I totalled my mx-3 tonite. I just got home and i cant sleep. A guy cut me off, it was raining i slid sideways into one of those thick poles, took that right out of the ground, then i took out a fire hydrant, and finally stopped on a curb. I had a base 4 cyl, 1.6l mx-3. No airbags. I had my gf in the passenger seat. She has a case of whiplash, i have a messed up ankle, maybe a broken rib,( dint go to the hospital) and a bunch of bruises, ill have more when i wake up tomorow. Its sad i enjoyed the car very much. Too bad it had to end this way. Ill post picks, so hopefully you can learn someting from my experiance. P.S, I wasnt drinking or speeding.(incase any of you were wondering)

It's sad that Canada will be forced to follow in the near future because of this abuse of the system.

I will let that one slide since you are a youth and you havn't yet grasped bigger concepts.<p>Actually the insurance company will settle and this has nothing to do with the government. You might enjoy free health care since it is free but the quality of Doctors is decreasing due to the almighty dollar. If you were a Doctor would you rather be paid by the government or the free market way? <p>Buy the way nothing from the government is for free<p>[ June 22, 2003: Message edited by: BUG$Y ]<p>[ June 22, 2003: Message edited by: BUG$Y ]</p>

something was wrong with that fireheidrent then..<p>Most are designed so they break off easy as of not to damage the pipeing or the shutoff vaulve located underground.

Back to the lazy people who fake injuries to benefit themselves, this is why healthcare premiums are so high thanks to lazy people like you. Go to college get a job. I'm young too but not stupid
