Default R.I.P Sc300

i was just driving normally through a canyon road with narrow turns, the speed limit is 45mph, im going about 50 to 55mph, so me and my one of my close friends are just riding and at one of those turns i lost control because it hit gravel, so my car flipped into a canyon river-bed and i am about 45 to 50 deep in with my first impact being with sharp boulders, but i walked out alive (knock on wood) with not a scratch on us, just glass cuts on my palm and thats it, i just wanted to thank GOD that he saved my life, the crazy thing is that this all happened at 9am this morning and it is ramadan and i am still fasting, something else is that a couple months in this same location, another guy died in that same spot, we saw his cross, may he rest in peace too. i will post pics later of the cars condition.

holysheet dude!! im glad ur ok and u were able to walk away with only cuts and bruises. i would make a complaint about that certain area to the city and have them maintain or put up some kind of restraining tarp to prevent loose gravel from falling into the street.

That's great!

If I end up "kickin' the bucket" in my SC, I'll stop by on the way to heaven to let everyone know :P

Im so glad to hear you came out alive. I wish I could say the same for your SC. Ive been in some pretty bad wrecks but my SC takes it like a champ. Hopefully you're able to recover from your glass cuts soon and find yourself another beast. Please post pics!
