Arm was 90% severed on impact. Car pulled out in front of me while I was doing 50mph. They tryed to re-attatch with no luck. The nerve that controls the up and down movement of your arm was torn from my spinal column on impact, rendering the remains of my arm paralyzed. Sux but Im just glad Im alive.

As a fellow motorcyclist and evo owner, I'm very sorry for your accident. I admire your attitude. I think life is risk and we're all lucky to still be alive. The good news is there are some wicked automatics out there that don't give much up to a manual! Any plans?

Thanks bro, ride safe out there. Always wear your helmet and leathers! If I had been wearing leathers I prob wouldnt have lost my arm, however it would still be paralyzed though. Depending on when and how much I get for my settlement with the insurance company one of the three.

1. VW R32
2. BMW 138i
3. Porche 911 turbo.

not to be insensitive, but how do you shift?

I have an acquaintence that is a paralyzed from the waist down...he has a 900+ HP Supra with the TH300 auto. The brakes and throttle are controlled by handles next to the steering wheel. You can imagine him pushing the throttle steering, shifting, and then braking @ 130mph... yeah it's scary! (He also lost his function from a motorcycle accident)

Thats crazy man! Mad props to your boy. Its not hard for me to shift, I just take my hand off the steering wheel for a half a second to shift. The AWD helps and so does a proper alignment. The car is pretty much on rails so you can take your hand off the steering wheel for a good few seconds. Next time your driving your car give it a shot, its not hard at all! I can still drive the car perfectly, banging through all the gears at redline. I can still get some pretty sick turns and drifts down too! I took a rally racing course in northern FL about two months before I lost my arm wich also helps.
