My M is wrecked.

Tonybest · 04-04-2011, 04:11 PM

My thoughts are as everyone else... A speedy recovery for "Carlos" ... Please keep us posted on his recovery process. We all want a good ending.

gatorfast · 04-04-2011, 04:32 PM

That picture is excruciating to look at. Wish you and your friend the best.

VinnieAces · 04-04-2011, 04:42 PM

holy shit... thank God you guys are alive!! I hope Carlos' recovery is perfect and i hope you try not to think about this in a negative way, just be happy that you guys walked out of it alive

Quickid · 04-04-2011, 04:53 PM

Sorry to hear about this terrible news. Glad to hear you both made it out alive.

lucid · 04-04-2011, 04:59 PM

Ouch...Hope he recovers. That looks like a narrow country road--potentially with blind corners? What was the posted speed limit?

First of all, hope your friend makes a full recover. Second, I'm not a lawyer but I would advise you to keep the details to a minimum. This is a public forum, and should anything unfortunate happen to your friend, or for whatever reason his family choose to file legal action against you, not only are you going to be carrying that guilt for the rest of your life, but you may also have legal consequences to face IF any of this information were to be made available to the prosecuting attorneys.

Next, I suggest some car control clinic with your local club with whatever car you will be getting next. Not saying it's going to prevent stuff like this from happening, just saying it'll DECREASE the odds. I have not felt compelled to speed in about 8 years, since knowing what 120mph in a sweeper actually feels like vs. going 80+ on a freeway.

tjank123 · 04-04-2011, 05:26 PM

My thoughts and prayers are with Carlos. Cars can always be replaced.

lucid · 04-04-2011, 05:36 PM

I am really sorry about the person who is hurt. However, I can't help making the point that cars don't just lose traction and drive themselves off the road. If the road conditions are not entirely visible, if there are significant unknowns, then it is best to be conservative. When one loses control of the car, one can take others out with him/her--including people who might be in another car. I say this as someone who has been on both sides of the equation. I lost a family member in a traffic accident; the car travelling in the other direction lost control on an undivided highway. And, I hit a pedastrian in the dark while making a turn a long time ago. I was doing ~15mph, but should have been more careful regardless. Fortunately, the injuries were minor, but could have been much worse...Being in either sitaution is hell. Now, I am liberal only if I am on a wide road with lots of visibility, or on the track. Anyway, again, I really hope that the injured person recovers and people can move on...

Kroy · 04-04-2011, 05:50 PM

Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope Carlos makes a speedy recovery.

Edit: just saw the picture. hope you look better than the car cause i can't believe you got out of that in one piece.

pokeybritches · 04-04-2011, 05:57 PM

Prayers are with you guys. Wish you both the best.

jdl1pt · 04-04-2011, 05:57 PM

Man, I'm so sorry to hear about the accident and your friends condition. Hopefully they were able to get the pressure down quickly and he recovers well. My thoughts are with you both.

armorrig · 04-04-2011, 06:18 PM

Speedy recovery to you both.

Hughbert · 04-04-2011, 06:27 PM

My prayers are with both of you and especially Carlos for a quick and complete recovery. Scary picture.

Man Sorry to hear...My prayers are with you and Carlos.

ttam · 04-04-2011, 07:02 PM

sorry to see what happened. I hope Carlos will have a full and speedy recovery.

Diokaef · 04-04-2011, 08:09 PM

WoW, I'm Glad you guys are okay (alive) after that one, hopefully you guys will recovery quickly. Sorry for the car too man.

Incompatible · 04-04-2011, 08:21 PM

My prayers are with you and Carlos.

Phishman · 04-04-2011, 08:43 PM

I wish you and Carlos a speedy recovery. I do have to say though that I agree with some others here - you're giving information that can very likely be used against you in a lawsuit. I'd ask one of the admins to delete this thread or something similar.

inTgr8r · 04-04-2011, 09:28 PM

OMG that is a really bad one!!!
I hope that Carlos is on the mend soon.
