I know I was invincible when I was 18, I wrecked the heck out of my mom's brand new mazda 626 on the way to a girl's house one weekend when my parents were away. I had no reason to go the fast, traffic was light and when the person in front of me changed lanes suddenly - with my inexperience and speed I am lucky to be alive.

I rolled it 5 1/2 times crossed 4 or 5 lanes of traffic (the 60 freeway near between Riverside and Ontario) and only hit one other car. Of course my mom's car was totaled, I broke a tail light on the other car and I came out without a scratch. The CHP that ended up working the scene was my neighbor and he gave me a ride home. Man did that ever suck...

Later in the day I jumped in my old truck and drove over anyway. Figured myself for a dead man when my parents came home for the weekend (and I was correct as I am now a zombie).

The speed was dumb, today I drive like an old man generally.
