as i pulled out of the gandy mcdonalds, a red civic hatch with altezzas buzzed passed me, asking for 'attention'. i promptly made it by his side, we both dropped the hammer and i proceeded to pass him by. as he faded in my rear view, i made my way over the hump of gandy bridge. as i was cruising down gandy bridge at a "liesurely" pace, my right rear drift tire exploded in a galiant display of rubber. i looked in my rear view mirror to see tread slivers flying in mid air. i thought to myself, "damn i dont want to change my tire on gandy bridge". at that moment the car pitched left, and i faught the spin. being that i was in the right lane, i now took up both lanes of traffic with a slow moving truck in the left lane. i barreled in towards him as my car finally pitched backwards; the passenger side slamming into the wall... i knew at that moment this was it. i knew i was going to die. i could picture the car careening off the side and into the water. i saw amber, my friends and Secret Services. but at the same tiume, it was very calming. i didnt go over, but rather hit and slid. as i slid backwards slightly slower than i was moving forwards, i could see traffic coming at me. with all the muscle i had, i kept the car in wall in hopes to not involve anyone else in my unfortunate accident. i could see in my rear view mirror, though, the truck that was ahead of me in the left lane. he was hitting the brakes to watch what was transpiring and i was closing on him.. FAST. he quickly changed lanes just in time for me to pass him... while going backwards. i passed him as quickly as you would pass someone on the interstate. we exchanged puzzled glances and i continued on my way... for 175ft against the wall. when the car stopped, the engine wasnt running, the tire smoke filled the car, change was everywhere and my wipers were going. my rearview was blocked by my open truck lid. i sat there, turned my neck... ooh pulled a muscle. looked for my phone... it was behind me in the rear package area. a nice motorist whom i had passed a mile back was just pulling up asing if i were ok and what happened. he called 911 for me and i got wisked away to tampa general.

Wow I'm glad you're OK, sucks for the car though. Oh and sorry if I was bothering you that one day about the FPR, just knew you were the one that could help me!

 

Good to see you are okay. How was your experience at TGH? The first and only time I will ever go there I was put in the infant section because the hospital was overcrowded. So I was sitting there strapped to a board with a shrieking infant next to me. Left with an even bigger headache thanks to that kid. Next time (hopefully there will be no next time), I will opt for Memorial.

 

damn man thta really sucks good to hear you came out ok
