Ah man......I hope you get well soon. Sounds like your hurting.
It sucks too that you lost all the time you've put in your car. Hopefully you get compensated well in your settlement.
Get back on your feet and back on the road soon.

The car was delivered yesterday. It is indeed totaled but the drivers compartment held up well.
I'll take some pictures later if I feel up to it. Thanks again for the kind words.I feel lucky to be here. Our cars are safer than I imagined.

Please wear your seat belts...i know I'm preaching but that kept me from being thrown. I am leary of removing the impact bars in the doors for weight removal...the act as sort of a SFC for the drivers compartment.

You guys keep raising hell and click off some good ETs for the FI crowd....I'll be back.....and remember..it IS just a car.

Are you going to be able to salvage any of your parts off the car? Engine kit?

God speed your recovery, I know you'll be back in the game soon.

Did your car have a rollcage?

I talked to Jerry yesterday and he sounds like he's still hurting preety bad. He says its mostly from his back. The adjuster came and looked at his car and its totlated ofcoarse. I think hes going to buy it back.

On the accident, some one hit the rear of the car and spun him into a wall on the interstate. I think he said he went into the other lane and traffic had to swerve to miss him.
The guy who hit him took off and they havent found him yet. There are a few more witnesses they need to talk to, so hopefully they find this guy. Hopefully the police get in gear and find him.
Well we will keep you in our prayers Jerry that everything comes out on top.

Get well soon!

Get well soon, bro!
The guy who totalled my old truck tried to drive off but couldn't because he trashed the steering box in his truck. He didn't have insurance either. I hope you get better soon, I still have back probs from that wreck almost 3 years ago. Hope ya get back to <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" /> soon <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks Smokinhawk...you pretty much nailed it. I'll be talking to insurance again Monday. No roll cage...it wouldnt have mattered as the drivers compartment was fine. it was the 60mph head on into the wall that hurt. I am still hurting pretty good right now. Trying to lay off the meds so I can see where my body is really at.
I hate it that I'm out of the game for awhile so to speak. Hopefully I'll be back in a few months. You guys keep kickin *** and representing for the FI crowd. WEAR your seatbelt...that with the airbag saved my life and I wasnt big on wearing my seatbelt

ahh man sorry to hear that.... but as mentioned, at least it wasn't due to you doing something stupid and it wasn't your fault.

Glad you are ok........ it's getting cold and the racing season is dying down so you have time to get something wicked going.

Goodluck!

Sorry to hear this, right now as we are reading this it doesnt really hit home until we put ourselves in your shoes. That has to be totally horrible to not only wreck your pride and joy but also to be injured. I hope this never happens to you again and I hope It doesnt happen to anybody on this board. That sucks bro. Get well as quickly as possible and build a bad *** GTO!
