Quoted from LTG:When you are young, you think you are immortal.
Dying doesn't enter into the thinking.
LTG : )
Yup.
Totalled my dad's pickup driving way too fast, back in the stone age when I was 16. Seriously hurt myself and the guy who was riding with me. I felt terrible that my friend the passenger was hurt. Fortunately we both recovered fully and no one else was involved, but that could have ended very badly.
Taught me a pretty serious lesson.
