Bit of Bad Luck
On 3/11 I lost control of my work truck on an icy bridge and wrecked. I got banged up pretty badly. Worst of all, I broke one of the small bones in my right wrist. My arm is in a cast for as long as 12 weeks. 
My Vette will be going unused for quite a while.

I'll be 52 this year and until this incident had never wrecked or been hurt in a crash.
10 minutes after I wrecked a car lost control and came across the bridge backwards.
20 minutes after that a panel van lost control and slammed into my wrecked truck. The van driver was hurt pretty badly.
It was bad stretch of road that morning.

you will only have a cast from palm to elbow.
you will still be able to drive.
i drove my Z06 with a cast for a shattered right wrist from palm to elbow and a cast on my left arm from shoulder to wrist.
harder to get out then it was to get in or drive.
here is a tip: don't buy the shower cover crap they try to sell you.
use two bread plastic bags held on with an ace bandage.
good luck healing and in the 3-4 months of therapy after the cast comes off.
