[CRASHER]

*note* this is not a drama queen post nor is it intended as one ... nor is it a form to invoke pity, sympathy or understanding from anyone in any way shape or form I am simply posting it here cause it's easier to post it here then have to tell 15 people the same thing ten times over (which is why this thread is getting locked when I hit send) but this is the story of my car accident today and how it all happened, so spare me the drama shit tonight

my second job sent me down to Brick today (Lord knows why I took this call.. guess my dedication to the $50 it made me was universal tongue.gif).... all was fine until I finished... missed a sign for the parkway.. no big deal... fudged my way through the sidestreets of Wall then Howell... found my way to 195 and finally back to the parkway.. I'm thinking.. .yay... this will take a while but I'll get home.. highways are always safer right ?

So I get past the Asbury Toll Plaza... I'm in the left lane of the local side... I get this weird feeling... gotta get in the middle lane... half a mile up this guy spins out from the express side and misses me and one other car BY FEET (I am not exaggerating)... so now i"m all freaked out (now y'all know why I hate effing snow tongue.gif).... and I decide after taking an hour to get to the cheesequake rest area... I need to eat (never get the chinese there it's garbage tongue.gif).... after I get to eat I pass the raritan and I'm going along the parkway... about 1000 feet ahead some fool hits his breaks and causes this WALL of smoke.... i see this and lord knows why I revert to days of thunder and slow down but keep moving ahead.... and for whatever reason... maybe her brakes gave maybe she wasn't paying attention... who cares.... WHAM right into the back of my corolla.... I spin out into the left side shoulder... thankfully I think my goalie gear did a good job on asborbing the damage... I'm not hurt at all and my car looks fine next to the lady's lil ford focus (yes the green ford focus still haunts me for anyone who gets the reference)... both her airbags go off her windshield is a MESS... and it's just a god awful mess all over... so we wait the 45 mins for the tow.... the tow comes looks at my car and hers.... tells me that if I get my muffler tied it should be drivable home... so I find a place on 27... get the damn thing tied... try to get back on the parkway.... turns out the right wheel is totally fvcked and I can't go over 20 MPH without losing any control of the car... pull over AGAIN.. wait AGAIN.. and get the tow back to the place up the block... (I even did the right thing and gave the guy $10 for taking me off the parkway and above the call of duty)... bottom line.. I'm fine.. who knows about the car and guess what I'm doing tomorrow
