Sucks that you got hit. But glad to hear you're ok.

Flip top, great idea!

Bummer!

Glad you're unhurt... that is the most important thing. Hope the insurance company guys are not butts... Good luck!

Been there except in a 69 Big Block Vette,mine was with an oil truck.It is an instant acid stomach event.Knock on wood hopefully never in the Cobra.

Thanks for all the well wishes

Feels like I took a beating. I hit my head on the roll bar, I still have a head ache (Ill be building a pad now). The Dr is sending me for x-rays today and referral to PT. sucks!

Patrick,

I would say he was going to fast for conditions and not paying close enough attention. I stopped, then I heard skidding and the impact. It was slippery, but I managed not to hit anything or anybody.

Jerry,

I was a little crooked but still pointing in the right direction and in my lane. It’s a long sweeping turn that is banked (low driver side).


Mick,

I can’t see the quarter being fixed, it’s pretty destroyed. I haven’t looked over the whole car yet, too sore. I know the upright bolts are sheared and the arms sure look bent based on the wheel position. I hope the frame isn’t bent

Do not underestimate the significance of blunt force trauma to the head. Second, do not underestimate the significance of soft-tissue injury or the overall "roughening up" that your entire body took from the impact -- you (just like your car) need a full "inspection." You're not as young, nor as tough, as you think you are. And for God's sake, if you get an unusual, sharp headache call 911 immediately.
