So my buddy owns a company and he asked me if i wanted to work a trade show with him in Burlington VT(which is a 4 hour drive for me)....offered to put me up in a hotel and pay all my expenses plus $1000 bucks for 2 days of just standing around at a booth marketing his company at the show with him...

Long story short after 2 nights of hard core partying and waking up early and standing around all day i was driving back home Friday afternoon and about 2.5 hours into my drive i dozed off and woke up after i slammed into a cement overpass bridge type thing.....i almost shit my pants....i thought i had gone and majorly fucked up my car....luckily I just have some major rash on my rims...well i guess more luckily is that i didnt kill anyone or myself

drift racing....battle scars!!!






































glad your ok...stay awake from now on. :)
 
man thats scary shit, i knew a kid that died years ago falling asleep at the wheel. ive been real careful not to drive tired since.
 
glad you're ok... i guess its time for some aftermarket wheels..
 
def. glad your ok..there was a bad accident on the highway right behind my house last night...lifestar heli..flew right through my backyard and landed on the exit ramp..that was pretty cool looking
 
That's good to hear you're fine! Driving tired is nuts. I've definitely fell asleep with my old 20 ft flat bad on cruise control before and I woke up in near the ditch many many times. Needless to say, I got the radio fixed for long drives so I didn't fall asleep to the elegant diesel engine.
 
Glad to hear your alright. That really sucks. Have you checked your suspension bits yet?
 
yeah, i noticed that too

2nd pic, the one at 11 oclock looks wack....
 
thats the reasr wheel i think so yeah it makes sense that the lug would bend in that direction... you should definitely check those out
 
Wow, that's really scary. I almost fell asleep once, with the girlfriend in the car with me no-less.

I'm glad you're alright, it'd suck to lose your life to something as stupid as not enough sleep.
 
Do you guys have the same law as us Canadians?. If we are caught without sleeping for 12hrs while behind the wheel, we get roadside suspension. 600 people this weekend got busted in Ontario alone with this law. I don't know how they know, but they do.

No, our laws don't mention sleep deprivation.
 
I flipped a car when I fell asleep.

I had a friend that did that too. He passed out driving back from some other city, four hard days and nights of playing shows, and partying. He didn't wake up till he was in the hospital for a couple days.

Hahaha seriously, how do they enforce that? Unless people are stupid enough to tell them they haven't sleep.
