Get well, my friend. Rest and heal.
You are in my and my family`s prayers.
Looks like the man upstairs has a thing for detailers!

You sure you couldn`t use a little M105 and the 1 Pad system and take care of some of those "swirlmarks"?

I feel great this morning, all things considered. My hands are a little itchy from the broken glass and I have a couple cuts. My upper back is a little sore, but otherwise I feel 100%.

Thanks Barry. I was driving home from Tampa, Jack and I had landed about an hour previous from Wisconson. We flew in from SEMA on Saturday then flew out to Wisconson on Sunday, and flew back on Monday. I just wanted to get home and see my family (it had been 9 days and I had been Canada for two weeks previous). I was driving home when a yellow Mini Cooper swerved infront of me. I swerved to avoid him then had to swerve to avoid hitting what he swerved to miss (a huge matteress in the middle of the road).

The rear end got light (I felt it coming) and was full opposite lock and lightly on the gas (to settle the rear) but it was too late). Before I knew it I was backwards at 70mph heading for the ditch.

Thank GOD it was just me!!! The only lingering thought I have is what if my family would have been in there. I think I am going to buy a new full sized tank next!

Thanks Mike! I feel very lucky, maybe I will try some M105!

Good God man! Glad you`re ok, I hear ya on the next car - go to the IIHS.org and read the crash tests.

**Tru_Shine** · 11-09-2010, 09:34 AM

Man! Glad to see your ok! That really gets you thinking though?

**imported_Auto Concierge** · 11-09-2010, 09:39 AM

Holy C**p, I was just on the phone with Eric yesterday afternoon and he said you guys just left.................glad you are alright. Looks like the HHR`s safety is not in question at all as in some cars you would be expired..... someone or something was there on your behalf:angel:.

Todd replace that "LS" model with the "SS" trim and have it flashed like I did the wife`s rig in Black of course Get Well

**imported_JSFM35X** · 11-09-2010, 10:04 AM

Todd,

Glad you are OK all things considered.

Can you say TEST PANNELS?

**gmblack3** · 11-09-2010, 10:06 AM

Damm boy! Glad you are ok!

Get yourself one of those monster trucks from SEMA, that way you can drive over the mini without touching it. :thumbup:

**imported_Stokdgs** · 11-09-2010, 10:10 AM

Todd,

So sorry to hear and see what happened.

I am glad that you are ok, and not banged up in the ICU ward of the hospital.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours; hope you heal up fine.

Dont worry about us - we will all be ok, and will keep the light on until you return.

Best,

Dan F
