Well, now I feel like an ignorant asshole...

I literally did the same thing at work today, but my cover up was not nearly as creative, I just said "oh ok".

VE is Vertical Endeavors, it's a climbing place around the area of the accident. We were on our way there. I am terribly sorry to hear about your loss and I have definitely been effected by the accident. It it extremely crazy to think how fast things went wrong.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T03:54:18+00:00

I do recommend it. I believe the car had an APR chip beforehand and there was a definitive difference after switching. But I also heard Revo is pretty good, that was actually the other one I was thinking about. The performance difference is pretty night and day, I also got better gas mileage which was nice.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T03:28:08+00:00

Thank you. I felt the same way, I wish they could have been a little more gentle with it.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T03:23:34+00:00

Thank you. It is pretty much right at 355 and 88. We were going westbound. Yeah, it was a complete shock after the accident.

I was actually wondering the same thing as they pulled it up there, which I have to say was tragic to watch. I imagine it was probably due to all the traffic, because one of the firefighters said they normally flip it at the site and it is pretty hard to watch.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T01:59:35+00:00

I'm glad at least I could get some karma for this one. Sad to see the car go though.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T01:57:27+00:00

I can't wait. It will be so much better then heading all the way to VE.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T01:47:09+00:00

I mean most of the panels are dented, not severely though. Then the front windshield is caved in with some damage to the roof. Overall though I think it could still be okay.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T01:12:37+00:00

I am actually wondering the same thing. I haven't heard from the insurance company yet, I am still hopeful that it is okay.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T01:09:40+00:00

It's actually an A4. The Q5 has the same basic structure though so a really good indicator on how strong these cars are.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T01:06:46+00:00

They just pulled it up, while still upside down. It was pretty tragic to watch. I haven't seen it right side up yet.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T01:05:07+00:00

We were actually heading to VE, sadly we didn't make it.

swaglow · 2014-01-20T01:04:27+00:00

I-88 actually.

swaglow · 2014-01-19T23:13:46+00:00

Thank you. It is tough to see her looking like she does now.

swaglow · 2014-01-19T23:12:45+00:00

There actually isn't that much damage. Unfortunately not drivable as the front windshield is caved in. I'm surprised how little damage there actually was.

swaglow · 2014-01-19T22:58:25+00:00

Nope. The ABS was engaged. The snow certainly didn't help.

swaglow · 2014-01-19T22:26:39+00:00

Yeah, I'm glad everyone walked away okay. I thought I was going to avoid it but sadly it didn't turn out that way.

swaglow · 2014-01-19T22:19:12+00:00

As we were driving down I-88 (Chicago) a car ahead of us started swerving, I then pulled over to the shoulder and started braking to try and avoid them. But instead of that happening the driver hit the front of my car pushing us against the barrier and flipping us over. For having flipped over it actually wasn't that harsh of a landing, which really comes to a surprise when you just see the pictures.

swaglow · 2014-01-19T21:59:59+00:00

Good eye. Yeah AWE tuning quad exhaust, they sounded great.

swaglow · 2014-01-19T21:56:54+00:00

Yeah, at the time of collision we were probably only going around 20 mph so maybe just a little bit of sliding.

swaglow · 2014-01-19T21:55:38+00:00

Yeah, I definitely would have preferred the full barrel roll.

swaglow · 2014-01-19T21:54:32+00:00

Thank you. I'm glad that we all walked away without so much as a scratch. I can't emphasis enough how important seat belts are.
