Greg,
just as I'm kidding around with something stupid on the list, this comes along.
Truly sorry, this has happened to you.
Let's just be very grateful, that you're alright, everything else can be
replaced. Accidents are scary and make you think about priorities in life.  Just
be thankful that is ended as it did. It could have been much worse. I'm sure, 
all
of us on this list are standing by you with our thoughts and encouragements. 
Hope
that you can keep the car. It would be a shame if you couldn't. Let us know what
you are going to do with it.
All the best
from Wilf and Liv
