Some lady came out the wrong way of a one way exit ramp and tried to scoot into the other direction of traffic. She clipped me doing 50, I went on two tires 180'ed and rolled it into the ditch on the side of the road. Surprisingly I'm fine, seatbelts can kiss my ***

No I was saying I wasnt wearing my seatbelt. My friend in the passenger seat who was wearing his belt was almost trapped inside.

Not gonna get into a seatbelt war, I'll simply say they're there for a reason, whether they helped or hindered your particular case.



Sorry to hear about the XJ. It'll buff out.






(I'll pm ya about the rims!)


jk. But seriously, glad you and your passenger are alright. Whats gonna be the next vehicle? And agreed, this shows the strengths of these vehicles.

Oh def gonna be another jeep, just a matter of waiting and seeing how much I get for it. I wish I coulda taken the rims, I had to wait in a burger king for three hours for my ride to get there anyway so I couldnt take much from it. Where I crashed is six hours from my house so im in no hurry to go back

Just as a reminder, Tricare/mil healthcare doesn't HAVE to cover your costs if you aren't wearing seatbelts (or PPE on motorcycles)... Glad you are OK, seen plenty of times it hasn't been.
