Crash
I was in this beast when this happened. I was in the passenger seat up front. We hit the gravel at the side of the road in Chemainus, BC. on Vancouver Island way back in 1992. We skidded into the ditch. Broke a power pole with the center of the hood area. A tree broke the car on the passenger side headlight. Spun us around and flipped us upside down. I don't remember much between the skidding part and the crawling out of the upside down car part. But the driver got 52 stitches and I got a slight scrape on the side of my head. There was a third in the back seat, unharmed. Not a one of us were wearing a seat belt. I figure I used up my accident luck that day and have never forgotten my seat belt again. I also lost a pair of glasses and a cassette tape of John Mellencamps "Uh Huh". Yes, that's my friends blood on the roof.
