Newbie Alert

Ah... I just used my sig here that I use on other boards here.

Found my dream car in Phoenix, AZ, put a deposit down, added it to my insurance, got airfare out there for my best friend and I, picked it up, 5 hours into the drive home about 9pm driving in the middle of nowhere on I-10 I hit a large truck tire re-tread that I tried to swerve around at 80mph, car went sideways, went off the side of the road, caught air over the 4-6' drop to the desert floor, car nosed in, and then it rolled 2.5 times ending up on the roof. Best friend was asleep when it happened so he would be good to drive when I got tired, he was in an out of conciousness and had to be life flighted out.

We're both fine now minus my back issues every here and there.

Lucky as heck both of us survived. I contribute it to the seatbelts.

A couple of the only pics I have of it pre-rollover.

I saw another huge newbie post and had some time to spare so I figure why the heck not make it good. If I didn't have a buddy on the way over I probably would have kept going. As I mentioned I tend not to sign up on new boards much anymore so it's been a long time since I made a newb thread... I guess I was a bit pent up.
