    I've been very lucky, I guess. One accident, when I was 16 years old
-That is lucky, but you're probably just a better driver than me.

I got in to a car accident the first week I had my license. I was showing off for a friend and ran a stop sign. My 8 year old sister was in the back seat. We were clipped on the drivers side fender by a car going about 50mph. My car did several full spin arounds and when we finally stopped all I remember hearing is my sister crying. I turned around and she looked fine but was crying hard. I asked her if she was alright and through her tears all she said was, "dad is ga-ga-gonna kill you".

Thankfully, she was fine.
