it is with great sadness that this will probable be one of my last post. I just got out of the hospital from an accident on 6/10/06. I had a seizure while driving and ran under the back end of a ford 3/4 ton truck. needless to say the car is a total. The radiator sits almost even with the front wheels. Fortunately no one was Marjory hurt just a lot of my pride.
I doubt that I will be buying another for a while. The ironic thing about the whole thing is that I’m going to the Corvette museum on the 23rd with my son at Fort Campbell Ky.
I wish you all the best
David

There are more important things in life than cars.

Take care.

Sorry to hear that. Fortunately you're okay. I hope that is a condition you will not have to deal with on an ongoing basis.

The important thing is your alive and well. They say...cars can always be replaced. But as we all know a Vette is no ordinary car.

Who says you have to stop posting? Lots of people are on this board with no Corvette. MajZ06 is between Vettes right now, and he's a moderator!
I think the important thing is we can lend you support right now. If your willing to let us.

I'm glad that you are doing o.k. Cars can be replaced and I'm sure you will some day. Sorry for your situation. However, please don't mistake the fact that you no longer drive/own a Corvette to be a reason to leave the forum. There are plenty of folks here that don't have one for various reasons. Best of luck to you in your recovery.

Paul

Best of luck to you. I'm glad to hear that you have a son that will allow you to still participate in the sport, even if it's just as a head coach.

Tell you son that we are thankful for people like him who are serving our country proudly.
