His Vette just got away from him. He is in very good spirits. He will recover and be just fine, We all like the "normal" Steve. I am sure he will be posting shortly. He ask for his phone and computer right after surgery. I know he wants to be posting now. Hope you have a fast recovery Steve.

Back from the hospital, Steve is currently at University Hospital on the 11th floor. He's in the OR recovery room. The had to repair a ruptured diaphragm, he also had 5 broken ribs and a collapsed lung. They've inserted a tube through his nose to help his lung. Spoke to him for about 5 minutes as that's all they would allow. He realizes how lucky he is to still be with us and hopes to be up and about soon. The hospital is full so he's waiting on a room.
Haven't seen what's left of his car yet I've been told it's pretty bent up. We'll keep him in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Spoke with Larry (Cozmo a little while ago and filled him in. I'm sure Steve can't wait to see some more friendly faces tomorrow.

Wow...crazy
Definitely one of the most respected member's here on the forum. Very relieved to hear he is going to be better.
Cars are replaceable, but that C5 is not...it was badass
He will find something bigger and better though, for sure.
Keep better soon

I visited Steve today and let him know that everyone here is thinking and praying for him on his way to a full recovery. He is very appreciative of all the friendships he has here, and he should hopefully be responding to these threads as soon as he is able to. He said the first thing he wanted was his phone so he could communicate with everyone, but they won't let him have that until he gets to his own room. He is in pretty rough shape, but he is still our Steve

I kind of figured that's what had happened. Our Vettes were at the same power level (boosted) so I know how easily this could have happened. It can happen so damn fast you don't stand a chance to correct it. I got greedy with the boost one time, went sidewards and almost into the center wall. Lucky I wasn't in it deep enough so I was able to corrected it. Feel better Steve
