    I think very highly of you guys as an audience - and wouldn't expect this from you guys - but please refrain from any hateful comments directed toward the other party. Mistakes happen - and we are all thankful to have walked away from the crash. Losing the car is upsetting - but cars can be replaced.

  • @jamesdangercarpenter
    @jamesdangercarpenter Před rokem +9888

    Hey Adam, I don't know if you got this checked out already, but you should definitely get the ulnar collateral ligament in your thumb looked at. Where the bruising is and the probable mechanism of the injury (thumb pushed backwards as your hand got shoved into the steering wheel) looks a LOT like "skier's thumb". It won't show up on an x-ray! You will need an ultrasound.
    I did the same thing a few years ago falling off a motorbike and if that is what's happened YOU WILL NEED EMERGENCY SURGERY to re-attach the ligament within a week! If it gets left longer than that the probability of a successful recovery reduces dramatically. When it happened to me I got told at the ER and by a GP that the thumb was fine based on an x-ray, but I eventually got an ultrasound and they found the ligament was fully ruptured; I had emergency surgery 2 days later, and thankfully recovered fully. Your injury looks identical to mine.
    Please please please get it checked out, because if the ligament is ruptured and doesn't get repaired it can be a really debilitating injury... You essentially can't ever "grip" between your thumb and fingers again.

In the height of the moment, just after the crash, with a hurt thumb, a shaken girlfriend, content to worry about, and a huge crowd of people, his response is, "I understand why she would make that (crossing the double yellow) mistake." 13:11-13:13 is real human Adam. No content, just pure and raw and I respect that more than almost anything you have done Adam. Since watching you in the BMX days in middle school to now, this journey has been unreal.

      I will NEVER agree with the "car can be replaced", there are some cars that can never be replaced, when you pour sweat, blood and tears in a car and something bad happens to it you will never replace it, doesn't matter if you get another one similar, it will never be the same, gladly, this GT3 is one of those that can be replaced because it's still in production.

But I just wanted to let the people know that what you said is 1000% true about doing everything right and being as safe as possible but something can go wrong and there is nothing you can do. He crashed on a motorcycle about 3 months ago, someone made a left in front of him and he died on impact. He was an experienced rider and a safe and cautious person, shit was literally just supposed to be a quick ride around the block. There’s really no one to blame specifically here, it really sucks extra cuz it happened less than a block away from my house. Always remember that there are a lot of factors with things like this but the only thing you can do is reduce and minimize your risk factors, however, you can never control the actions of someone else.

    Nothing is more frustrating and scary than having any and all control of a situation be ripped away from you in a wreck. as someone who has had a very similar accident due to someone pulling out in front of me, I empathize with you, and I'm so glad you and your girl are okay.

      They maybe could’ve paid attention to the yellow speed sign that said go 15 or 25mph around this curve… but they were driving spiritedly!

      @@chriswywh that is a huge consideration, I can’t tell how fast they were going but if he was speeding at the moment he needed to react then that can make Adam at fault. He did mention the road was pretty busy though, so they very well could have been driving the speed limit at the time.

    Im so sorry this happened to you and Collete. I hope you weren’t injured too badly and recover ok. I’m sure by now you know Mat Armstrong is rebuilding your old GT3. Best of luck to Mat, and how epic would it be if you guys connected to see the finished product 😉

      @@kataude3339 Mat paid $160k for that car (before all the fees), and he'll need to spend a lot more to fix it, so not really feasible to just give it away.

    As a recent resident of Robbinsville, NC removed from St. Petersburg, FL. It's rough seeing this. I'm a Porsche fan. I enjoyed watching the Porsche club come through. Tough watching you as a subscriber and a fan of Porsche. Happy to hear you and Collette are in good health. Get that thumb looked at.
