I was on a Police chase because i borrowed someone's car. They put a spike strip down and blew out all four of my tires. Made me mad so i kept going. Then they did that stupid pit maneuver and hit the car three times. Spun me around and gave me a headache. Finally after the flames coming off the rims caught the car on fire i stopped. They had as many as ten police officers help me out of the car. I didn't mind because it wasn't my car but they were a little rough with me.

I was hit by a car when I was 9. Got 32 stitches in my forehead, bruises and scrapes.
No it wasn't my fault, I was in a school crosswalk. |

I've lost count how many wrecks I've been in. Most have left me injured and out of all of them only one minor one was ever my fault. I swear to god the next time some idiot runs into me I'm going to lose my shit on them. I'm tired of everybody else's mistakes.

Many. Several with my parents----1968, 1970, 1975 (passenger)....and then me on motorcycles, 1976 (passenger), 1977 (3 times....one a rear-end at a red light) 1980 (car, me driving),1981, me in car as passenger, 1998--car, 2000--me on motorcycle, rear ended by truck at stop, 2016, me in car, rear-ended at stop light.
These were all major hits resulting in injury and damaged/totaled vehicles. Have been in countless fender benders over the years getting hit in parking lots, rear-ended on the street, etc. that resulted in little or no damage or injury. My motorcycles have been on non=op for the past 3-4 years due to cell phones. I have been hit hard twice at stop lights on them and it's no fun. |

I put a car in the ditch to avoid an accident once. Unfortunately the other driver also decided the ditch was a safe place to be. Rolled my moms Caprice over onto the roof. Felt no impact, only damage was a bent pillar. Insurance company totaled the car... And I got the ticket.

Let's see...
95mph into a tire wall. We bent the frame back straight using 2 F-350's Launched all four wheels off the ground on a side swipe (got video somewhere) T-boned at about 70mph. Many little ones. The only one off the track was some stupid biatch that didn't maintain lane on dual lane right hand turn and bumpered my passenger rear door. |

Channel 7 was the best coverage. I was in a group that would get a text every time a chase would come on TV. Most times, a number of us would be able to watch and give commentary via a chat. LA was typically having a real good one about once a week until the pandemic knocked it down some. Pretty sure they're back to their old antics by now.

One serious wreck in al the years. A Toyota Camry made an illegal left turn in front of me. I hit the right rear quarter at about 40 MPH in the Jeep Trackhawk. Caught the Hawk on the front right corner. The intersection was on the curve of the road I was on so caught the car at an angle. Twisted the front of the Hawk 3 inches. Insurance was up to $50K in repairs when they finally were convinced to total it. Every air bag but one went off in the Hawk. It was sickening to see the vehicle mangled, probably the best built and running vehicle I've had.
Their insurance tried to put the blame to me, until they saw the dash cam video. Funny how the story changes so quickly. |
