Well, I decided that I would share a few things with you guys. First, here is my current vehicle in when I am traveling in Kuwait:  This is me with the Hope Diamond in Washington DC in March:  Another pic while in DC:  This WAS my Trailblazer:  It drove very well:  But then THIS happened: :-|  Another view:  I love seatbelts. As a note, the pic of the Speedometer was not on the same day as this accident and the date is wrong. Well, That is it for now. Just wanted to post some things about myself. Now you know who I am. Uh-Oh.

Well... THERE I WAS... minding my OWN business when this car CAREENED out of nowhere and CRASHED right into me. Well... OK... actually... I turned left in front of somone that was doing about 100 mph. It was a small car and it hit me directly on the rear passenger wheel. It was a Mitsubishi Galant and it is small so it went UNDER the SUV and threw me into a spin off the road. The sand caught my tires because I was sliding left and suddenly I rolled. :| I think it did a good job of keeping me safe. I didn't get a scratch until I was crawling out of the vehicle and cut my arm on the glass.

Trailblazers are so awesome .. My grandparents have one, and I actually rather enjoy driving it. It's so comfy. It looks really .. flat there. Is there really anything on the road while driving or is it a sea of sand forever?

Well basically... it is a sea of sand. I drive endlessly out here. Sometimes there are a lot of camels. Once... I topped a hill moving rather fast and CAMELS EVERYWHERE in the road. Good thing I know how to drive a bit. And yes I will tell you... i love the trailblazer. VERY comfortable to drive and more powerful than I thought. The ones I drive have 2 Wheel, All Wheel, 4 Wheel Hi, 4 Wheel Low. It also has a Vortec V6 that really surprised me.

Glad to hear you were okay from the crash, minus the glass incident.

Those things can go to 200 mph? What happened to the speed limiter? Was it removed?
Glad to see you are ok!!

Actually that is 200 KPH. I am in Kuwait at the moment. That equals to about 124 - 125mph.
