Just got a call from him telling me about his little accident this past weekend coming back from his skiing trip. And wanted me to through up a post since he will not be able to get online for a while. First off he's alright but the cars a little roughed up.
Aparently what happened was he was coming south on 35 just north of hinckley and was run off the road by a couple semi's. So instead of hitting the semi he headed for the ditch instead. At a good rate of speed still and offroaded eleanor. Into one of those wooded splits in the freeway up there. I gues he barrely missed the trees but damage was done by jumping the emergency cross lanes. He took it to a dealer and they gave him a quote of 6-7g's in damage to suspension and frame, exactly what I don't know. He said he drove it all the way home and it shimies like mad. He's waiting on what the insurance company wants to do.
He also wants to know how many are showing up to tomarows meet? And if he should show up in the minivan? So let me know so I can pass it along to him or give him a call. And tell him to come and pimp the minivan for a night.
