Before I get into the details of my car... just want to say thanks to ALL that have voted so nicely for my car.

Check out this link.... click here Sign up and make money for searches... search= $$ = MODS.... at least check it out........

Well I was going to have this stuff done on feb 26th but on Feb 19th...... My 30th birthday........READ ON FOR DETAILS

I'm heading east going 55mph and slow down for a lady walking her dog on the right.
There was a truck heading west with a snowmobile trailer(empty) and all of a sudden the trailer lifts off the ground ( tires about chest-head height) flies up to my left to the point I could see the deck of it above the pssngr back of the truck and then it swings back right in front of me....
I swerve onto the shoulder but it hits me at an impact speed of about 110mph if not faster and smashes into my front left spinning my ass end to the right and I do a 180 onto the side of the road REALLY close to the lady walking her dog!!! She and I are two very lucky people!!!!!
I think that the pin in front of trailer came out or was never put in and it lifted up causing it to catch like a kite....
