Hey Everyone,

During our weekly MOCA meet last night, on the way back one of our members houses-- Mike had a car pull out in fron of him on a blind curve and then slam on their brakes.

To avoid hitting the car, Mike slammed on the brakes, pulled the ebrake, swerved into the other lane, saw a car coming the other way and swerved back.

He then hit a curb, missed a telephone pole by less than a foot, hit a sewer drain thingy and the car flipped over and landed in a ravine (big ditch) and slid 30 feet of its roof.

Mike is okay (Thankfully) but his car is totalled. Mike bought the car new back in 1993 and it was his baby.

Mike was not speeding or racing, BTW.

I think he was just doing everything he could do to try to stop...

I am sure it all happened in about 5 seconds so he didnt have too much time to even think about it.

So what happened to the jackhole that cut him off?

Damn, that REALLY SUX!!!

He didnt even stop. he had to have heard the screeching tires and seen Mike flip off the road too. Mike said that he locked eyes with the guy right before the guy pulled out-- so the dud definatley saw him, but didnt even stop.

The bad thing is, if Patrick hadn't of gone back to look for Mike, No one would have found him for a few day probably. The ravine was at a funny angle and was pretty deep.

So the douchebag just left!?!?!

very ****ty to hear about another mx-3 going down, I am very glad to hear that Mike is ok. What an *** to leave man thats not kewl at all. Mike is lucky someone went back looking for him

i would hunt the mofo down! i chased after someone who through a soda at my car! i would be out the next day lookin for him haha. Good luck mike good to hear ur ok

Perry you scared me I though it was your car when I read the title. But sorry to hear that Mike hope everything else is ok.

I believe in some states the guy who cut him off could be charged with not helping in a life threatening situation. Might want to check that out, and then if you can get him thrown in jail for it, I'd stalk the area where the accident happened, and wait for the guy to pass again and get his plates and info. If there is no law against ignoring a major accident, then I'd just track him town and beat his *** with a crowbar.

sorry to hijack but
992mmx3 I PMed you

If they locked eyes i hope that he should be able to remember the car...man, he almost saved it too

nobody got his plates #???

sorry to hear about the crash guys, good to hear everyone is ok, i hate stupid drivers who do stuff like that and dont even stop what an *** !
