Exclamation Im Lucky to be here today!!!

Bad news...
ill post pictures of my car in a day or two.

I was being "COOL" and racing...as the bend was comming around the tire blew out, that brings my car into a RailRoad Crossing sign.

Rips my door panel off (fiberglass) and my t-top totally off. All i came out with is a "slighty" cut ear.

For those of you that think street racing is "COOL" think again...just cause you may think you can drive "good and fast like a pro" DOES NOT mean you can actually do it. Im not saying im the best but ive had experience on courses.

I will not lie to you, life hits you hard after something like this happens..My head was within inches of being Sheared off...The T-top was ripped all the way off lock and all....

The after effects shows that this was not my time to die, so I know there is something for me to do here on this Earth. I will not preach to you..(I barely goto church)..But its never to late to thank the man upstairs for your life today. Mine was almost ended tonight.

Im now looking for a Driver Side T-Top for a 2000 Firebird. Any one willing to part let me know...

Thanks for reading,
~Brandon F~

I got one but you will need the weather stripping to go on it.

Shit, that sucks about your car but good thing you're ok.
Too bad for you, you used up most of your luck on this one, now you shouldn't even bother buying a lotto ticket.

Re: Im Lucky to be here today!!!

Were you racing another car, and if so did they stop to see if you was okay?

Re: Im Lucky to be here today!!!

Glad to hear you are ok. That could definitely have sucked for you. I saw a wreck, about 15 seconds after it happened this past Friday night. Five cars came whipping past me and about 15-20 seconds later 2 of them were spun out with damage to the front end and 1 was clean off the road in the brush off the shoulder. I pulled over and called 911. The dispatcher told me I was not the first call and they had someone in route. Everyone was out and walking so I took off. I just hope more people realize if you want to race, PLEASE take it to a track. This was a street with moderate traffic a day after a snow storm.
