Hey guys whats up? i figured i would go ahead and introduce myself, well here goes... i am 22 and i live in jacksonville nc, i am a t6 incomplete asia b, and have been since june 22 2007. i ended up this way being stupid in my car, because im big on drag racing. anyways i was foolin around on a twisty road with a couple of friends and tried to pass one on the outside of the turn (i knew it was a big no no but oh well) and i guess i went in the ditch and flipped my car 7 times not wearing my seatbelt and came flying out of the sunroof and ended up 38ft from the vehicle... not good lol... that car was CRUSHED... i was medivacced from onslow memorial hospital to pitt county memorial hospita in greenville nc, i was there for 2 1/2 months during rehab, although the first 28 days i was in a drug induced coma lol... but im doing good so far, i drive an acura integra, i work at imports plus, and i have plenty of support here, BUT none of the support here has as much as all of you can offer... SO here i am guys... if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

WOW, WHAT A FRIGGING NUT CASE!

I've been not to welcome you sooner.
Oh well, recon I been busy elsewhere spredding mirth and mayhem throughout the Valley of the Long Distance Runners.
But I'm back. And I swear. I got my mind right now boss.
Being the unofficial welcoming committee to this wide spot in the road you seem to have stumbled upon allow me to introduce myself.
My name is E-dog and I'll be your eyes and ears on the ground as you climb aboard the HMS Goosebump. Galactic Go Getter wjth Gimps Galore. Get it?
Good.
Strap yerself in there Copy, nice 'n tight. There's a good lad. Helmut on?
As we navigate the site you'll find info 'n answers to any medical questions on yer right. Humor's up there to your left, and wheelchair and mobility queries dead center but a couple o' clicks down. Sex and relationship stuff's hidden so's the kiddies can't get to it and the
section on word games 'n stuff is back there a bit over in the corner.
Right about now we'll be exiting the nonsense department and pausing for a moment of silence to remember those who came before us
blazing a trail of joy and happiness so guys 'n gals like you and me could roll into the future knowing full well we'd be safe from the sorrows of a bygone era.
Anyway, seems my work here is done and them diet pills are wearin' off so allow me to bid you adoo,
and once again welcome to the site.
E-dog

somebody stop me before i post again!

I know the love of fast cars doesn't stop. Hey at least the car didn't land ON you. LOL

Take care.

actually funny you mention that... my friends were in the car behind me trying to keep up and they said that i was half way out of the sunroof when the top of the car hit the ground and then left me there so TECHNICALLY it DID land on me for a second or so lol... im assuming thats how i ended up in such bad shape... apparently i broke BOTH shoulder blades, a rib that punctured my lung, my right collar bone, my back in 7 spots and fractured my hip with a dislocated left leg... and of course... my spinal cord... i dont know why... but i feel like a LUCKY mot*** fu****! lol

Welcome aboard Copyright.

Love the Acura's.. an Integra was my first car. I must have wrecked that thing 10 times.. those cars are survivors indeed.

I had a TC, all decked out, when I wrecked. Wasnt racing though.. But I did manage to get ran over by the damn roll bars..

Copyright,

Welcome. It is lucky you came out as good as you did! I was always grateful after my accident that at least I didn't have a head injury. It sounds like you have a good attitude and a sense of humor, which will carry you far.
