Today is a good day

Earlier this morning I was involved in a car accident. I was headed on I-70 to Colorado Blvd. I looked over to change lanes, started changing, when the truck in front of me slowed down. I ran right into the mechanical lift on the back. The metal bar ripped through the car's hood and engine up to the dashboard cracking the windshield, I was on the brakes, but was stuck to the truck, so I was dragged behind it for about 50 Feet (Fireman's estimate). In order to get the car free, the truck had to back up, and then push the hood down to pull forward. It hit the car too high to let the airbags go off.

I walked away without a scratch, so today is a good day.

Update: Here are some pictures of the car.

    Yikes yes it is a good day when you can walk away from that. So does that mean you are getting a new $135,000 Audi R8 I want?

  2. Ben Reubenstein said about 3 hours later:

    LOL! Yes, that Audi R8 should be really cheap to insure as well. Maybe we can both get one and race...

    Whoa! That is a crazy ass accident. I've never heard of anything like that happening. Unbelievable.

    Good thing you're ok, though...

    Thx Bobby. I am stoked to be ok. Just found out that the car is officially totaled!
