What, you were all thinking it.
OK, maybe it was just me.

Thanks for the kind words and thoughts guys. I really appriciate it. Details of the crash; We were driving down county road 1 to the boat launch in Rideau Ferry and only about 2 or 3 mins. from there 
when the trailer hit a patch of gravel on the road and fishtailed hard which caused the car to loose control and we skided into the ditch 
The car slid for a bit on the passenger side, tearing up the doors and breaking the windows, before flipping onto the roof which took out the sunroof and windshield, and finally flipped onto the driver's side door before sliding into a fence which stopped the car. I thank god that the two girls with me weren't seriously hurt, my girlfriend was unmarked except for a small bump on her head which she got from hitting her head on my head 
and my friend in the back only got two small cuts on her face which shouldn't leave any scars. Looking at the wreckage after the accident it's a miracle nothing worse than a broken collar bone came out of it.
As far as the damage goes, my dad's Maxima was obviously totaled, even the trunk was completely detached, the trailer was bent and the wheels were blown, the body of the boat wasn't that bad considering, only a dent in the hull the size of a fist and a couple minor skratches but the motor was blown apart
. Other relevant losses, a couple fishing rods that I had in the trunk were broken but I was able to salvage the reels. And my tackle box remained intact but everything inside was thrown everywhere and I haven't had the time to check if everything is there. Plus the fishfinder and trolling motor got pretty wrecked.
It was definitely a scary experience and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. The only bright spot of the day was the OPP officer Mr. B.J. Hollywood, no joke that's his real name, was very nice and helpful which made the whole experience that much more bareable. Now I have some time to mentally prepare for Ice Fishing season. Oh, and as of now no word as to if I need surgury, but will probably know by tomorrow.
Thanks again for all your thoughts.

I suppose the worst thing now is trying to convince them to go fishing with you again 
It's amazing how things happen so quickly... one minute you're driving down to the launch the next you're rolled over in the ditch... Hopefully, everything will get sorted out soon and we're all glad it wasn't any worse. If either yourself or ian want to get out sometime drop me a line. I'm sure there are others that would also offer you a spot in their boats.

I'm sure Ian will though.
