Is that your liquified kidney in that jar?

At least it wasn't worse.

 

Ouch, that's one helluva hematoma. Hope you're OK.

 

It was almost 2 liters of fluid from my spleen rupturing. I am great and as back to normal as possible. It was three years ago.... damn black ice

 

I thought a ruptured spleen = certain death...

Nope dosent look like it.

 

it does if you dont get treated fairly quickly. there is a large blood supply to the spleen, so if it ruptures you can internally exsanguinate, but if you get to a hospital quickly, you probably will not die. Actually my left full back in varsity soccer ruptured the oposing teams right mids spleen and they almost didnt diagnose it in time, but he lived. (slide tackle gone bad)

 

So anyway...

Molly is looking forward to her sticker BD!

 

My spleen was lacerated when I went in, due to hospital negligence it ruptured...

 

Can't say that I have turned turtle in my MINI. Haven't taken possession of it yet expecting to either this or next weekend. But years ago while in college, I drove a '65 E type Jag roadster and worked part time in a boiler burner factory. While there I took a moment to make myself a plastic control panel label that said "DO NOT INVERT" and stuck it to the center of the Jag's dashboard. It was inspired by something I had read while taking flying lessons. I am thinking very seriously of acquiring another for the same purpose and installing it in our MCSc when it arrives. Maybe it will help prevent joining your august ranks not that you don't sound like a fun bunch.

 

Several of us B.I.G. T.I.T.S. met over pizza the other day and, due to complaints from other MMMC members who aren't "eligible" but really want a sticker, we've decided to create a T.I.T.S. "support" group called A.R.S.E. (Anti-Rollover Support Enthusiasts). Guess I'm gonna have to design another sticker . Stay tuned for more discussion of T.I.T.S. and A.R.S.E.

 

The REAL question is... how did you turn turtle in your garage? That's mad skill, there! (Glad you're mended!)

Big Daddy, hats off to you for sticking around MOTD and providing a living warning about decisions we make that affect our safety. Truly "Big" of you!

Kudos, and plaudits.

 

Please understand that I did not post my comment with the intention of eliciting a T.I.T.S. sticker for our soon to arrive MCSc, that sort of behavior being impertinence at its worst. My intent was merely to share an anecdote which I thought might be amusing. However, a generous offer to show off an affiliation with other A.R.S.E.s should not be taken lightly.

 

No problem. I expect that the A.R.S.E. designation will elicit quite a few requests for stickers knowing some of the people around here. I may have to charge a small stipend to cover my costs depending on how many A.R.S.E.'s stand up to be counted.

 

DixonL2 I hit black ice on a backroad... I had too much aftermarket stuff to give it to the ins company so I had it towed to my garage and I parted it out

 

Understood, was just joshin' ya. Super glad you're on the mend though. Looks like that was one fun MX5 - they're great cars.

 

It was a great car, I was finishing it up for scca... I had just picked out the rollbar. Figures.

 

Thanks for the sticker, Big Daddy.

I got it in the mail a few weeks ago, but with finals coming up it got lost in the sea of paper on my desk. Having found it, I stuck it on my toolbox. I stick all those vendor and brand stickers they send when you order stuff on there.

 

Big Daddy, finally found what I've been looking for lo these many weeks. Installation required an elaborate ritual comprised mostly of a proper highland tipple, some ZZ Top road music, a steady hand and a gimlet eye. I may have gotten some of that out of order. It hasn't been road tested yet.

One question; how did this page get so stretched out?

 

I love it! I would gladly support B.I.G. T.I.T.S.

1 A.R.S.E. here, let me know "sticker" price ().

 

Ok, Well I guess I get in the club too right? Not that I am overly excited that I "turtled" a mini.... My friends always question me...











And it was replaced by....

 

Strong little bastards, aren't they? Never ceases to amaze me...

 

life is worth more than metal

 

That didn't look totaled...

 

shhhh now he has a supercharger!....I'm more interested in what he told the cop haha.

love the new mini my friend! Its a shame about the old one. but at least you didnt get hurt

 

Was there some 'zen and the art of MINI maintenance' involved? The MC knew that a MCS was going to come into your life and took the hard way out to make room?

'Nother question: How'd this page get scrunched back up to normal again?
