    Default Well... its the painful end to my friend the camaro...





    Well the end of an era has come. Before I go into this any further, I ask that no one post about this outside of this post, as I have some family that is currently traveling back home from vacation and I do not want them stressed and worried. I know I have other family on here, and I ask that you please respect that as well for me to let them know when they return. All responses or comments go here as I have this post hidden.

    If you look close in the photo, you will see the camaro's final resting place before I was transported to the hospital. She is Done... there is no doubt that the car will be totalled at this point..

    Let me begin with saying I am fine. I HAVE a contusion to my head, as well as below my left knee. I was consious the entire time and actually handled the scene until emergency crews arrived. Robeson & Birdsboro police as well as fire and ambulance from the area were fantastic. I walked on my own to the gurney and on the ambulance... i called angela from inside the car as I waited for help to get out... and even told the nice lady who called 911 for me, what to say so that they did not dispatch unnecessary services. Got to the ER, i walked in... i walked from bed to cart and back again several times as they scanned... cat scanned xrayed... etc etc etc... Well turns out... I broke my hip... so Im here to stay, at least till I see the surgeon to discuss what he wants to do 2moro.

    Kinda funny... i walk here... i walk there... i walk with no issue, then they tell me "u have to stay, cause u cant walk." Lol, I beg to differ.

    Of course knowing how much Angela would worry and panic, I knew how important it was that I be the one to call her. Also that i be calm and minimize the incident. She arrived at the hospital to be with me... fighting tears the whole time no matter how much i reassured her that I was ok... she only left a lil bit ago to pick up stuff for me and pick up the items that were being secured for me at the pd. Thanku my love...

    Now for what happened... because I know thats whats on everyones mind... I was heading to the PC&C event this am, traveling on 724. As we passed the Robeson Twp Pd building, there is a passing lane. I was following a beautiful red 3? Street rod that was traveling around 40. We were in a 55mph zone, so i (5th gear) signalled and switched lanes. Began accelerating, and as i was just passing him... something happened... the camaro turned hard right, just ahead of his front bumper, all i could think was IM GONNA WRECK, I CANT TAKE THIS GUYS CAR OUT WITH ME. Between his braking and me fighting it, i slid right past him and nailed the guiderail with the front driver side fender of the camaro, which then swung the left rear into the guiderail, and began the violent spin like a top...

    Bracing myself in the drivers area, as I was not wearing a seatbelt, I shot across the roadway towards the trees and drop off... seeing it coming, I put my head down and braced for impact...

    The car and I charged into the treeline sideways and came to rest with the passenger side against a tree and a concrete drainage piece...

    As i said earlier... i was concious the entire time and I remember every bit of it. Checked myself over from head to tow, and found a bruise on the side of my head and the hip pain. Police arrived on location, and helped me get out as i was unsure of the extent of damage to my hip. I was armed so I released my piece to the officer to hold for me as I walked to the ambulance. I even stopped and went back to get my vape... lol.

    While in the ambulance, I asked if I could sit in a regular chair cause laying down was uncomfortable.

    While Angela was here with me in the hospital, i called and spoke with the officer. He advised me that the guy I was passing said that he was going 40 and I was not going that fast when I passed... told him it was odd cause the car just turned... the officer actually stated that the guy said it appeared as though the "rear, or rear axle had broken, turning the car around violently." So Ill be checking out the car when I get a chance.

    Long story short... the end of an era has come. The camaro that so many know as my car is done... I hope to get photos later, when I am allowed to leave the hospital, however for now... I lay and wait to see if they are going to screw me back together, or what...

    Im currently pretty medicated, so I may not answer messages or texts etc, but feel free to holla. Not alot to do here, ya know. Lol.

    @popo8 what did you hit your head on? Thats a helluva egg.

    Just relax, do what the docs want, dont want to hurt ur hip anymore than it is, that would be bad. Like ive said multiple times, cars can be replaced, but you cant bro, and you got alot of people who care about you. Enjoy the sponge bath!
