Unhappy This hurts too...

Hi guys,

Haven't posted in a while. Been busy doing other things.

I just wanted to let you know that for whatever reason, the Gods decided to take my baby from me last week. An old Ford dualie pulled out in front of me at 45mph. I had a split second to stand on the brakes and swerve away from the cab of the truck. So, I slammed into the rear, apparently knocking the rear axle out from underneath the truck. Needless to say, the car is totaled. The impact wasn't bad, just felt like someone whacked me with a big downy pillow. I'm A-OK, except for a little neck soreness the day after.

Still haven't decided if I want to wait and get an '05 MR, or buy something simple for cash and purchase a house. I always told myself I'd never be the guy who got rid of his sweet *** car to get married or buy a house, but I dind't really have much of a choice on the matter. it's not like I meant to total it...

Here's a pic for ya. I'm gonna miss that car.

PS. I have a barely used AEM EMS w/built in UEGO as well as 4 Pioneer oversized 6 1/2" speakers for sale. E-mail mcremean@lni.net if interested.

They are still Enkei's, however.

Also sorry to hear about the loss. But you have your health everything else is trivial.

What does that have to do with what I said besides trying to be a smartass internet hero?

And in the sky, the buzzards begin to circle ..

Made my stomach flip-flop when I saw ... but, you are alive and essentially unhurt. I would recommend that if the pain in your neck persists, you see a doctor. I torqued my back about 20 years ago, the damage showed up 3 years ago ... your spine is a funny beasty.
