The one with the car in the water...
I must have been at the coast somewhere, but I was supposed to be going to work. I was driving my car, and although I wasn't going very fast, I couldnt seem to control the car very well. Either it was very rainy and icy or really slick, but as I was turning the corner the car skid and I wasn't able to control it. The road was right up to the waters edge and as I turned, I slid off the road and into the water. I knew it was coming so I tried not to panic and braced myself for the impact. My windows were up, so that gave me a bit more time to catch my breath and figure a way out. As the cabin was filling with water, i was trying to time my breaths so that I could hold it when the time came. I am not very good at holding my breath if I'm panicking, so I was focusing more on the people that were trying to get me out. The water was frigid and I could feel myself swallowing a lot of it and at one point I couldn't breath at all. Thomas had been sitting by the edge when I drove around the corner, and he went to get help. Justin was walking up after I hit the water and they both helped me get out. As I'm sitting on the curb, the only thing that was going through my mind was "Oh shit! Oh shit" over and over. We were all happy I wasn't hurt, and thankful the car didn't land in an area that was super deep. The car was completely submerged, but you could see it under the surface. I was pretty sad about my car, as it has been with me through many adventures. After we all calmed down a bit, we got back in the water to see if there was anything we could salvage. There wasn't much that wasn't destroyed, so we decided to take pictures on it instead. For Facebook..
