I crashed my jeep in the side of the road this afternoon (7/29) after a business trip with my lifeguard buddies from work to the lake. I took a sharp corner too fast and a bit too wide. My back end hit a boulder and I tried readjusting, didn't work too well as my front caught the hedge on the passenger side and it flipped the car onto the drivers side.
Thankfully, jeeps and swimmers are durable beyond belief and I had the roof down, allowing me to crawl out without a scratch. Well, actually I have one on my index finger, but the paramedics checked me out and said everything was fine.
They almost fooled me with the "who is the current president" question. No one got hurt and I got a traffic ticket for "going too fast for conditions." the jeep suffered a few more scratches and dings due to gravel and now has a flat tire. But it still runs like a champ.
Moral of the story: going to the lake can cost 300 bucks. Oh, and don't speed (I was only going like 2 over) when the shoulder is gravel and the corner is super sharp.

GOOD JOB GINJI. Flipping a car is awesomely dramatic! I've gotten in tons of crashes but never managed that! Did you get a pic??
I'm happy you're ok and stuff and yeah.
$300 is ALOT. Sucks. BUT at least its a fun story? Especially if you add sound effects : D

Satius Your insurance is gonna skyrocket. You know that right? >_<
I didn't think of that when you first told me about it. Only if the insurance finds out about it. -wink- And no one is going to tell them. Right?

choic Jeeps look way more badass beat up anyway This ^ Also it sucks that you need a new rim. That's what happened to the front rim on my Jeep Cheroke when I crashed it, and we ended up needing to buy 4 rims cause we couldn't find a matching one anywhere. ;-;

OHH SNAPS! You are LEGIT now!
TRUE SURVIVORS FTW!!!!!
You should PROBABLY embellish the story a little next time. For instance;
you were driving down a terrible cliff, and then a giant moose walked on to the road, and you tried to swerve out of the way, but a baby was there, so you went the other way, and then you drove off the cliff, your car flipped 9 times and then you and your family were caught in the jeep, but you pulled yourself out of the wreckage and saved your 6 little brothers and sister, your parents, your uncle, your aunt, your grandparents, and the nice lady from next door. THEN you collapsed, so they all held hands around you and each shed a single tear, all of which landed on your chest, then the color came back to the world, the fairies began to glow again, and Peter Pan caught his shadow and returned to Neverland.
