I've been debating if I should post this or not. I finally found the courage to see this picture again. This was my recent car collision happened in June 22, 2018. I bought this car from my ex's friend. That time, my ex and I were still friends. I got this Ford Forte for $400. I lost count how many times this car totaled while I was driving it. The first time it happened was in the middle of a traffic. Drivers had to get out of their cars and pushed my car to the curb, including police officers. I was embarrassed and scared at the same time. That fateful night of the accident, I was going 30 on 35. It was dark and the road is curvy so I have to take cautions. For some reason, the wheel started to drive funny. The car was swerving. Next thing I knew I was hanging upside down. Thanks seat belt. I don't know how many times the car rollover. I just closed my eyes and let my body loose. I suffered bumps and bruises. Thank God. Last night, I drove my boyfriend's cousin's car. I was skeptical. I did some old routine; checked the side mirrors, checked the rear view, adjusted the seat, checked if I can reached the pedals fine, checked If I was comfortable while seating, checked where the blinker and wiper controls are, seat belt on. I did fine. I was not nervous at all. The only thing I was uneasy about was, the car is so big for me. It's a Hemi. Next time I get a car, I am confident that I will be alright. BF and his cousin were with me last night. They let me drive. So, yes! I am ready to get behind the wheel again. Please, God. NO more accident next time.

I thought so, too. I was talking to Eric the other night, "Do you think Toledo is for me? Since I moved here, I get nothing but back luck! Should I go back to Jackson (that was a joke.)

@scarlet_woman Sure will. After my divorce, all evil forces succumbed my life. Shun! Shun! Shun!

That car looks a mess. You were fortunate to come out in one piece.

I know. Anyone sees the car would say the same exact word as yours. I was lucky to be alive and still kicking as of today.

I was having a battle in head if I was going to drive last night. BF and cousin were my supports. They encouraged me to do it and I did.

I'm glad that you were safe an uninjured. It looks like the wheel bearings went, is that what caused the roll over?

I was a passenger and they flipped down a mountain, seat beats saved us, none of us had a scratch on us. I was a passenger in another wreck , almost a head on but hit more on my side by a drunk driving teen. No seat belts. I was taken to the hospital, could not feel my legs, broken arm, fingers flipped backwards, cuts and bruised. The other car, the top was flat where out van was hit so hard we flipped on top of it, a car full of teens got out a baby too, they all ran and hid at the gas station, except the driver and he arm was cut from elbow to shoulder, another girl had a broken leg and just fell to the ground. That was the worst accident I had ever been in. I could not stop driving but I was more aware when I was riding.
