I think it is time I admit to what I did only 2 weeks after getting my drivers license and driving out of my (then) ability. These pictures pretty much explain one of the biggest reasons I LOVE vw so much. how could I trust another company after vw saved my life.

I left out the picture with blood in it, but all of these can be found on my photobucket profile. I no longer feel ashamed of my stupidity, although I dearly miss that car. vr6 passat wagon, black, black cloth interior, 6-disc changer, sunroof, 5-speed, monsoon sound system.

just me being stupid and doing 115 on a county hwy. entered the corner low expecting to drift high which did happen, but I did not account for there being gravel kicked up on the road at the top of the corner. rear end spun around, cut through a telephone pole, endoed through a narrow gap in some pine trees then barrel-rolled 3 city blocks. 14 staples in my head. the cop sad if my car was 2 feet in either direction at the pine trees, the car would have stopped dead in its tracks. needless to say, my guardian angel cal fly very fast.

an old bug or a new one? I have always wondered how the would handle a rollover accident. of course not.

70, I let him borrow it to go into town to get some dinner (we where doing a military ems class) and he ended up going to a bar. Of course my other friend who went wouldnt drive although he was SOBER. He hit a deer on the way back to base and left the scene. Unfortunetly I told the insurance company I hit the deer so I havent seen any money from him yet. there is 1k I will never see again.

Old bug, blew out a tire on the front pulled off, I over corrected and rolled it , dented in the roof on the right rear , busted the rear and side window banged up the front fender, settled on all fours, took the tie iron out, pulled the fender out, changed the blown out tire with the spare and drove it home
