Fuckin bridges man. I always clench my but those super tight on bridges in the winter. Didnt you just buy that car too?


Nah. That car is an 07. The tire that exploded was 11 days old though. Just glad that I'm more financially stable so this accident isn't crippling.

Damn a 150 ft drop? Lucky to be alive tbh. Glad you okay. Honestly couldn't imagine living somewhere where it's icy on the roads half the year.


Two possible close calls I've had was hitting a tree going like 40. I was fine, but if I had had a passenger or hit it drives side...

And another time I was like 5 or 6 and flipped a 3 wheeler. It tumbled like 3 or 4 times and then ended up on top of me.


I specifically recall yelling, "This is how I die" as I spun out on the interstate and went off the road into the ditch. Avoided all trees and light posts somehow and the fence i crashed into stopped me from going any further.

Impressed that the first response groups were pretty fast. Had a local police unit, a sheriff, fire rescue vehicle and ambulance within about 15 minutes. They were pretty busy yesterday.

Honestly John, you should really start saving for a new car. That piece of shit will kill ya.

Glad you're okay. It wouldve sucked ass hearing my fav packers guy rip


Car salesman using this as a chance to sell a new car? No way. I've been considering purchasing a new car for a while but honestly that was my fault for not getting my new tires aligned right after getting them. Was waiting until my oil change this weekend. Car is fine.

I was looking into buying a graphics card... god damn, knew prices were going up, but like $750 MSRP GPUs are going for like $1200

I checked the price on my MSI GTX 980 TI Gaming, which is currently in my desktop ( https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127889 ). I bought it in early 2016 for $650. The price for a used one is the same if not more than what I paid lol.

Thinking I'll put my old card into the HTPC I just built and then use nothing in my desktop, since I'm probably only going to be browsing the web and using MS Word for the next few months lol :( By the time I'm done with school, the new generation of nvidia volta cards should be out, and I can just upgrade to one of them, hopefully at a more reasonable price.

/And the 16gb of RAM I bought for $90 is now $210, god damn

Took a tumble off the icy freeway and 150+ feet into the ditch. Long morning of cops, ambulances and doctors offices. No big injuries and the car was surprisingly in good shape. If I would have went off the road anywhere earlier or before where I did, I would have hit a tree or pole.

Muscle relaxers and rest for the next couple days. Glad to be alive. Appreciate each day, gents.
