Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope everyone is ok. There are times we forget how fragile we all are. It only takes one time to make you realize it.

Hey Elliott...glad to know you and your friends ok. Its funny...I dont know any other CL members outside of the Nor Cal family really (and 1 or 2 in Hawaii, and So Cal), and after I met you when you bought my coilovers on your trip out here earlier this year, I always read your posts and think back of that time I met you and thought you were a cool kid. So meeting you personally, Im glad to know that you and those with you walked away from it

Wow E.. I am so glad you and your friends are ok. The car is secondary.. You Just take your time to gather your bearings. Cars come and go, but not you.

Damn kid that sucks. Keep your head up. there are more important things than cars. Health is one of them. Be glad you're ok. you can always get another car. How bad is it? Did you take pics for insurance?

I'm glad to hear you guys are ok. It always takes something to make somebody a believer, those of us that DO believe, we've all got our stories as to what made us believers. But once again glad to hear you and your friends are ok, cars come and go... you'll have plenty in your lifetime. Keep your head up son!

I just added the pics from the tow truck place...i'll get some of the scene too.

The officers said that's the worst part of the road because it's cambered the wrong way for both sides of traffic. so instead of being banked, it's like negative bank.

Traffic design issue here with the city.. Consult an attorney in your town.

HOLY COW ELLIOTT!!! You are VERY VERY VERY lucky to be alive!!! Where did you find a place to hide in there?

I'm pretty sure the car is totaled. Do you think there would have been a different outcome if you had wider wheels in the back? Was it raining up there at the time? I noticed the windshield wipers were up but of course that could have been due to the accident.

That car did an EXCELLENT job in protecting you and your friends man.

Seriously.

I'm not sure about that. I was going way to fast to begin with...do you think I should still do it?

Cliffud: Yea man, it's insane. The kid in the back left should be dead right now. He always complains about being hella short...looks like it saved his life. I think i hit my head pretty good, but nothing bad. The GS is a VERY safe car, i can't believe it. Wider tires might have helped, but new brakes would have too. They hadn't been replaced in 80k miles which my dad JUST told me. It wasn't raining.
