Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

I was very happy to hear neither of you guys were hurt. It's also good to see that a lot of your parts are still salvageable from the car.

That is a crazy amount of sand on the corner though. What helps in the winter hurts in the spring :(

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

Any idea if the city/county has any liability for having that much sand on the road? We've had some pretty good rains this spring and it's taken care of most of the sand on the roads. That corner looks absolutely terrible—literally, I have never seen so much sand on a road—you'd think someone would have the responsibility to clean it up and make it safe for the spring/summer/fall.

When Hughes called to tell me about it I couldn't believe it. Just glad y'all are ok. Well, ok from the accident...not sure how well you guys fared the ire of the spousal units upon your return home...

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

I'm just really happy that the both of you walked away. That must have been scary.

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

The sand was not just on that corner but the whole area was like a beach, scheides had warned the group about the area and the potential danger. Very thankful no one was hurt, the car really did it's job, and everyone pitched in a moments notice. Scheides you have a great attitude about the whole thing, may you have as much fun with your next project.

***salute for a fallen evo ***

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

Thanks for the well-wishes everyone!

I forgot to add (I've told the story so many times now, so excuse me for adding details later) that the roll was as un-violent as it could have been. I literally have only a few cuts on me, and my head/back hurts a bit from just landing upside down for a moment.

The worst of the damage on me:

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

It was an unfortunate event to say the least. I take pride in being a good driver and knowing the limits of myself and my car, and I do all I can to promote people to become better drivers themselves. But when I see that one of my friends failed, and not only had an accident but totaled the car, I feel like I failed. The road conditions played a part in this, though all in all it's the nut behind the wheel who is in control. Hopefully we can all use this as a wake up call to better ourselves when behind the wheel. After all, the best mod anyone can do is the driver mod.

Anyway, Scheides was warned... I guess it's Peter's fault this happened since he didn't include my words in the packet. ;)

Sucks about the car Scheides! Glad nobody was hurt, and I know you'll come back harder with whatever new car you get.

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

Likes like thats two people that didnt read or listen to the cruise packet rules. :D haha jk

It is ironic that Scheides and I were worried all last week and preached pretty hard about this sandy section. Accidents happen.

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

Well, in Scheides' defense, his exhaust and wheels are shiny. :lol:

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

Well it seems like those times when you were a kid and your mom always told you "don't stick your hand on the red coil thing on the stove. It is really really hot"

Well, that "red coil thing" just got your attention so much and it looked to cool. You didn't care what your mom said. You wanted to test your mom.

So you touch it and burn the hell out of your hand... You'll remember that that "red coil thing" on the stove it really hot... (this comes from experience)

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

THIS!

ALSO, thank you CRAIG for coming over to my house and helping get the car into the garage while I was down getting beyond isht-faced in La Crosse. You are a great guy and I really appreciate it. Hope you didn't get any cuts doing so.

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

at least we are both ok for the most part now. we can replace or fix machines. we can not be replaced.

I called my soup last night and told him what happed since there is no way I would be able to work at the airport in the tow truck for 10hrs towing and fixing stuff. So I I got today and tue off now also. I will not be back to work to sat now. should be better by then. I just cant really lift any thing right now.

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

Ya, I'm still dazed from the whole weekend, let alone this crash! LOL what a blast we had!

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

It's awesome to see you in such high spirits. I would be in emo-mode if I had done that. Any thoughts on what's next?

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

Crappy! Good to hear you guys are ok though.

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

damn scheides, sucks to see the evo is R.I.P BUT, it's awesome to know that you guys are okay man. It could have been worse and good thing it wasn't. good to know that everyone enjoyed the cruise and made it out great.

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

ya know if it was a 1g this would only be a $250 fix, without insurance. you would tow it home and find another cheap shell for a dime a dozen and be on the road the next weekend.

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

WOW, glad you are OK!

Good cars are replaceable, good people are not.

Take a breath, collect the check, get another one.

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

So true. :)

Re: Better Sand on the Road than Sand in my Vag
 

Very happy your both okay!
