check this out
this happened to me last night at around 9:30
the police are coming over in the next few minutes so i can file a claim.
the one thing i'm glad about is that i didn't hit oncoming traffic when my car lost control, because a 6000 pound car traveling at 45 miles per hour, would've hit the drivers side and i would've killed whoever i hit :shaking: :eek2: it's pretty amazing though. "FM1960" is an extremely busy road, it's got 3 lanes on either side, a turn lane in the middle, and two side lanes (for emergency use)... i went across all 8 lanes (i was on the right lane, on the left of the emergency lane)
damn

So you made that little Flash thingy did you, Stealth?
-
**** man I'd start lookin for a new front suspension and as for your brakes.......i dun wanna think about it. (Discs?) Sorry to hear it dude.
-
You have entirely too much time on your hands. :D:D
-
yeah i made that flash thingy at 2:00 this morning :p because i couldn't sleep (i was still shaken up) and because it was too hard to explain to people exactly what happened... particularly when i have to explain it again and again and again to multiple people.
-
that is why you don't **** with a computer geek, most normal people would have just dawen out a picture with a pencle, but you made a full flash animation.

Someone drove into the side of my dad's 4x4 a couple of weeks ago. There's a lovely delve in the side of it now.
It's been written off, leaving us with a tidy profit...
-
LOL thanks Bobbau,
the two cops just left, i explained to them what happened, and then i was like "Hey let me show you something" and i took them to my room and showed them the animation, and they were like "wow, that's the first time someone's ever animated the whole thing out for us!" they were pretty cool

vyper: back brakes are drum, front brakes are disc, so if anything's wrong with the brakes (which i'm pretty sure there is) it's a good thing (in a way) it was the front that hit the curb hard and not the back, because drum brakes would've been really expensive to fix

Yesterday, my dad had to go take on of our cars to the mechanic, so he needed me to drive the other car along so he wouldn't have to walk back. Now, I'm not what you might call a good driver, I barely know how to avoid a fatal crashed every 10 seconds. Porbably due to the gross lack of experience.
Now, I've just woken up literally 2 minutes ago, so I put on some clothes and get in the car. I throw the car into reverse and totally forget there is another car parked right beside. I make a hard right and ram the front of the car into the one parked beside. Its pretty obvious that if I try to unbudge myself, its just gonna cause more damage. So I get out, my dad barely manges to unbudge the car, with the other car moving forwards and backwards with the movements of our car.
No dents or anything, well maybe one dents but I don't know if that was there before. The drive to the mechanics takes about five times longer than it should have, since the mechanic is lazy or something and isn't taking anymore customers. Went to like 5 different locations instead of the inteded one, and I along the way I get a few dirty looks and a few people honking at me.
Not as interesting as your story, but I don't feel like making a flash ..

You ask cops to your room, telling them you have something to show them, and they agree?
How very troubling

yes, because believe it or not, when someone says to someone else that they want to show them something, they don't always mean in a sexual manner.
maybe that's what cops think when you say you want to show them something, but that's your life and i won't get involved... :rolleyes:

i think he was implying firearms.
-
Stupid drivers... Tell me about it... :doubt:

Yes
-
oh
ok. sorry then, i misunderstood what you were implying.
anyway, they were already in my house, i don't think they were very worried.
-
They could of thought you were a mad dog if you said you had something to show them in your bedroom. Still i hope your insurance etc works out.
-
Damn lucky there Stealth... Do you realise that a 45 mph impact like that off a curb can cause a rollover... Not trying to scare you but i`ve seen cars rollover at slower speeds than that, since I travel interstate 90 to and from work (the drive takes an hour one way) and have seen many accidents over the corse of my 12 years of driving I90..

Welcome to Life. You now know just how stupid people really are.

At least you got a quality flash video out of it.

you call that quality? pffffshhh. ;) thanks Corsair.
Whitelight: Yeah, well my car is really heavy, and really low to the ground, so i don't think it would've flipped if i was going 90. i'm suprised, though, that i didn't snap my wheel right off, although i know it bent everything, but the car hit the curb and bounced right out into the second lane, so it DID hit the curb pretty hard, and my neck still hurts
-
Well, a quality idea anyway. I don't know high quality Flash when I see it...just sucky flash. And that isn't too bad....
-
Woa. The Flash Animation like, totally brings out the seriousness of it all. I have insane urges to click 'back' but.. woa. OMG.
-
I glad everyone is okay.
BTW, What kind of car? I hope there's only some minor cosmetic damage. It can be pricy but the car is still drivable, it would suck if you have to leave it in the shop a few days and have to have the axle replaced.

Woa man, get away, it's like you're inside my brain.
-
no i just knew you liked playing with animate objects :P
-
Dude, you're supposed to slow the **** down at intersections. You took that corner like a madman!
-
its nice to know your safe and all...
but lol at the animation. Thats a champion effort. I can't believe you showed it to the cops.
Have you heard back from them yet? did they catch the wanka...?

well an0n i just had to try that "drifting" stuff that all the asians do, and what better place to try it than on one of the biggest intersections in the city :p
Grug: yeah well why the hell not :p :D
