Ok, so i haven't been on in awhile. Well, for good reason. I've been in the hospital for about 2 weeks, and laying around the house when i came home. [What Happened?]
Well, on the 24th of February I was pulling out of a parking lot onto the main hwy that goes thru my town. I looked to my left and seen a car running off the road, gettin airborne after it hit the curb, i tried to put the car in reverse...didn't have time, T-boned on the driver side by a car that was traveling at 55-60MPH. Luckily i'm alive. I suffered 4 fractures of my pelvis, what they call a butterfly fracture, and a Torn Urethra. (yeah thats the tube running from your bladder that enables you to do your buisness)
With that said, Im in good spirits, just happy to be alive. Camry was destroyed, i didnt even have a seat left (it was folded in half)

Wow! glad your okay man I can see the blood stain on the car seat...the hospital is one place you dont wanna spend all that time in....but be glad your still young and you recover alot faster then most older people. For this the "CAR GOD" shall grant you a new car
wow, thats a Nasty accident, its nice to know you'r recovering. the accident looks as bad as my friend's WRX accident where he got Rear Ended and theres nothing remaining on the car, the trunk was in the front of the car, but he's recoveing as well.
thanks for all the suggestions for my car... it was more just i was bored at night and had thoughts in my head and laid them out.... the V6 does have some potential and sounds pretty damn good with the right exhaust... i was just asking questions because I keep my car for looks and just riding out with the boys...when it comes to the need for speed i just hope on the bike and hit the I95... by the way... nice pic of that gen3 blue camry...as far as pics... i dont have a digital but i will get some pics in the near future... i dont really do the whole computer thing with school, work, and the whole girlfriend lockdown...peace out...
thats terrible man, you had one of the cleanest camrys on tn. Im very glad youre alive man, credit another saved life to the camry. my hands are shaking looking at those pics.
let me know if theres anything i can do to help you out dude.
If you look in the picture, behind your camry is a green camry with the same type of accident on the passanger side, that looks even worse than your car. Well good luck with your recovery, and Thank God you were in a Camry. I don't think you would still be talking with us today, if you were in a GM, Ford, or Chrysler product.
