Dang, homie. What did I ever do to you?Originally Posted by Doppelgänger
However, its good to see that you're ok, OP.
I don't drive aggressively for that same reason. Had more than enough incident involving speed and stupidity.
Lets not turn this into a racial war please...Dang, homie. What did I ever do to you?
Unfortunately some people are missing the point of this thread. Glad to see that you made it out alive. Hopefully you can reflect back on this incident and have a greater outlook on and appreciation for life.
Not you... event I was talking about happened IN China...and the guy got all pissy and swore to only buy Chinese made cars from then on. Seriously, if that guy had been in a Chinese made car he would have died like 37 times. Not being raisce, just picking on stupid. Besides ChinaDang, homie. What did I ever do to you?

Really? That dipshit really thinks the airbags should have deployed?

take a look at one of his many "my old truck on the dragons tail" threads he makes and there, my good friend, you will find the answer.
I never made a old truck on dragons tail thread.

Stupid move OP, but then again, you were 16 and we were all dumb at 16.

LoL @ the fact that an argument started over spilled milk...i mean COFFEE.
OP - Will you part with Wheels?
$100 for all since one of the tires were Forcefully dismounted.
LOL Glad you made it safe man, is your hearing back?
Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?
WRONG!!!!! You have NO idea how legal stuff works. Let me enlighten you.
When this person, 16 year old kid, exceeded the speed limit into the triple digit range, he committed what is called a Willful, Wanton and Reckless act. He ALSO was BREAKING THE LAW. So.....99 times out of 100, ANY company will deny ANY coverage. There are rare cases of course where a person will win out, but almost all the time. Nope. You break the law you are fucked.
That would be like saying. "Hey, I broke into your store and robbed you, but the safety latch on your walk in Freezer didn't work and I got locked in and froze all night so i'm going to sue the company that made the freezer latch"
Sounds pretty stupid to anyone with common sense. Sure it sucks that the Airbag didn't work...or in his case, it didn't suck cause if it did he would be dead....but he should have never been going 120 milles an hour to even have to test that.
And comparing the McDonalds case to this case is just ludicrous. Though I do see your ode to ridiculous court cases.
Good thing you lived, and learned a VERY important lesson early on in your life and now you can be a better man for it OP.

Damn OP...glad you're alright.
This thread=more incentive for me to not speed. So much traffic around here, all it really does is make you wait at redlights longer anyways.
that did happen, just not that way. a burglar tried to rob a house and when he got inside slipped and cut himself(or something like that). he ended up suing the home owners and winning. i would say it doesn't matter that he was going triple digit speeds. the air bags are "safety devices" they protect you. imagine if it was a death or life emergency and he had to drive that fast to get to the hospital or had a fire at his house. he paid for the car with working air bags and that's what he should get.WRONG!!!!!

So you people just think airbags just "work" huh. LOL. Just like that - lol. "hello - airbags, work please... thanks." HA HA
Car guys don't know shit about cars - that's a goddamned shame.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
no you have to say abra-ka-dabra homes
the mcdonalds lady got paid because the coffee was unreasonably hot.
i heard she had 3rd degree burns and shit.
regardless of if there is a warning or not, you serve me coffee hot enough to burn my flesh off and im gonna sue you.
however, there was another lawsuit, where a senior sued i think an antiques store because her children were running around in the store and she fell and broke her hip... and she won, a lot.
im not reading this whole thread but post up some pics of the carnage...i want to see staples, and shit
-2001 Lexus IS300
-2004 Pontiac GTO - 530hp/625ft lbs - 10.62@130mph - Sold!
sorry. I was being a fucking idot and read your name as "jason" rather than "justin"
my bad homie. Glad you are here to tell us about the wreck!
Why's everyone tripping about the airbags? It's irrelevant and nothing can be done about it anymore.
Anyway, glad it changed your life because I'm sure you never want to go through that again and there's no need to put other people in danger as well. Amazing that you're here to tell the story! That looks like one hell of a wreck.
It's happened a lot of ways actually.
But either way, I see that the OP hasn't posted what he got in the settlement on the suit he said he filed. I'm going to guess nothing in the case of the Airbags.

Damn, I learned my lesson from "crazy driving" after wrecking my dads Impala in a ditch trying to powerslide out of my friends neighborhood. I thought I just broke a rim and popped a tire, but I ended up snapping a control arm, bending the frame, and more (about 3k worth of damge). I didn't get hurt at all, but I felt like shit for wrecking my dads car =(
Sorry was gone for a few days, As far as the suit the airbags where actually not the deciding factor in a settlement, it was the seat belt that broke/malfunctioned the air bags just added to it.
I don't know the exact amount of the settlement, my parents at the time handled it, I know it wasn't a substantial amount, but I do know it was kept to put me thru college, so I guess in a way of the wreck, it helped me reevaluate my actions and further my life with a good education.
Damn, mine was not as bad but it must be something about Civics...
But I was not being a dumb ass, my passenger pulled the fucking e-brake at 70mph, didn't mean to but still WTF!
YOU: *driving 70mph* "Man it's a gorgeous day isn't it??
PASSENGER: *curious* Wonder what'll happen if I pull this handle..."
YOU: "Well, I would ----
** HE PULLS IT *** ~ crash ensues
YOU: *stumbling, coughing up blood* "Dude that wasn't funny."
PASSENGER: "Yeah. My bad dawg."
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
No more like:
ME: Driving, ready to go get drunk...
PASSANGER: Holding on to the O SHIT handle and fucking with the e brake to make the little red light come on because he is a bitch trying to make me freak out because I just did an engine swap and thought I would think it was a check engine light...
ME: "Oh shit, a car just pulled out in front of me... I'm going to change lanes so I don't hit their punk asses, let me check my mirror...."
Next thing I know, I was sliding, hit a bank, was NOT wearing my seat belt so I flew out of the car (at 70) my buddy that was behind me said I did a few flips down the 30+ ft bank while my car did a barrel roll up in the air and landed 3ft from where I was laying... I woke up the (front) wheels were still spinning, the radio was making some weird fucking noise and I had blood squirting out of the top of my head. I broke my back in 2 places, my neck and fractured my skull... My "friend" got 3 stitches in his knee... WTF About the time I got put in the ambulance I realized, FUCK I don't have full coverage... I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and by the time I got out my "friend" had moved to Florida due to a few death threats hahaha

LoL @ Nick, when we went to his house he tried to get me to ride in his dad's Viper with him... I simply replied "no thanks" lmao He is a weird dude, but has some cool ass toys!
Only reason I went to his house was because my friend Glenn use to build his cars for him...
At least nobody else was injured.
