really glad to hear you made it out alive with all your friends. the car looks like it took a lot to save those inside. wow! u ordered a turbo? hhmm, might wanna reconsider a turbo if you have a heavy right foot. but most important, please be careful, we dont want to lose a CL member, for any reason.

again, most importantly, you have your health. let's all make wise decisions.

Glad you and your friends were not hurt. You'll find something else to put that turbo in soon enough. Good luck bro.

Damn man, crazy. And you were about to drop in that turbo in eh? I was talking to you like a few days ago on AIM and you said it was going in anyday. Hopefully you recover from all this and get everything resolved with the insurance. Then maybe get another GS and drop in the stuff

If you have full coverage, they're gunna have an adjuster come out and assess your car, then you'll get a check. If you had liability only...nada man

You can say that again. I'm sure i'll be hitting that ****in ugly corner at around .1 miles per hour...

Thanks for all your support guys. I took a second look at the car today with my buddies and just about puked, i can't look at it again. The image of the bushes in my headlights and the windshield cracking in front of me is burned into my mind. I kept my eyes open the whole time and can remember everything, just flipping and then unbuckling my seat belt only to fall on my head because we were upside down. Then scaling a 30 foot ravine with a broken wrist like it was nothing. I ran like Hiroshima just happened, which to me, it did.

To all those in the NW i can't wait for our next meet, I just won't be in a lex . To all of those i've met that aren't in the NW (Mark) I hope to see you soon with my college venture. To all of those that I haven't met, i'm sure I will sometime

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.
Glad youre ok but if you think of legal action, I would remove this part
