Yeah man, trying to go fast at any point on Mercer way is a really really bad idea. I made my mistakes on the island way when i was younger and was lucky enough to never have anything like this happen.
I hope everything works out with insurance for ya.

Elliott, like everyone on here, I'm glad that you and your friends are okay. It's perfectly normal to feel the way you feel right now. You'll probably feel that way for quite a while, but that will pass. Listen we all make mistakes, that's how we learn, don't be too hard on yourself. The car can and will be replaced, just be glad that's all that has to be replaced, trust me I know.
The important thing is that you and your friends are alive and well and you know who to give credit to. What you went through and still are going through will pass too, but you will be a better, stronger, and wiser person because of it. Someone mentioned that God has a purpose for you which is true, he has a purpose for us all, you just have to find out what it is. Don't worry it will be something you like. The car will be replaced with something better (Supercharged GS460 maybe ) but your life and the lives you affect are much more valuable and important. Like most of the people on here I don't know you, but like most of the people on here I don't want to hear about anyone gettting hurt. This is a great group of people that I'm glad to be a part of. I will pray for you, your family, and your friends and their families as well. Stay strong and don't focus on what could have been; focus on what could be from the best opportunity anyone can have.

Glad everyone is ok. That's the most important part. It's too bad i never got to see your baby up close. Yours was one of the cars i looked for my mod inspirations. Anyways again glad everyone is ok and get back on that horse!! We'll see you back on the scene soon.

Mercer Island Way is a very very twisty dark road. Lined by nothing but million plus dollar houses. There are many parts of the road that can send a car flying place a car shouldnt be. People think its a great place to go "test" thier cars and often end in results very similar or worse to this. Hopefully thats not what Elliot was attempting to do, but it is a raod in which you want to follow all posted speed signs, expecially the "suggested corner speed" signs.

A bit late on this thread, just hoping you can overcome this unfortunate accident. Like everyone said, its just a car and it gave you the same love you gave her by saving your life (with some help from the Big Guy of course). Rest, relax, and you'll come back from this. Glad to see everyone somehow managed to walk out of this one.
