This reminded me of when a 60 year old female English Professor rambled on for 30 minutes about how she had a near-death experience in which she saw bright headlights driving dow the road with her mom and she got scared and drove off the road. Her car swerved out of control and she ended up at the opposite side of the road going the other way and "was completely fine but wow, near-death experience XD." I wanted to kill myself in that moment and had an epiphany that "wow" some people are completely oblivious to death and have never been through anything in their entire lives, but their somehow minimal perspective tells them that they're masters of it. I mean "wow" she read so many literature books about the human experience "wow" she's also almost about to actually die from old age. But is completely clueless, like a babby.

sorry, pretty late response but pretty bad. bumper was wrecked, the front left tire basically came off the rim and bent the rim. the axle got slightly bent

the sign was still up :(

it was the first rain after like 8+ months of a dryspell, going downhill, and driving at night which i suck at. was pretty much a recipe for disaster and the good thing was no one was around. hydroplaning is scary as poo poo, like i knew exactly what was happening and was powerless to stop it like in slow motion.

dat adrenaline, but it's not a near death experience

you can feel the slow-mo effect hitting a baseball if you're good at it
