I got out of the car snapped some pics, and then i was taken away on an ambulance....
i was on my way to pick up some parts for fest.
BTW just so everyone knows jose's lip was my idea.


















glass slivers... that pic was taken right after then cleaned my arm, it was covered in blood



and a hole in the throat always feels nice



all and all m shoulder is most likly broken in a few places (going to get more xrays tom)
shoulder dislocated, and gashes all of the arms and neck. Im just hoping my arm will be fine, but ill leave that in gods hands
UPdate!!!!
The other driver was found, i am waiting to hear more details. his insurance will cover it (if we didnt find it mine would of as well). hopefully ill be able to buy my car back for under 3k and part it out.
here is the story on the other car, the wheel is one of those that screws on literally. and he was drivings northbound and i was going southbound. his wheel came off, hit the center divide, and launched in the air. and then hit me. he is fully responsible, what would my legal grounds to sue even be????
await more pics
here are some more recent pics of my car.
not to mention i just dropped about 1.5k after this, to make this car look sexy for bimmerfest

























Just for fun



more pics

My gawd .....

Another inch and you likely would be dead. Even so, I can hardly believe you survived this! Perhaps you should buy a lottery ticket this weekend

Is it fair to say, if you were carrying a passenger they would now be dead.
Wish you all the best in future and may the outcome be very favourable for you !
