Another civic bites the dust

So tonight, around 11:45, I was coming home and goin down this country road. I dont remember what happened, but i woke up and my car was about 20 feet in the woods, facing the road on the opposite side, and it was really messed up. No windows, no front end, I dont remember any of it happening, but I guess I climbed out of the window and I managed to call my rents. When the cop came, he said (after markiong off the skid mars and everything) that I was going about 65, ran off the road, over-compensated, and skidded 120ft, until i hit a tree and stopped. The cop and my dad said that I am extremely lucky to be alive. Luckily the side-airbags went off, which is prob waht saved me. On the bright side though, I didn't get a ticket and maybe I can get a 5-spd now =) But sadly, another 7th gen is gone.

i would, but since both door and the frame around them are all twisted, it would be hard to get anything off of them

Yea I had a mild concusion but that's it. I have(well, had )a 01', and side airbags were an option. They def. saved me from major injury. I wasn't drunk or high, and I don't think I fell asleep, but who knows.
