Another SRT4 bites the dust

thursday around 2pm, I was test driving my soon to be new 04 srt-4 from a local dealership.I switched places with the salesmen to return to the lot. The salesmen was behind the wheel driving down Earliesville Rd. He was going way too fast and lost control, going through a fence then rolling the car 4 times. The result..A few stiches in his face and some cut and brusies. Me on the other hand wasnt so lucky. The fence rail went though the front windshield, hit me in the face, pealing my face from the nose to my ear away from my scull. I lost so much blood in the car before I was pulled out, I almost died on the scene. After 3 days in the hospital, 2 plastic surguries, and masive nerve grafting I am home tonight. I look like the freekin eliphant man.My family and I ask to pray for us, as My recovery is FAR from over. Here are the pics.. some are graffic.

jesus christ.... i don't know which he should do first, sue or beat down the sales guy! i hate frivolous lawsuits, and lawsuits in general, but this guy deserves to extract some serious green from both the sales guy, and the dealer who let the idiot behind the wheel with a passenger.

He is really lucky for surviving that, 2 inches to the left and he would have died right then and there. A family friend died just like that after he ran head on at 90mph into a fence and a fence post went all the way through his head I agree though with dropkick that I too hate frivolous lawsuits but this guy deserves some money for that.

Wow, I wish for a good recovery for you. That salesperson must feel guilty as sin (I hope so anyways). Best of luck.
