Default Neon is no more...for now

Yeah had a little accident. Quite amazing actually. Flipped a couple times, front end and axels/wheels are shot most likely. The car was still running when it was done flipping so idk...the radiator was leaking I think....some sort of fluid anyways didnt know what it was. But anyhoo since the car runs I am pretty sure that it is fixable just needs some work. Not too sure what all else is wrong. Gonna get towed on monday, pics coming tomorrow.

Good to hear you are alright. Cars are easier to fix and replace than people.

Yeah everyone was just fine even the people in the back who didnt have their seatbelts on at the time. Its always been a weird corner for me...so I kinda knew I was gonna crash there before I ever crashed.

The story is thus. I was going around a corner at around 60 slowed to about 50 cuz I forgot how sharp it was until I gotto the gravel was goin bout 50 at gravel overcorrected into an embankment(think I was pretty much slowed to a stop by the embankment) my front end tipped forward and shot me right, into a corkscrew cartwheel. Flipped like twice or 3 times ended up pointing the opposite direction I was going.

I actually meant cartwheeled. It was intense. Hit front right then back right, right behind passenger door.
