    Could have been better for you and worse for the car if the impact was allowed to crumple car more. But, its just spitballin.

    Be happy you didn't have a roll bar and a cracked head.

    I said the same thing to my wife... prob woulda split my head in half with a cage or bar.

    As for my injury... i broke the hip off of the ceter console... i think that would have happened either way. In fact.. its the female end of the seatbelt holder that i beleive really broke my hip as I pinched it between me and the center console when i made the passenger side ending impact...

    So many variables... i think im in for a big suprise when we pull the seats and carpet... i think the floor is gonna have one hell of a story to tell.

    It's really depressing that I posted your build thread on another forum to help someone understand what it takes to build something like this, then I curiously click on the last page since it's different since the last time I saw the thread, and wow. Dude I'm glad you are alright, but forget losing a dog or a cat, that's painful, but this is so much worse, it's like you were riding your dog and it died, you saw it die, that's painful. I applaud you for allowing it to be a organ donar and allowing its bits and pieces to help the lives of friends rides, it'll live on forever.

    Hey man... let me start by saying it means more than u could know that u shared my build thread to help someone else out.

    The crash has really been beating me up emotionally. I know most people here and on fb probably have heard enough of me whinning about it... but it wasnt just a car, like u said. She was and still is a part of me.

    Everyday I go in the garage and close my eyes and wonder what could i have done different to try to save her. Not that it changes anything, but even though I know there was failure of some sort... I have been adopting more of the blame myself... that I didnt do somethi g right.

    I know we all think we are good drivers... but I have done extensive training in EVOC as well as certification as an EVOC instructor. I know I know what Im doing... and yet... its a persistent nightmare.

    I was lucky that I insured her the way i did, and I am lucky to have her back in the garage with the powertrain hopefully unharmed. So it makes me happy to give away whatever I can to help others.

    As u know, this forum... this community means the world to me, and Id never try to prosper from it. I bought into it to help others amd to keep a place for our community to remain alive. So handing stuff away for free... or even at a loss . Is still a WIN for me. And ur right... there is a feeling of satisfaction knowing that she will live on i many other peoples rides.

    If u dont mind posting a link where u shared my build, id love to see some comments and zid be happy to give some input to anyone who needs the direction who are trying to do the same.


    Thanks again for the kind words and ur right... other than the loss of human life... this is the most depressing situation Ive dealt with in my 40 years of life that has happened to me.

    Thanks man.
