Don't be embarassed to post the pics or vids, I'm sure most of us here have been there before or at least close.
What happened in the merlin9197 flyby video?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Travis did that exact same thing! Car looks kinda weird with the control arm off eh?
On another note, I darn near lost mine today. I was doing the speed limit in the fast lane when a semi trailer doing about 40mph less than me decided to use my lane, at just about the time I was going to use that very section. God, I love emergency lanes on the left side. Less than 5ft. between us.

Wow haro.....
I'm just finding this thread now....
Wow... is all I can say....
And you've gotta show us the video ...... I'll even host for you
One thing is for sure... I didn't crash.... but if I had it would have been off camera....you didn't know it... but about 30ft behind where the camera-woman (Jen) was there is a huge wall made of stones (you know the type that'* held together by wires).
Basically as soon as I passed the camera it was hard on the brake, and TURN to avoid the wall. If you watch them close enough, you'll notice I come off the gas just a little earlier then one would expect, that'* becase of the BIG freakin wall not 30ft behind the camera. hehe
Sorry to hear you screwed up, but at least you didn't do more damage to your car (like total it)..... but you've gotta post the video.....

haro, now you know how I felt about a year ago... or was it two?
Just further proves my point, though. You get over it and move on eventually. Trust me; I know And my car still isn't right, nor have I found a suitable replacement that I can afford, so I'm still presented with the ramifications of what I did on a daily basis. Although I'm glad I didn't **** up on camera, that'* gotta suck... Here'* an idea, though: Erase the tape! I would 
Might help you get over it if you never have to see the mistake again...
And hang in there, man. The wound will heal... in time...
