LOL. I was just joking about the Xede, never could get it tuned right, so I blamed that. LOL. It was all in jest. Still have the car parked where it was since the wreck. Am bringing it home to make it a ballsy race car IF anything can be done with it. I should see what broke or gave way and caused me to veer right. I got these yesterday:
Got these sent to me, and these are the last photos I have of the car being on the road..........well, Ok, kinda on the road. Thick tree line is behind the tracks, and it was a good thing I didn't try and do a Dukes of Hazard jump across those tracks trying to miss the pole. I would have been worse off, or not even here today. I hit that pole a TON!!
Just last week, someone else hit a telephone pole on this road head on like me, but that driver was killed. (RIP). Thank god for the saftey features built into the Mitsubishi's.
What is wierd of the last photo, is that figure in the black/gray jacket is ME trying to help them pick up the mess I left on the road. Looks like I am a ghost in that photo. EERIE no?

Thanks again guys for the well wishes, and I am glad the kids were not in the car with me. At impact the wiring harness was cut, and it was dark outside when this happened, and once the power was cut, there was NO light inside the car either. The only light I could see was the oncoming cars, and it was VERY SMOKEY inside the car (Airbag propellent) and the smell of fuel was strong like I dumped 5 gallons of it in the car. The wires on the wiring harness were arcing on the metal up front, so I am glad it didn't ignite, and am also glad I didn't get knocked out. It was a scary ride for sure.
I never checked the tires to make sure they were put on the right direction, it was done by a large nationwide chain. Those were my winter tires to drive the car if I needed to over the winter. I usually put the car on jackstands over the winter, and work on it in the garage. Again, thanks for the kind words.
