R.I.P. 04 STi - Everybody keep ugmsti433 in your prayers *PIX ADDED*
Hey guys, thought I'd make a post about this because I have a couple of minutes.
ugmsti433 (Andrew) and I were driving my car in some heavy rain last night at about 7:00. I was the driver, he was the passenger. At about 40-45 mph, we hit a deep puddle of water that hydroplaned the rear end of the car (worn tires) and sent us into a drift that angled the car 90 degrees to the left, drove us up over the curb on the median and sent us into a tree on the passenger side of the car (right front fender/wheel/front of the passenger door). --I cannot understate the importance of good tires!! They were going to be replaced next week, but it's obviously no use now...
The car was totaled, and Andrew and I had to go to the hospital. I'm hurtin but OK, and Andrew is still in the hospital, now in ICU. 3 broken ribs, a partially collapsed lung and some pre-existing respiratory issues are causing complications. He's getting a lot better, and should hopefully be out of here soon (I'll be staying here in the hospital until then), but just wanted you guys to send your thoughts/prayers to him as he recovers. I'll keep everybody apprised of what's going on. Pictures of the wreck in a week or so. Thanks for the support, guys : /

Thank you guys for the comments, I'm in the room with Andrew right now and hearing everybody's replies is making him feel good.
Keep up the prayers! And as for my car, bigger/better sometime soon, so don't worry
