I guess I learned my lesson--don't joke about 666. While turning onto Hillsdale after getting off 101 in San Mateo I got hit by a Subaru Forrester going about 30-35 mph through a red light. Had I been one second quicker I would have gotten nailed on the driver's door instead of at the hinge, and would likely be at Stanford hospital instead of at home with a bruised foot, hand, and neck. Funny how you think of all the things leading up to that moment, had you done something differently it would have never happened. Had I gotten in the other lane behind someone else, or if I stayed at McDonald's a couple seconds more. Or if Apple's new MacBook Pro drove a 30" monitor out of the box and I didn't have to stop at the mall for an adapter. Or if I didn't have to go into work on a Sunday

I'm pretty sure it'll get totalled judging from the amount of damage to the wheel, clam, and door. I'm so sad at losing my little car I want to cry--I've never been so happy with a car before. I can't wait to have all of the insurance settled so I can fill my empty garage with another Elise.

Sorry to see that... I'm glad you're ok though.

 

[Green Ghost]

Glad you are OK.
Vary sad about the car.

 

[luxige]

Ach! That's a sorry sight.

Great to hear that you're okay.

 

[fishguy]

glad you are ok, the car is easy to replace.

 

[Noisycow]

Wow! I would have given 99% odds you were kidding on the other thread. You dodged death. It could have been a giant SUV. When you drive an eggshell and get that hard - and have minor injuries - count your lucky stars. You are not 'unlucky'. You are alive and will have another sweet Elise soon for the summer! If I were you I'd be popping some champagne.

I swear how can some idiot run a red light like that. I hope that the car gets delt with quickly and a quick recovery.

 

[Aedo]

Like everyone else just glad you're OK - the car is replaceable!!

 

[carlover]

That's a creepy coincidence! Glad you're well :up:

 

[Seb]

Hooray for replacements! Lets hope he had good insurance.

Glad to hear you are okay.

 

[def]

Glad you're ok, I get off 101N to hillsdale daily! Time to celebrate a near miss...

 

[xceed]

dude.. wtf!?

that's a wicked coincidence! glad you're OK and cheated the devil - he was clearly gunning for your soul!

[...m...]

...my sympathies for your elise; glad to read that you came through well...

 

[VisualEchos]

Sorry to hear it man, and you're right, it has everything to do with numbers (odds), just nothing to do with sixes.

 

[RichS]

Glad to hear that you are O.K.

When Randy first posting in the other thread I thought it HAD to be a joke.

I 'like' any symmetrical numbers on my ODO too. 34567 happened just a bit ago for me.

 

[dbisbee]

Glad to hear you are OK. Glad I don't drive in Cali anymore. It did however build my belief that there is a power bigger than us. How else can we all be driving at 80mph at 6am just a couple feet apart and not have more accidents?

Sorry about the Elise! She will be missed.

 

[RichS]

How else can we all be driving at 80mph at 6am just a couple feet apart and not have more accidents?

The same way a flock of birds don't all crash into each other... Millions of years of evolution!

 

[Whitey#1]

dude.. wtf!?

he was clearly gunning for your soul!

anic:

the majority of people in this world dont realize just how true this really is, and the consequences are unfathomable.

and i am glad you were unhurt in the accident.

[SoCalLotusElise06]

Glad you're okay.

 

[BallerStatus08]

Wow, glad you're OK, must be terrible to see your ride in that condition. Lesson learned. Eating at Mc Donalds can kill you in more ways than previously thought. Is that your dog?(avatar) Glad he/she wasn't in the car.
