Rest in pieces 'ol Blue

Welp, the day I hoped would never come, came. Saturday morning, June 6th, I was coming home from a school sponsored post grad party when I fell asleep, missed a slight turn, and hit a tree. Two more miles and I would have been home. Lucky for me, I walked out of the car. I could have easily lost my legs or even died. My knees were pretty banged up and bruised, but one is fine now and the other is getting there. The floor started to crinkle up, the quarter panels started to warp, and the trunk is even crooked. I was wearing glasses, and one of the lenses ended up in the back seat somehow, without leaving any marks on my face.

VVV My cell phone was in this pocket of my backpack in the back seat. Somewhere along the line, it tore through the pocket, flew past my head, and hit the windshield. My dad found it on the dashboard. Oh, and it still works fine.

Am I the first person in the club to actually drive it until it died? VVV

Go play the lottery, you are one lucky bastard to walk away from that!

Holy cow! Glad to hear you are ok! Sorry to hear about the poor Neon.

I hate those school sponsored parties. They think they are saving people from drinking and driving and yet the party ends at like 12 and they expect everyone to get home safely after a long day.

I could ramble on and on about how much I hate those...

BUT once again, glad to hear your ok!

Actually, the party ended at 6 AM, which means I was up for 24 hours. Yeah that was a dumb idea...

Wow... That's insane... Glad you're okay! Thankfully you were asleep before and when you hit... probably kept you from worse injuries, or a worse crash from trying to correct it...

Sowwy about the Neon

Yeah it's weird, the radio isn't what moved. Everything EXCEPT the radio moved, it somehow stayed where it was and the entire dash came in like 4 inches.

Well, the good thing that came out of it is that the horrible orange interior pieces will be (or should be) laid to rest with the car...

More seriously, though - Glad you're alright and like everyone else said, you're luck must have been running extremely high that morning!

That is one of the worst neon wrecks I've seen. You are one lucky bastard! For real man.

Definitely take a moment to look over the gravity of the situation though. My best friend was pretty much in the same situation 1yr out of high school. He had a full ride to MSU, and fell asleep on a curve 5min from home. He rolled his Prism 5 times and hit a tree. He had to have his Left Frontal Lobe of his brain removed, among other things. 4yr later he can barely walk, and says things in front of his mom that are unbelievable lol.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, just pointing out how lucky you are man. Carpe Diem!

You're extremely lucky for walking away from that without issues. Wow that's insane. I can't even believe a school would sponsor an event that lasted all through the night. That's absolutely insane and poor practice. My school sponsored events never went past 11 or 12. But SIX AM?! That's sheer insanity.

If you had a passenger they would have fared far worse than you. Time for an SRT?
