wait to get rid of those. I hate to say it but that explains it. No way you shoulda lost control going 60mph even on a turn. Not to the point where you're off the road.

 

Dibs on front left mud guard!

Glad you're okay. Like Kam said, how did you ended up in the back seat with the belt on? When did this happen?

 

Wow, thank sweet Jesus you're ok. That's just nuts.

Our stock tires aren't great for water AT ALL. Unfortunatley this did you no good now. I am sorry this happened, how scary this must have been.

Your brain going on auto-pilot was probably shock kicking in. Maybe it was like being stunned?!?!

Getting another one? Did you have gap insurance?

As always, let us know how this ends.

 

i have no idea how i ended up in the back, i blanked out. this happened yesterday.

 

Glad you're okay. Good luck with the insurance company. No matter what they tell you, how much money you can get for your car IS negotiable.

 

Good to hear your doing alright, can't really speak much for how you ended up in the back seat but I've heard and read that seat belts don't hold you in the seat in roll overs, that spinning forces slides you right out of the belt, hence why race car drivers have 5 points harnesses, it's to strap them into the seat in case of a rollover, Deus has a 5 point for when he tracks his car he should know more about it.

Anyways if you get a chance snap some picks of the car when right side up, kinda wanna see what the roof looks like.

Good luck with everything

 

Glad you are OK.

What are your plans with the wheels?



j/k

 

jeeeeez.... glad you are ok as well

 

holy crap.. you went through all that and are still alive? i need to get a 6th gen.. lol.. i changed my tires too to the bf goodrich traction t/a's... they seem to be better than the damn near bald tires i had on there.. just goes to show how important tires are.. glad you're ok man

 

Amazing....

You can get a new car but you cant get a new body; you feel me? Someone in heaven is surely watching over you. Thank god your ok. Take care brother...

 

Holy ****... thank GOD you are ok...

 

good lord man.. u got somebody praying for u..

good luck with everything though and keep us informed

 

I love how people thank god, but if he were to die it wouldn't be gods fault. He would be going to "heaven". Love how there is always an explanation in gods favor.


Like I said bro, glad your ok.

 

Jeremiah 29:11, why not thank Him for the safety of another person. Why not give Him credit? May God receive the glory, that this gentleman is safe and with us today?

 

Good to hear your alright...that car looks brutal

 

[QUOTE]Jeremiah 29:11, why not thank Him for the safety of another person. Why not give Him credit? May God receive the glory, that this gentleman is safe and with us today?[/QUOTE

Where are you from? Ever since I moved down south from Philly all I hear is thank the lord for this and that. He got lucky, could have easily been killed and another statistic. Be glad for each day and don't take anything for granted. Gosh not everything has to have an explanation.

 

Its amazing how life can change in a few seconds...

I've had something similar happen to me a while back and it changed my perspective on life a bit. Anyhow... I wish you a speedy and healthy recovery even it its just minor cuts and bruises. As far as you car, stay on top of your insurance companies *** because they are always looking to cut cost in their favor.

 

[QUOTE=SickSE]As controversial as this topic may get, I agree with both you and Swee.

 

“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso put***h his trust in the Lord shall be safe. (Proverbs 29:25)”

Either god saved or a nissan engineer did? Thank someone your not a quadrapelegic.

Car took the lumps like a champ.

Kamski

 

Your very luck man.

 

Subscribing...

 

Man, glad to hear you're o.k. That is a total mess to say the least!!

This must be just the photo but am I seeing a total failure of the A pillars ? (Sorry I have a 4th gen) Looks like the rest of the car especially the front, did what it was supposed to and just crumbled..

 

all i can think of.....

U have unfinished business!!

p.s... hug everyone u know ....

 

Count your blessings...i think that;s what they say.
Thank goodness you are ok.

 

WOOOW ! That is just a miracle. Glad your'e ok man. This car is really SAFE, but btw what kind of tires did you have on there so I dont get the same. I finally can get rid of the RSA's, cuz theyre wearing out.

 

Wow good thing your ok! After reading this im going to be more careful when driving in the rain.

 

SickSE,

I'm originally from SoCal. I moved to the SouthEast 10 years ago.

I have an unrelenting faith. I do believe in God.
I agree that not everything will have an immediate explanation. The outcome may not be understood for years, if even then. It isn't my goal to explain away everything, but it is to give credit where credit is due. I truely believe that he was incredibly blessed to have walked from this wreck.

By the way, and you may already know this, the SouthEast is the BibleBelt of the US.

 

If you aren't religious, it might be time to find religion. This may have been a sign.

Regardless, I've seen people carted off in bags for much less. You're 1 lucky dude!

 

Yea, must be a sign, explanation, "supposed to happen". I know, I hear it everyday in NC. Believing this is all nice and comforting but wait until something tragic happens. My gf is highly religious and last year she had been praying for her mom to recover from cancer. Gee gosh the cancer went away and all the "miracle" was attributed to god. Isn't that wonderful. A month later the cancer came back and she died within 2 weeks. I don't really hear about how everything happens for a reason from her anymore.

 

holy moly

glad you're okay though.
