Goodbye, Everybody...

Well, everybody...
I had a really bad car accident that concluded with the death of my now missed and forever loved 1992 ES300.

I was going pretty fast and had to swirve so I wouldn't hit a guy passing a stop sign and turning on to the road. I pulled right and scuffed his back bumper but after hitting the speed bump, turning, and braking, I was already flying into the garden thing that's between the park and a row of houses. I ended up losing control and taking out a 15ft. palm tree. The palm tree went down but not before totaling my car.

It was inevitable that I was going to hit a tree because at that point I was in a mini forest. My air bag came out, nose was bleeding, scraped up my arm, front teeth got a little loosened...big huge horrible mess. So to skip a lot of crap, my car got towed away...and it might be remotely repairable if it wasn't 10 years old.

I'm gonna miss my Lex soo much...
and now since I'm going away to college, it looks like I'm gonna get stuck in a Ford lease cuz that's what Dad sells...
beggers can't be choosers but I'm sure gonna miss my ES300.

So, I just wanted to say goodbye and thank everyone and anyone that helped me with my questions. Hopefully I'll be back on here again one day...

Drive safe, everybody.

The end of an era...

ps:

About a third of motor vehicle deaths involve vehicles leaving the roadway and hitting fixed objects such as trees or utility poles alongside the road.

Trees are the most common objects struck in a crash.

Twenty-nine percent of deaths in roadside hazard crashes in 1999 involved a vehicle striking a tree.

What were you thinking you inconsiderate bastard! Because of your selfish, wreckless driving, a family of Palm trees in Father less! It's ppl like you that GreenPeace exists! I'm playin'

Glad you're okay. Feel free to stick around. Hell, if we let Bensa (drives a Nismo ) and Shaun (learning how to drive a Shitvic : ) you're more than welcome to just talk cars in general.
