My SAAB protected me... Posted by Chris9k [Email] (#3127) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Chris9k) on Tue, 26 Oct 2010 12:26:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Driving yesterday in the rain. Was going around a bend at 45mph(speed limit) when the back tires hit a puddle with some leaves and possibly an oil slick and shot the back end around. I slid across the road(thankfully no one was coming the other way at the time), hit a bump that went over a big drainage pipe backwards which got me airborne. Went over that and then down into a 8-10ft ditch, all backwards. Impact was pretty severe. No glass broke but the back hatch and hood won't open. Doors all opened even thought the tops of the passenger side doors are pulled out. Car is totaled, but I walked away without a scratch. I am a little sore today but in no pain at all. This was my first accident after 10 years of driving and 400,000 miles(all on SAABs). This was my 5th SAAB and the first one that showed me one of the main features of these cars..the real world safety. I'm am just glad I didn't hit anyone and that I walked away unhurt.
