1st day driving Mazda = bad day

Hey there. This is only my 3rd post and Im already Protege Less...I rolled my 95 Protege S yesterday (sunday morning 6:45am)...I was roughly doing 90km/hr and fell asleep behind the wheel, I managed to clip a street sign and completely twist it around, took out 3mailboxes, then into the ditch were I rolled it onto the roof...I was so upset when I crawled out of teh car and saw what happened...My sub box had come through the back seats and completely ripped them off and my 6x9s are toast, but it looks like my HU is ok...I had 3peopl call an ambulance for me..All I have suffered is a few cuts and minor stiffness in the neck and back. I am going down to hte impound yard later today to get my digitalk camera out of it nad take pictures and assess the damage and decide if I can fix it...As long as the engine turns over and the A pillars and roof arent crushed It will probably become a project car...What I saw that I would need for sure is a roof, passenger side doors, front fender, prolly hood, bumper, grill and headlights...and my interior is toast from the beer bottles in the back exploding and pouring over everything. I have a MX-3 interior for it if I decide to try and fix it, or just stay with my wagon and part out what I can....Depending on what insurance says about it will determine if I drive again.......I just put the car on the road teh day beofre this all happened..

good lord. Glad you're ok. Sorry to hear what happened. I'm narcoleptic so I take driving at night (sleepy time) very seriously and I understand EXACTLY what you went through.

please assure me though that you weren't driving drunk and the beer in the back was all unopened bottles in a grocery bag waiting to find their way to your fridge....

The beer was in the trunk and I had no alcohol in my system, I blew 0 on the blow test thingy..thast one thing I WILL NOT do is drink and drive, I take that very to heart, ecspoecially when my friends do it, I wont get in the car with them..
