Too bad; it was a really nice car!
We were pretty much uninjured except for back problems that continue to today but what really pissed us off was that we broke the damned plane!
It seems someone has their priorities mixed up.
The car and airplane are just objects.
You are fortunate to even be alive.
Did you learn anything at all from your experiences?
Peoples lives are more important than those objects.
Yes I learned the following things:
(1) Do not fall asleep while driving. Falling asleep at the wheel can cause things to happen which hurt.
(2) I learned the truth behind the First Law of The Air:
"Maintain Thy airspeed lest the ground reach up and smite Thee in the ass!"
Not picking on you but from the tenor of your post I would assume that:
(1) You have never flown on anything but a commerical airliner, much less been at the stick.
(2) You have no empathy or understanding of automobiles. Not that it really has anything to do with anything but my personal highest provable recorded speed is 196.5 MPH (316.23 Km/Hr) in a Plymouth Superbird and I have never felt so fucking ALIVE as I did as I watched the broken white stripes turn into a single white line as I did on that day. You know, I think there was another 20-30 MPH in the car but I ran out of room.
A buddy has a 'bird and one day we might just find out.................................
The 'bird is the Ultimate Word:
