dude glad u are okay as well as your ride...back in 88 when i was 19 i wasn't so fortunate....i had worked a full day (it was friday)...got off work paid my car note on my 5 months owned rabbit gti (my pride n joy) and later that nite went out partying with friends....being young and dumb i didn't know when to bring my ass home and was on the road at 4am sat. morning...having been up since 630 am the morning before....

anyway i fell asleep at the wheel and woke up to a big thud...hoped i was dreaming but realized i wasn't once i looked around and realized i was still in the car...my crumpled hood was all i could see out the windshield...i had to force the drivers door open to get out and then i saw what i'd done.....totalled my rabbit hitting the back end of a 73 mustang totalling that as well....really bad scene...2 totalled cars had to pay for the mustang since i didn't have coverage plus other ****...and yes i was dwi so that was a whole mess unto itself....i think the biggest factor though was that i was awake for 22hrs before the crash

fast forward several months later and im now in my gti 16 coming from mexico with friends...5am and everyone falls asleep including my buddy who was specifically spose to stay awake with me....long story short at one point i felt my car hit the lane bumps and it scared me to death ...apparently i had started drifting off again (not drunk this time at least)...from that point for the rest of the drive i was bright eyed and bushy tailed
