This post is simply me musing about my backup plan. You see, plan A is pretty straightforward as it's just blowing my head off with a magnum or shotgun. Plan B is a little more involved, but doesn't need much either. All I need is my car, a long stretch of road, and a bridge abutment. For those that don't know what that is, it's the solid walls on each side of a bridge underpass. My car is also very fast, as it came stock with pretty good specs, and I have modified it over the years to be able to go faster.

Here's a picture of the prime style of abutment I'm looking for:


This example here had a spotlight shone on it when the co-owner of the OKC Thunder (NBA) crashed into it and died. For a while, it was believed to be a suicide, but recently that idea has been challenged. Either way, that death highlighted a potential method that I've considered in the event that I can not obtain a gun. I don't even mind having to travel just to pull it off.

So, the plan is pretty simple, go to the bridge, and then drive a sufficient distance to be able to reach my car's top speed. My car has a 0-60 (mph) of around 5ish seconds, and it gets to over 100 in less than 15. It'll just be me, the road, my last song, the roar of my engine, then *BANG*... silence. I estimate I'll easily be going over 120mph when I hit, so the chances of survival will essentially be zero.

Here's a video which demonstrates the sheer destruction of this method:

As you can see, the vehicle had no chance, and it's occupants less so. My only hang-up with this method is that I do genuinely love my car, as it's the encapsulation of years of blood, sweat, and tears that I shed to make it what it is today. However, if it comes down to it, sacrifices will have to be made, and it's not like I can take my car with me to oblivion. Hopefully though, it won't have to come to this and I'll be able to give my car to a friend who I know would take good care of it.

We'll see what happens, because a lot of these bridges are being changed so that such crashes are impossible. Only time will tell.

This seems like a very easy way to spend hours in a lot of pain, semi-conscious, being resuscitated over and over again. You don't know how your car will handle offroad at high speed. You could entirely mess up. You could hurt someone else.

Plan A isn't as exciting but it gets the job done. Less risk of maiming yourself or hurting others.

I know how my car handles very well. At high speed, off-road, and both. I literally built and race the thing, so this would not be a challenge for me. I also plan on doing it during the least busy hours of the night, so the chance of somebody else being hurt would be miniscule. If you watched the provided video, you would see that there's no resuscitating a pile of meat.
