I just totalled my 91' BMW 525i (defied death)
Edited on Thu Oct-18-07 05:07 PM by CalebHayes
I should have died. I must have great karma. It was all so fast. I lost control, hit a brick barricade, completely busted off a fire hydrant, plowed over a guard rail, then stopped when I hit a tree. It was like... WHAM, AIRBIG IN THE FACE, SLAM, WACK, WACK, STOP.... The police told me I did two 360s and that I was going about 70 mph. As soon as I stopped I kicked the door open and ran out. Somehow I only have a scratch or two and the airbag broke my nose. Just wanted to tell someone my cool story. Here is the funny part... when the car stopped and the whole car was slammed in Justin Timberlake's futuresex/lovesounds was still playing. Thats my story for the day.

11. Very good to see you came out alive.
Only a broken nose. Good to see you have nothing else injured.

You'll get another car from your insurance.

4. It's a good car, my mother flew into a field with a 520i 91' and it was still ok

I didn't know that the 525i had an airbag, probably an extra I assume.

14. Damn, brother! That's one helluva story.
Glad you lived to tell about it. :hug: Take care of yourself and really monitor how you're feeling over these next few days. Sometimes it takes a few days for the shock to your body to fully integrate.

Be careful out there! :hi:
