Surprisingly, I am alive.


Recommended Posts

I know everyone else has said it, but we all saw it comming after reading many of your posts about driving. That said though, I'm very glad you got out fine and learned a valuable lesson. Remember that a majority of driving relies on experience. After driving for a while you encounter some pretty hairy situations that if you survive, help you in the future. It's also sad to see another BMW totaled in the same week.

Best of luck with everything man, hope all is well!

if he doesn't take note and learn something....the next 'video' might be something he won't personally be able to save....glad you didn't get hurt..take it as a 'sign' from your higher power.

Dude, it took a major crash for me to back down from my "Look, I can handle my car at speed - trust me" stance. Glad you got out ok, but hope you will back off from the stance and realise that ANYONE can have an accident at any time - and so adding speed is not a great idea.

By the way, for a few months after my major accident, I honestly, 100% totally swore I was invincible - the accident was THAT bad, my injuries were horrible, yet I left A&E, sorted myself out cos they were taking ages, didn't get the correct medical help, and felt fine cos I survived. I thought I was totally indestructable.

Now later in life, those un-fixed injuries are haunting me. Get the right attention - even if just a jarred neck!

I hope you've learned your lesson.
I have.

good for you. Currently i'm trying to teach my brother the samething. He took out his airbag, customized his car to the point where I would never drive the thing. Why would you replace the steering wheel, for a smaller one without an airbag?

Just days ago you where telling us that "at least he was not babying the M5" from the 18yo who killed himself and 3 others.

Now it's your turn. I remember telling that you would be next in an accident. Guess I was right. Glad to see that you've learned and that you're not hurt.

Hope you had insurance and can get a new car soon. Drive safely now, or if you must speed, do it at a "safer" place like a legal race track.

Well, if a car keeps me protected at that high of a speed and impact, I'd buy another one. Weird as it sounds, I'd feel like it really did its job at keeping me protected.

Man, I'm glad that you weren't seriously injured because they looked like they were taking their sweet-ass time getting everything done. Yes, before anyone says how dumb that comment was, I do realize that they have to be careful getting you out and making sure they don't kill you by moving your neck, etc. But then the paramedics start talking to the camera, etc. Just different from the news I watch (when I watch it) They'd be out of their as quickly as possible to get you to a hospital, not stopping to talk with reporters. It's like your life was on display. That's kinda bull**** if you ask me.

I know it sounds kinda morbid, but I'm kinda hanging out for detailed pics of the car. It looked very much totaled from the video! Where on the car did the impact actually take place?

It isn't morbid. I'll post them as soon as I get a hold of them.

There are still people calling my family giving their condolences because they think I died.

With as many posts as the next top three posters, it seems that Huezo is either very proud of this wreck, or just likes attention.

I just hope that there at least has been a lesson learned here.

Dude... he is replying to other posts... I don't see where you want to go with that.

By the way, where the heck are you getting a chart like this?

On the forum page (Neobahn, in this case), click on the post count number.

My post was an observation that Huezo seems more interested in mirroring the video to get all the views he can, rather than learning a lesson.

But I may be wrong. This may have truly and profoundly changed the kid.

(and yes, I realize that my posting replies to your post has thrown off the original observation. Heisenberg was right, observing things does change it)

hope you get your money from that other dude.

i used to be very enthusiastic about speeding, but later i realised that you're really less likely to survive if you crash at these, for example, 140km/h rather than 90km/h. 90km/h is quite likely to kill you too, but at least you get more chance to brake the car. and physics apply to eveyone, no matter how insane driving skillz you have.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
