who was your first crash
You know - car accident :scare:

Me?

I was working for the Department of Agriculter for the state of PA and driving a state car out in the boonies of Perry County. Unfortunately the roads were very wet and the weather was nasty. I ended up crashing into a telephone pole with the state car.

Funny thing is the accident was written up in the local county paper (which ironically is where I was living) and everyone at church the next Sunday was out inspecting my car wondering where the damage was done. Nothing was mentioned in the article that I was driving a state owned 1983 Plymouth K Car station wagon (vinyl seats, am radio and no air conditioning - btw this was my summer job).

BTW, the accident was also right at my ex-boyfriend's house. But he was a sweetheart and rescued me anyways

4. Bambi
I hit a deer on the way back from seeing "Hook" back in 1990. I didn't kill it, though. It was lying quivering in the street, and I had to beg the cop who arrived on the scene to put it out of it's misery.

I still hate the movie "Hook".

6. Downtown Tulsa....Winter 1990
I did an illegal lane change into a Jeep Cherokee. So the guy gets out of the car "That's not the smartest thing you've ever done"

To which I replied "How the fuck would you know?"

Hey, I was a smart ass 16-year-old quasi punk on my way to a baseball card show.

11. heading to a friend's house
made a left across a 2 lane highway. There was a huge F-150 truck turning left in the opposite lane. It was night and I didn't see headlights so I went. Unfortunately, there was an older couple in their brand new car in that lane. I almost made it, but my bumper caught their headlight and tore off the passenger side fender of the car. Only a small dent in my truck and no injuries, so it wasn't too bad.

14. when I hit the snow drift in the middle of the road
and just what was it doing there? I camd around a curve, and there it was.

I spun out into a ditch, flipped over upside down, and slid backwards into a phone pole. I had a seatbelt on, and bruised my head when I undid it and smacked into the ceiling of the car. My only injury.

I was 16, it was my dad's car, he was not happy.
