That sucks to hear, but glad he is okay. Cars can be replaced and rebuilt, people can't.

I hope this is not true but if it is I hope he is ok. The car can be replaced.
He has had some bad luck in the past year. Didn't a car fall of some jack stands and fall on him this year?

that makes me sick to seee the car in that shape, but the car is nothing compared to your health.

good to hear you are ok , cars/parts can be replaced but not you .

hope you stay in it too , and best of luck.
