Sorry to eevryone who ive sold parts to for such the long wait but heres why.....

Ok so about 2 weeks ago me and a friend of mine were heading down a back road by my house. The intersection we were coming upon is known for accidents on a regular basis because its a blind corner because west/east trafic does not have to stop but north/south traffic does and the corners north/south are blind because of the tree lines. So in order to see past the trees you have to stick half your car out into the intersection to see if anyone is coming. Well i was doing about 60 in my friends 92 chevy caviler when a 65 year old lady with mutliple scurosis? didnt see the stop sign in time but happened to stop in the middle of the intersection as im less then 50ft from her. So i had 3 choices: 1. hit a tree and kill us both (me and my friend) 2. Go straight through a house on the corner, or 3. HIT HER!!!. So thats all i could do because my that time there was no time to stop. We hit her on the passenger side front fender and we went airborne. I suffered a broken femur, 5 broken ribs, 1 broken hand, needed 3 steel rods in my ankle, dislocated disc in my back and bruised lungs. oh and i cant forget the whiplash. I was flown by helicopter to the hospital where i was put into surgry. So im sorry that it took so long to get the timing chain and all the other parts out but i was in no condition to get to the post office anytime soon. Then come to find out my dad didnt pay the phone/internet bill so i had no way of contacting anyone about their parts. Heres some pics, sorry about the size. But im home now recovering and should be back to normal in the next month of 2 after some good physical therapy. Time to sue her *** because she told the cops it was our fault. My buddy justin is in much better condition that i am and im just glad were ok and i wasnt driving my car. Ill get more pics up as soon as i get them off the camera. Oh and THANK GOD FOR DRUGS HAHAHA!!! NO PAIN!

Sorry to hear about your wreck.

But, if you knew ahead of time it was bad intersection, why were you speeding, instead of slowing down, since you knew the intersection was prone to accidents?

I know, I probably come off as bad or uncaring. Not the case. I'm just wondering why you didn't slow down, just in case.

The intersection looked clear but she pretty much ran the stop sign rite in front of use as we were getting to it. You can normally see people coming up to the sign in most cases but this time she was just going too fast.
