Buzz,
You can now apply for membership in the "Crash Test Dummies" (no bad JuJu meant) union now! Glad you are reasonably OK! |
Ouch, glad you're OK. Cars can be replaced.
|
I agree with you all and I am thanking my lucky stars it wasn't as bad as it easily could have been.
Mickmate - Re: the BF Goodriches - useless tires for drag racing, but about the only tire I've found hard and tough enough to take the abuse on some of the rough, potholed roads down here. Having said that, I genuinely wonder if a better set of tires would have made a difference in my ability to keep control in that same situation - Heaven knows I tried. |
If you can put your shoulder back together the car should be a cinch.
Take it easy out there. |
Buzz
Once had a similar accident in a MGB only I hit the second Lamp post. The only time I never buckled up and I was thrown clear.My time wasnt up and neither was yours. Now have a good christmas Jeff |
Buzz,
I am sorry to hear about this and I am very happy that you came out of it as well as you did. The Cobra can be fixed a lot easier than the body. I know it is going to be hard to do but have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and be thankful you weren't hurt worse. I borrowed your picture to post on our site as we have a thread going about how quickly these cars can get away from you for the new builders of which we seem to have a ton. I also referred them to this thread so they can read what you said. Take care, get well, and keep us informed. Ron :( |
Been there done that..! .....in 96....the car gets fixed...also cut my brow on the windshield ,took out two trees on the median.....I have 4 point harness, that was not on at that time......had I had the belt on I would
have had no injuries...... |
Geez man, that was a close one!:eek:
Seems almost all the street crashes with our cars, always involve a tree or a pole of some sort. Odd how that seems to happen.. Hope your back to 100% soon. Tempted as you may be to start checking out the car, I would wait, especially if you have to lay down to look under it. I hear that it is easy to have a second dislocation of a joint, soon after the first one, if your not real careful. |

In France, your body injuries would cost you nothing (we have a 100% national general insurance health coverage ) so, in my country, it costs more to get a car repaired than an human body repaired:LOL: Get well to be able to dance on the New year celebrations!!! |
Glad to hear you are o.k. Not sure what I think about you putting your own shoulder back in place!! Pretty tough stuff there!! I think I would of preferred the anesthesia! My guess is the clavical will have to heal on its own no matter how broken it is. It is like the one bone you cast. My son had a broken one at birth. You have a guardian angel and a reason you are still hear. So, what are you going to do about the car? Let me know, I have all the parts you need to repair it and will be glad to help you out. Or I could use a car in my shop.

Glad that you're on the mend and that the accident wasn't worse. Best wishes for 2014.

Thanks again everyone. Good news is that I saw the orthopedic surgeon yesterday and no surgery will be required. Six weeks in a sling and some therapeutic rehab and I should be good to go again.
Queenie - thanks for the info on the tires. A tire upgrade is definitely on the Cobra's fix list. I'll update with details and photos in once I get around to having an in-depth look at the damage. |
The good part is that worse comes to worse, at least I can still go to the beach:) (subliminal hint re: new paint scheme)

Really great! Thanks for the virtual gift!!!

Just saw this...
Aside from the expected and certainly well-meant "glad you're ok" and all that, let me say this from the perspective of friend who would sorely miss your presence on this here rock... Damn it...don't do that again! Scared the hell out of me reading it...until I realized you wrote it so you lived. :eek: Wished I could give ya hug in person, though I'd probably take your shoulder out again. Wuv you big time. |
Hey Big Brudda - I've missed you guys too. Been a strange year, but I'm happy as heck to be here typing this. Virtual (one armed) hug right back at ya. One for Ron and Brent as well! Celebrate the New Year well my friend.
