Yeah its killing me not to be able to work on the bird! But the doc keeps saying dont push it or you will have major back problems as you get older. Plus im only 19 so hopefully I have many many more years.

lakenheath24 - when the state trooper got there the guy told him that he had nothing to do with the accident and he was just a witness but he has told a dew people he did and they have agreed to go to court with me and testify against him. About 2 weeks after I got out of the hospital he tried to kill himself, they tell me that he locked his self in his truck and just took off wide open until he wrecked, when he did the truck caught on fire but he just stayed in. They got him out but he is burnt pretty bad. Must be feeling guilty for something....

I was thinking about not hurting anyone else and in any situation like that your first reaction is to try and avoid it but sometimes it just dont work out like planned.

Wow.  I'm glad your injuries weren't any worse... if they even get worse than that.  I'm pretty sure every piece of sheet metal on that Mustang was bent.  Maybe the PS quarter didn't get any damage.

Actually passenger side quarter took out a mailbox! lol
The tail lights I used in another car and the wiper cowl. The drivers side quarter isnt too bad i dont think. But as far as the body and frame in general it could never be fixed! But hey if your gonna trash it you mine as well tear it up good! lol j/k

Yeah the worst of my injuries was my back, collapsed left lung, and some swelling around my heart that they are worried about. That is pushing down on my lung making it hard for me to breath.

i cant believe that guy denied his involvement.  thats a downright bitch ass move if you ask me.  he's definatly feeling guilt trying to kill himself.  If i caused an accident where the people or a person was carted off on a back board as i assume you were, i'd get really depressed.  i would have hit the guy rather than a tree, but who knows.  i know a lot of people that has the same story as you, taking it off the road and hitting something fixed like a house or tree.  when i got hit when i sitting waiting on traffic, the 17 yr old yanked the wheel to the right before he locked them up and hit/bounced off me and ended up in a ditch.  the marks on the road (130ft) are still there to this day (5-6 months later) and he wouldnt have hit the ditch unless he bounced off me, A WORK TRUCK ORANGE 86 F150 with 31in tires.

take it easy on that back.  if you can you should get it checked out for progress about ever 2 months IMO.

Wow, there had to be someone looking over ya'll. You can tell that was a bad hit. I hope you can do something to prosecute the drunk driver that caused it. So when did this happen?

Your Tbird shouldn't have abs unless it was originally a TC, or unless someone swapped all that stuff in.

Man, every time I look at those pics, something shrivels up and wants to hide...I don't see how you can look at 'em to be honest.
