Default Goodbye Noisy Boy

Sad day yesterday. Lost control while raining heavy on the interstate. Hit the embankment and flipped. Was able to kick out the back door to get out. Cars prob a write off. Thankfully walked away without a scratch. Don't know what I have planned next as yet.

I'm glad you didn't seriously hurt yourself, or anyone else. Heavy rain deserves some serious slowdown. A lesson I've learned after nearly soiling myself a couple of times

Lucky you didn't plant the roof into that light pole or it could have been a different ending.

That's good that you were able to walk away; the weather in Florida was just awful yesterday.

Thank God you're alright. The car can be replaced and you'll probably get something better. In a fireman and see this quite a bit the cars are son much safer and many car makers are creating a cage of super strong metals to protect the occupants. Air bags also are helping a bunch. Glad to see you made it out just fine.

Wow thank God you are alive! It must have been super slippery since your tires still look like it has some good thread left.

Well, at least the headlights are still working lol

It was raining heavily here the past couple of days, too. I take a turn at slower than normal, and my car's rear still slip and sway left and right.
