Riding along in my automobile Reply #12 – July 06, 2006, 09:18:28 PM Thanks man!Total n00b! Other than engaging the PTO in my Dads oil delivery truck when I was a kid 15 yrs and younger, I've never pushed in a clutch. I learned the theory of the manual shift back then but I never got a chance to try it for myself. I had my accident when I was 15. I had driven autos before the accident but I never got to drive a manual shift. Quote Selected

Riding along in my automobile Reply #14 – July 06, 2006, 09:58:05 PM Well, Long long ago, in a bay town far far away....It was the middle of December and around here that time of year the temp hovers around the freezing point. It had been raining, on and off, all day.That evening, about 8:00pm, me and 4 of my friends met at the little cabin we use to go drinking in.:nono:Underage drinking is a no-no:nono: :) We had no one to buy us any beer so we decide to hitch-hike to the games arcade about 5 miles away. I had a $ in my pocket - why the hell I was going to the games arcade, I don't know :(We started walking and about a mile in we got a ride with one of our friends in the back of his dodge ram pick-up. The five of us got in the pan since there were already three in the cab. Sometime after dark the temp slipped below 0*C and the wet roads, from the rain we had earlier, started to freeze. We were almost at the end of our journey, only a couple more turns in the winding road, when, while going around a turn, the rear of the truck started to slip out. Once the truck was side on in the road it suddenly got traction and started to tip up on it's driver side. I was thrown out of the pan and landed sat up on the road, back on to the tipping truck. I remember after landing on the road thinking that "I hope that truck don't tip any further" when, just like that, there was a loud bang as the truck came down across my back - T12-L1, if that means anything to you. No one else was seriously hurt. One guy had a bump on the head and one bruised his hip.I spent 7 months in the hospital undergoing rehab and today I'm paralized from the hips down. Although I can move my thighs a little. If you look close to the movie you can see my legs move a little. Now back to the compliments and patting me on the back for a job well done. Quote Selected
