While exiting the 10 freeway west bound Lincoln Blvd exit in the number 1 Lane taxi cab in the number 2 lane proceeded to accelerate and switch lanes in front of me at the peak of an opposite banking uphill slight left, at which point I slammed on my brakes so hard that I lost traction and initiated a slide with my front bumper aiming for the curb and my wheel turned all the way to the right, in an attempt to correct the slide I floored it hoping to shift the rear end another direction due to the fact the pavement sucks my car continued traveling towards the curb where the initial impact happened from that point my car proceed on the curb like it was on a rail heading for the two poles in front of me the first of which my car disconnected from the cement and flipped over my car which is when my air bag went off still sliding I hit the second pole and the car stopped upon stopping I unbuckled my seat belt and exit the car with no problem, having noticed my glasses fell of my face I put them on and proceeded to make sure I was sound. Dusted my self off (laterally and if you know me well you know I'm not playing when I said I checked my shoes to make sure they were cool) I called my mother during this phone call the SM Peace officer blocked traffic and informed me he saw the whole thing. He made sure it was put in the report that it was not my fault. At this point in time my hand hurts a little my back a little sore and my shoulder too. I've already started the search for a 94,95 tt and I am going to look at 3 tomorrow as my father has informed me that he will in fact buy me another twin turbo no matter what happens. All in all I'm thankful to be alive and look back and laugh at the fact that my car own3d not one but 2 poles. No one was hurt in this accident (except my pride and joy and my ego) On to the pics for your view pleasure. I'm going out to precision z to look at it later this week so more detailed and better pics. Also forgot to mention my approximated speed at the time of impact was 60-65mph I'm convinced the Z is safe and wouldn't dream of driving anything else right now. The Police car on the right is where I hit the curb and proceed to slide down it.
