alright... lol.. i guess i'll explain

i came home from a Tour i was on this summer in the East Coast for Infinity and decided to take out the 14 and go fill it up. My buddy kept on bugging me for a ride in it since he bought my first s14 and also put an RB in it but didnt quite finalize it.

so im leaving my aprtment complex in Gilbert Arizona and go down the side street and make a right, i start ripping through first and shift to second then the car was driving straight but with the rear end walking a little bit do to the Cusco diff id just put in a month before. then it starts sprinkling and a car pulls out of a parking lot and onto the road i was on.

i see the car, realize i was doing about 65mph in top of 2nd and started making quick decisions as i only had about 20 feet to react. i hit the brakes and swerve around the car and the rear end starts to slip, i correct it and try to slow the car down but the angle and speed i was at caused me to head towards the curb, and of course it happened to be on a section of curb that goes down and level with the street to drive enter a complex.

at that moment my passenger side is about to slide up the driveway and i saw the pole and knew that if i hit the passenger side my friend would be done for since he isn't very strong and only weighs about 135 lbs, so i steer the car as quickly as i can so the car would hit the light pole on my side!

we hit it at about 50mph, and i broke my femur, my pelvis in 9 places, my hip is now plastic, and my bladder was sliced in half from the left pelvis plate getting pushed 90 degrees and forward.

on top of all this the pole obviously broke my A to B pillar and put me in and out of a coma for about a week

hospital for 1month, wheel chair for 4, tubes everywhwere for 4 months, and i now have titanium replacing the bone marrow in my left femur, a Ti rod across my lower back, and a total of 18 screws in my pelvis and knee

glad to say i did my job in saving my friend and whoever i could have T-boned!

im walkin fine minus the pain from wet and cold weather and should have my new car done pretty soon once i finish the not so Painless wiring and get the car painted once my D-max order comes in!


hope to see some of you at a FD license qualifier in spring :-P
