    Default totaled my car today..

    Looks like the end of the line for my '04 Sedan. Basics: Merging onto the 407 eastbound at Keele, another car cut into the merge lane in front of me, and suddenly stopped. I was cut off, tried to veer left, corrected back, car flipped either 2 or 3 times. Car with me in it, ended up upside down in the ditch. I knocked out the front passenger side window and pulled myself through the wreckage.
    Driver who cut me off did not stick around. Witness corroborated my statement. Police will investigate.
    I was not charged.
    Ambulance came, and checked me out. I declined a trip to the hospital. Walked away with at this point, minor cuts.

    Want to send out a few thanks.
    First - My Seatbelt. It truly saved my life today. I have always warn a seatbelt driver or passenger, and always will!
    The people who stopped at the scene of the accident to ensure I was out of the car. Those who stayed with me until Ambulance and OPP, and Fire arrived.
    Fish - for coming when I called, and helping me at the scene
    MPS&Speedbaby - for helping me at Street PErformance get all the valuables out of the car. Deal with the tow drives, getting me warm drinks, etc.

    Holy crap.

    Glad to hear you not only survived, but literally walked away from it.

    Hope all the follow-up business (insurance, police reports?) goes well.

    EDIT: Probably too soon to ask but... Any idea what you'll be replacing your baby with?

    Glad to hear you're ok, as others have said, a car is replaceable you are not. It's crazy to see how the rims came apart.

    wow...lucky you are safe.

    Horrible timing...good thing you got out with only a few cuts. I a friend that doesnt always wear a seatbelt and this is another example of how seatbelts save lives.

    have to say, it's already come across my mind a bit. My inclination is to obviously look at my options. But likely a new car as opposed to used. Likely within the Mazda family. I still think the Mazda3 is the best value combination on the market.

    Thats terrible. Everytime I've seen pics of your car I always really liked it, but as everyone has been saying your wellbeing is number 1.

    Well it's great that you are safe and with the prices/incentives Speed3 I'd assume is something you may be considering unless your totally against the hatch . Just dealt with Jeff for the purchase of my uncles 3 and he got a great price on a 2.5 GS hatch with comfort.

    Wow Ami glad to see that you're ok, that must have been quite the tumble to have broken your rim like that! If you didn't want to drive to Buffalo that badly you could have just asked, you didn't have to go that far


    seriously though glad to see you are ok. plus makes me much more confident while driving my car that you can go through something like that and walk away! Ami are you planning to buy any of it back from the insurance or did you strip it already?
    there's no such thing as too much zoom zoom

    First of all glad to hear that you are ok, also as sad as it is, it's nice to see that yet despite what is a very large accident the car held up well and did its thing. Hopefully they catch the d-bag who caused this.

    Good luck with everything over the next couple days.

    you should still go to the hospital to get checked out. Whiplash tends to come out after 24 hours.
    PLUS - if you need any physio, or chiropractic work, the insurance company might need some medical papers to prove you actually needed it.

    My lower lumbar is fubared after 3 minor accidents that just kept feeding to the problem. At the time, I honestly felt these 3 accidents didnt need to be treated, but now my GP thinks one more "minor accident" could result in hip replacement in the future.

    Holy shit!! Glad you're ok man. I wonder what was going through your mind on that moment. I would have been thinking of everything in my life, flashbacks and stuff.

    That's scary.

    Again, glad to see you walked away from it and lived to tell us your story.

    MPS helped me get out most of the main valuable items. Only items left would be maybe the exhaust. Everything else is done.
