first he said "I had a seat belt on, but thank god it snapped at just the right time. I ended up ejected from the car, passed out for 20 minutes" then "BTW, the car lit on fire shortly after rescue got me out... Life goes on God bless!"

To simulate something like this you have to take braking out of equation over 100+ mph... I saved those pics to remind myself how easy your life can change by driving irresponsibly.
Glad you are ok and nobody got killed.

glad you ok
cars can be fixed/replaced but your body is what counts
and people need to stop telling him about "lesson you learned" and all that bs, i'm sure he knows himself best, he doesn't need you to be his mother

Glad to see you got a second chance!!
I was in a very serious Motorcycle accident a year and a half ago, I was going straight through a green light when an 83 year old woman passed a red I T-boned her with my bike and flew 30m and landed on the opposing traffic side...If I was on anything else but a Bimmer bike I would have been crushed..Germans are great at safety.
I was in a comma for two days and in the hospital for two weeks...
I have to tell you coming that close to the light and then getting a second chance really changes you...
Best of Luck!

I'm quite certain these pics would've made it to this forum before anyone could make up a story to go with it.

Glad you are alive and safe. I am sorry if I sound harsh and if I am the only one to say this but you are a fooking moron to be driving a 350hp, rear wheel drive, high performance automobile, around a corner, in icy conditions, at 100 MPH. 
Glad to see that you man up to your mistakes and that you learned your lesson as you stated. Rest up, reflect, and have a speedy recovery.

I was thinking the same thing.
If it's real thank God he's alive and if it not i hope you take the lesson to heart. I see nothing wrong with going that fast or faster its normal driving here in Germany but only if road and weather allows for it.

Thank you all for the kind words. I had a set of run flat snow tires on the car, they where not summer tires. I definatly learned my lesson from this one.
To the BS callers, I understand where your comming from and respect the idea that it's impossible that I'd be alive. I am living in some serious pain and fighting through this but I can't prove it unless you met me.
On a side note I had a $4K Rolex on which some how vanished...

Looking at the pictures, they do not look like any snow tires that I know of. The tread pattern looks more like a performance all season tire if that, but it is no winter ice radial. They look alot like my Michelin Pilot Primacy that is on my summer rims. In the photo here is not enough sips or larger grooves to make it a winter tire, the tread pattern is too blocky

Get well soon!
Very glad to see you survived that!
The condition of the car is just insane, the did not even bother to set it down the right way...
Check out a Breitling before you get a new watch, not so many people know that its a expensive watch, but many professionals think they hold better quality. And I think they look great
Especially the Aerospace!
Hope you recover 100%
