I went to Mississippi State - graduated in '97. On what road did you have the wreck? Hwy 25 or 45? I know Hwy 25 VERY well. It can be dangerous in some spots (mostly 2 lane through BFE).
Good luck with everything.

Thats a bummer man. But honestly, 3 totaled cars? You need to take some driving classes or something.

agreed. 3 totals in in tours and your alive. thats sounds like a good deal to me. if your insurance goes up i think its gonna be w/ any car u get. u getting into 3 totals is what will increase your rates, not 3 totaled tours. at least that makes sense to me.

OK first off to the guy who said i need driving classes, well..if you had read, yes i have had 3 cars totalled in a year, the first was my fault...i flipped it on a dirt road..., the second car i had for right at 11 months before it was hit PARKED in front of my house..
and then this weekend the right front tire blewout in the rain, theres not much you can but try to adjust the wheel and pray.
driving classes will not help anything,I just have had very tough luck with cars in the past year.
I dont know what im going to do now, but something will work out for me i know...
Thanks to everyone for the support...
and to the guy who asked..the accident happened on I-59 near picyuane,ms..
My first car (flipped)that happened at college at EMCC in scooba (off hwy45)

Just curious but what kind of regular tire maintenance did you perform on your tires? Did you check the pressure once a week, a month, a year or never? Also what was the age if the tire that blew? How many miles did you have on the blown tire? Lastly how much tread did you have left on the blown tire?

Read the post again. He owned the car for one week. For all we know, the tire was going to be checked this week or something. I drove on bald tires my first week of owning the Probe before getting new tires (mail-ordered).

I'm glad to see you are OK... a serious accident is always a horrible experience, but the bad effects will pass with time.
Look at it this way - they say everyone gets in two (IIRC) bad accidents in their lifetime. You have gotten them out-of-the-way relatively unscathed!
