Fubar, you are blessed if you walked away from that one, and we're all blessed that your here. Your GT gave her life for you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks for all the prayers. I was certainly being watched over. I wish it were a heralding story but it's a rather pathetic end to a beautiful GT.

I was on a service road and someone in a POS yugo (or something like that) cut right in front of me. I changed lanes to get around 'her' but she changed lanes again in front of me. So this is when the stupid part of my brain takes over and I goose it to go around her. Temps were about 45-50 so the tires just spun and because I was off camber the car went sideways. I would be willing to bet the farm I wasn't going over 45mph when I lost control. I slide sideways toward the grassy embankment (slowing down the whole time) and then I hit a light pole with a concrete base. It tore that GT right in half.... it broke my leg and 4 bones in my face. All in all I'm lucky to be here.

If any of that sounded bitter, I didn't mean for it too. All I can do is laugh about it. I'm alive and the car will be replaced. I was the only dumbass that got hurt (thank god). Just remember to respect the power of these girls.

Before I read your response, was just thinking the same thing. About a week ago I was pissed at someone that kept getting in my way. At the left turn (when her in front) went a little on the heavy foot to go by. That was stupid. The cars are tough enough in a straight line. I didn't loose it, but when I looked back I thought that was pretty stupid. That same type of "moment of being pissed" does not belong in a GT.

Isn't it amazing how these cars seem to find poles?

Here's hoping for a quick return to a GT saddle :cheers

Omigod. Glad that you are doing good.

Mark,

Holy mackrel!! :eek I'm happy you're still on the right side of the grass and able to type a note to your extended GT family. You've got 60 days to recover, then haul your newly mended body out to Arizona and spend a few days at Barrett Jackson with us. Dinner and drinks are on me Mark. I'm glad you're okay bro.
