A real sad situation

I don't want to bum anyone out, but I have some unbelievable medical bills from an accident my wife had on her road bike two Saturdays ago. She will live (lucky) but the porsche must go. It's OK, I would rather have the wife. And I'll get another as soon as I can. But, if you want to get a shot at a car for under value, it's on ebay starting at $9000.00. Just a drop in the bucket, but every bit helps. You want the item # let me know.

Oh man. I am really glad that your wife survived the accident, but the photo is so devastating. I hope she has a speedy recovery, and the medical bills will somehow work out. I am really sorry that you must sell your beloved. You will find another; I'm sure.

Thanks, the photo is after over a week of recovery, We wondered if she would make it at first. Her face looks 100 times better in that photo if you can believe it. I had never seen anything like it before. We are very happy to have her alive.

That is so sad. Hope your wife recovers completely and fast.

One of the few things I do like about Sweden. No matter what level of medical care you need, the cost is symbolic - all but gratis.

Thanks to all. We really are just happy to have her. I am actually happy and in good spirits because I know how close to the other direction we were. Yes please go ahead and cross thread it. Thanks again for all the best wishes, Brandon

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
You're right, cars are pretty far down the list when there are real needs to be met...
Beautiful car, I'm sure you'll sell her quickly.
Let us know how it all goes.

This is really a bad situation for the two of you and I am truly sorry. From the looks of things she must have broken a vertebrae in her back or neck?
Here's wishing her a speedy recovery.
