   the little old lady in the "rare and exotic" baby blue ford Taurus SHO wagon going the wrong way down a one way street. gave me .03 seconds to react, I needed .05 so I guess I lost. amazing the energy the car absorbed. she pushed us 40 feet backwards. note the windshield, unseen are the pins in my wrist, and plate/screws in my wifes hand / foot. sad waste. 1982 aircooled 911SC, one of 2254 made that year. oh yeah, it was ON our 17th wedding anniversary night. Nothing like morphine after a 45 minute ambulance ride.........on your anniversary...........2 blocks from your vacation ocean front condo with shrimp and steak waiting for you........blamo. sigh. dyno'd at about 185 rear wheel in a light weight chassis, and corner balanced tuned track suspension mods to boot. .03 seconds your life can change.

That was a couple of years back, wasn't it?
Don't remember seeing photos of the car before but I think I remember you saying that you took a pretty hard hit. All the legal stuff done now?
