Very sad day.
I was at the local race track racing the car and I had just left. On the way home I was merging from the right lane that was coming to an end into the single lane when a Neon(SX2.0) sideswiped the left rear of my car and sent me flying onto the oncoming traffic lane into a head on collision with another car which than I continued to flip about 6 times in the car. I had my eyes open the entire time. I opened my eyes, to see that I was still alive and I had hopped out the window and prayed to the Mercedes gods that they built and INSANE strong car. The cars damage is intesnse. You could imagine a head on collision than a flip of six times the car does not look pretty. The car is as good as written off. I'm just sore, but VERY dissapointed that the rare car is gone. My dad was in love with the car and we probably would never have sold it.
As I was coming up to the Neon I noticed that he had started to accelerate a bit after the light had turned green, but not enough to be completely behind me. My friends who were riding behind me in a Camaro saw the whole thing and it looked as if the Neon sideswiped me as a "scare" for me to not pass them.
2 teenagers were in the Neon and the Neon ended up in the ditch. Luckily no serious injuries were done. I think I came out of it the best and had the worst part of the accident.
I was also very happy with the car too becasue earlier that day I was pulling closer and closer to the 1/4 mile time that car made whe nbrand new. I had pulled a 15.1@92 MPH with the Tranny slipping even more these roudns than the last week when I had pulled the 15.6@90.

One wheel was completely ripped from the car. The car was rolling from the right passenger front headlight corner to the left drivers side rear tail light. The insurance company is probably going to keep the car and everything with ti and issue me money on how much they think the car is worth.

It always hurts me to see even other people's precious cars go in ruins. I am sorry about the result of the accident. Press charges on those teens for sure.
Good thing you're alive. Good luck.
