Poor Decisions...
10 years ago
~Welcome to my Journal of Randomness!~
~*♥*❤*♥~And lucky to be alive...
Missed a turn. Went down a road Idk. It was raining all day lastnight. And took the road to get back on track and didn't realize it had a sharp curve...
To put it short. I spun my truck around almost tipping it and got it stuck in a ditch... On the otherside of the road is a deep drop off to a cow field with spikes up holding a fence up..
I was going the speed limit when I took the turn which was 45. Saw a sign that warns you of the turn. But was too late to slow down. I got down to 30 before hitting the turn.
The sign was a short notice. Like one of those signs that says BUMP and right next to said sign is that bump. That's what the curve was like.
Even though I did a full 360 in my truck me and passengers are OK. Just afew scrapes and bruises and sore backs.
Truck however... Body is bent abit. Driver door won't shut now have to use bungie cords to keep it shut now. The muffler is bent. My trunk door is jammed shut. Lost the Crystal and Sam license plate. Luckily was found.
But despite the damages. My truck still runs and is still drivable. I just... Gotta pay to get it fixed up now.
So plans for moving out as been set back. I don't have happy parents and I feel guilty as fuck even though everyone is OK. But it's my fault for endangering my family and friends...
But Yeah just little update of my stupid decision...

I also understood how you feeling - I had to making an immediately stop in the rain too, didn't realizing that I threatened the road as well and got my Cooper's ass kissed (not smashed, just softly bump) by another car from behind. Minor damage, but... at least nobody are injured and your repair bill is at least $1000 or lower (mine was at around $600~700 when got it fixing).
Mistakes do happen the damage doesn't look too bad
no real damage
you're fine.
you didnt hit anybody else
no tickets (right?) you're great! Vehicles just run off roads sometimes, it's what they do lol. I've been in a few wild situations myself and yeah it can be scary but you get used to it lol.
