Im def glad your alright. I think you were coherent for the accident but dont remember because of the impact..... (this is usually common in serious accidents).
But there might be more to this then your telling us for fear of insurance finding out

Glad youre ok too. That car took a beating.
I also think there is more to the story, only because ive been there. Had too many close calls myself doing things I shouldnt have been doing.

Did anyone really read this post before replying with condolences?? Let’s dissect shall we? (First telltale, his screen name starts with “Ballistic”) Carefully read his post (in black) with my notes (in italics) for emphasis: “Was driving back from the beach last Wednesday (night, after having a few pops at the bar) when I lost control on a corner (because I was showing off.) Must have hit a wet patch and the rear-end came loose (because my entry speed was too fast and I lifted, or I got on the boost in the corner; likely because I was driving either slightly or completely impaired…see his following statement ->) Lost consciousness before impact and don't remember anything. (HOW DOES ONE LOOSE CONSCIOUSNESS BEFORE IMPACT???) Was told I smacked into another car and then skidded off the road. (…WAS “TOLD”??? by the other person in the car? Or, the people he was racing home? Or, the people he was showing of for??) Other people were not hurt. (Thank God! And thank god he only passed out BEFORE he hit anything!) I suffered a nice gash around the eye which required 10 stitches and a lacerated kidney. Was put in the ICU for 3 days until I stopped peeing blood. Body is bruised but i'm doing alright. (+1 and amazed the 20 year old airbags deployed and saved his *** from worse damage). Really loved this car... put a smile on my face every time I went out for a spin. (heh, heh…he said “spin”)
I’m glad no one else was hurt period. I can’t believe everyone on the list is offering condolences to this guy given his own statements!! He’s lucky to be alive and lucky he didn’t kill himself or others. The photos speak volumes…he was traveling fast when he hit if you look at the damage. Textbook example of an inexperienced driver behind the wheel of car he doesn’t know how to drive endangering himself and all around him. He should be ashamed and his story is BS. I do not know ANY 944 driver who has lost control because he hit a “wet patch.” I have NEVER heard of anyone who “lost consciousness before impact” who wasn’t drunk, high or both; unless they had a friggin heart attack! “Ballistic” what really happened?? I for one am glad you are off the road. (Sorry about the car though, looks like it was really nice. I know that sucks.) If you get back in a 951 you better learn how to drive it and do some DE for sure. Someone should send this to his mom so she will know that her kid trashed a perfectly good car and that it wasn't because of a "wet patch."
Glad your not dead kid, but you need a dose of reality. I call BS on your story.

Only from my, "past testosterone filled life" did I see similar admittance of foolishness here. I'm sure many here have come close to, or have made mistakes like this and got to walk away. I agree, yes. He's certainly lucky. Lucky not for just his life, but for anyone else. Had someone else (Passenger certainly would have died) been killed by this "mistake", he would've been walking straight from the ICU to the Jailhouse for 5-50yrs for involuntary manslaughter; Like the guy who killed my friends mother under the same circumstances.
So yes, he is lucky.. Very lucky for more reasons than one.

Yeah I definitely felt like there was more to the story, but I dont think it's important really.
The only difference between doing something stupid, and doing something horrible (like killing someone) is random chance to be honest. Many times I'm sure a lot of us have done something stupid that only ended up in a spun car stopped in the opposite lane or what not that could have easily ended up in an accident had their been a car in the other lane.

A while back at the local track they had open track days between Xmas and news years. Problem is the weather isnt so warm and there was some snow around but the track was clear. There was a section of the track where there was some water across the track (small area) from snow melt on the side of the track. The cold weather (i.e. tires not really sticky) and a little water I spun my 951 out hitting the water patch. So what I am saying, is hitting a water can cause a car to loose control.
That said, I was on a track when this happened and I wasn't driving slowly. Generally, when driving at legal speeds on the road spinning out because of water doesnt happen. Regardless, the state I live in is that if the roads are that bad (lets think snow) there is an artificial speed limit that is not written that is "driving faster than conditions allow". This is a police officers call. If there is water and that caused the wreck, I am sorry, he was driving too fast for conditions.
This wreck looks serious. I am sure that excessive speed was involved. Look at the amount of damage to the car. This wasn't a 35mph.
Lets ask it bluntly. What was the speed limit on the road you were driving on and about how fast were you going when this occured? You know if you were doing 30, 60, or 90mph. Exact speed doesnt matter. If you were driving legally you will have no issue telling us your speed. If you don't (and your insurance or law enforcement is looking) saying nothing tells them alot.
You want our sympathies, tell us what happened leading up to the wreck.
And if you were being a stoopid azz, glad you didnt kill or hurt someone else.

It is very common to lose a few seconds of memories before getting knocked out, so there is nothing strange or sinister about the driver not knowing exactly what happened.
