4 years and 2 days ago, a guy did not negotiate the curve as he was going downhill. He then bounced on the curb and hit my Chevy Cavalier head on. My car was totalled. But I only experienced a broken left wrist. But it put me out of work for over 2 months as I work warehouse and do a lot of lifting. They usually say that most accidents happen within a mile or two from home. I was only six block down the street from my home. But I am glad for seatbelts and air bags!

My mom and I were driving home from Huntingdon, PA and it started to snow. I was in an 03 Pontiac Sunfire, and I lost control of the car on a side of a mountain. The car swerved and started to head for the guard rail that separated the road from a ravine. I really didnt want to go over the side, so I turned the wheel hard to one side and punched the gas and hit my brakes, trying to turn my nose the other way. I was able to point it back at the mountain, and I slid all the way off the road into the mountain. Needless to say, the mountain won. I was able to still drive home, but I had to put my headlight back into the car. The total damage was the frame shifted, the hood buckled a little, and the front end needed to be replaced. If the frame was shifted anymore, the radiator would have been shot. I was lucky not to be stranded a few states away from home.

Early December, 2005, 4:30a in the morning on the way to the gym. New Orleans still didn't have any traffic lights after Katrina or streets lights either. I stopped at a stop sign, mounted on a tripod. It was a blind corner because of the bridge on the right. Pulled out and, as Emeril says, BAM! Some guy in a new Chrysler 300 blew through the intersection and hit the right front wheel--later determined he hit so hard it drove the axle part way into the engine/transmission on the Avalon. Spun around several times, I came to rest against a pole. He landed in a parking lot on the other side of the street. Minor injury to my elbow. Both cars totalled. I got my deductible from his insurer. Later, cleaning out the car at the tow yard, the mechanic said the engine was just about ripped off the car. If I had been just a little further into the intersection I would have been T Boned big time, my guardian angel must have been with me on the way to the gym that morning. Replaced the Avalon w/ a Mini Cooper--life has been getting better ever since--shaved the head a little over a year later.

Hope these things don't run in "threes" for you.
About a year ago someone put a dent in the rear fender of my car in a store parking lot while I was in the store. Quess what, the jerk didn't leave his name. That irks me big time.

Last July, I stopped for a RED traffic light, and a low-performance driver (19 year old kid) in a high performance car (Mustang 5.0) rear ended my Corolla hard enough to break the seat back off. I ended up laying in the back seat. I have been seeing the chiropractor for a couple months , and its getting better.
Before that it was in 2003. I was headed for work one dark November morning. I was on a road between the Deer Grove Forest Preserve and the Village of Deer Park. You think I'd get a clue... I was buzzing along at about 50MPH in my Geo Tracker, when suddenly, all I saw was "brown". Whacked an 8 pointer. The buck had to be put down by two shots from the gun of an officer from (I kid you not) the Kildeer Police Department. I had to wait until daylight, but I drove the Tracker home (and blew off work for the day). -

August 2006, 11:00 a.m. I was driving a 2004 GMC Envoy and slammed into another car's (Mazda sports) rear near Bridgeview on Tri-State (I-294) in Chicago. LOL, I got a ticket for following too close (in Chicago??) but I claimed morning sun glare as my reason for not seeing car in front brake lights. But I think being out-of-state (Michigan) did not help. Luckily, nobody was hurt but it made WBBM AM 720 radio traffic on the 8's report. I felt so bad waiting for tow truck and watching traffic driving over parts of my front grill / bumper while Illinois officer was writing me. I took a driver safety course and no points put on my drivers license. What an experience ! ---Stasiu
