How did your car save your life?

My car saves my life everyday when I don't speed into things.

Anyway, I'm confused here, did you hit the guy or not?

Yes, Made contact with the 2nd gas tank ..

The momentum of the car and the way I hit it
Made the car pull hard to the left .. after that .. it went
So fast .. there was no way I coulda done anything about
it ..

I believe the car itself recovered,
My eyes were closed thinkin' of a full impact ..

when the paasenger side fender and a bit of the
tire hit .. I dont remember myself twistin' and turnin' the wheel tryin' to recover ..

I beleieve the car woulda done exactly the same thing if my hand were off the wheel ..

Or im a fool and the state of shock made me forget every lil aspect of the incident .. Who knows

I did things in the car when my girlfriend wrecked my car (actually, she didn't wreck it, she was just driving) that I don't remember. The thing I'm concerned about is why you didn't stop?

Actually, I don't even care, the truck is probably fine. But people could easily have seen and followed you, like the Maxima for instance. Hope that no one else did.

Listen here boss.. general whatever

Driving like an idiot and speeding up are two
diffrent things .. I merely sped up

It was a 60mph limit, rather quick paced for a steet in AZ

I didnt switch lanes rapidly or do anything unexpected ..
He didnt yield to me .. I woulda got a insurance payoff,
but Im young and didnt realize I coulda just fought it off given the Expired tag situation ..



So Id appreciate it if you would not post in that tone again

regardless of who ya are "General" sir


and as for the Tag, I was awaiting my Metal tag in the
mail .. the MVD gave me a 3-day .. and a man has to get to
work

So, A big grin .. knowin' my car can hop from 45mph to
80-90mph rather quikly and he didnt stand a chance.

But I didnt see a Big Mobil Gas truck making a turn from
the on commin direction turning in front of me ..

HE DID NOT JUST HAVE ONE TANK ... BUT TWO ..
dont type in that tone to me either son.....LOL....hey i was merely trying to say that driving so fast that you dont see a tractor trailer pulling not one but two gas tanks means you were going a little too fast ....and having to cram the breaks and lock them up and slide from side to side"like a zig zag"

doesnt sound to you like you were going to fast .....LOL...

im glad your okay but you need to watch out more and pay attention to what you are doing instead of worrying about the maxima in your rear veiw mirror .....

wouldnt have you felt bad if when you slid around and hit that truck you would have taken someone out in another car??

you never did answer about the expired tag on your car why were you driving like a fool with expired tags that in its self says alot about you .....

Totally understand about haveing to go to work but why would you get in a wreck and then leave when earlier you said you didnt have leagal tags now you state you had a 3 day im sorry but this story is changing too much i hate to do it but

you also said the reason why you hit and ran when you did was because you didnt have leagal tags...cmon man which is it

why would you hit and run anyway thats not a very smart thing to do in the first place especially if anyone else saw you ......

i dont think you did this at all.....

post a pic of the damage on your car

Regardless of why you didnt stop, you were not very bright in being in the situation at all.

you make me seem like Im a criminal
If you left the scene of an accident, you are. You are the reason we all pay more in insurance to drive these cars

So let's see, you jumped up to apx. 90 mph on a 65 mph road and were paying so little attention that you hit a double loaded semi, then left the scene of the accident, all the while on expired tags? And you think the car itself saved your life. Can't forget that. It certainly wasn't your driving skills if you locked 'em up.

Just want to make sure I have the jist of this picture. Make sure you say your prayers and thanks tonight. I think this ine is going to make the rounds.

You didn't stop because your tag was expired? What a clown you are. That's not even a big deal. I got a ticket for that, it was $45. Now, if someone got your plate number, you'll have to answer to charges to a hit and run, reckless, driving, whatever else they can think of. Good going.

I didnt have a metal plate mounted.

I had a piece of paper taped to the back of the winshield with pretty dark tint. (temp tag 3 day)

Minor damage if not none to the truck ..

is that legal to not have any plate? Even when the plate is not registered to you as the owner, i thought you still need it. Thats why they give you the temperary tag sticker for your back windshield.

Anyway the only one who knows who you are and what car did this was the guy in the maxima or whatever. He believes you missed that truck so i dont think anyone will find out. Unless the trucker got a description of your car and police find it and see the damage and can prove it.
