Good luck to you Kari
Thank you for persisting and posting that photograph. It sure did look like a nice car. I am currently teaching my children to drive and i can't emphasis enough to them, the need to drive defensively and scan for "fecking edjits comin' at ya" all the time. They get good training here on Aussie country roads.You never know when a kangaroo will jump out in front of you. All the beef cattle around here are black and get out onto the roads, very hard to see at night. Good for the reflexes.
I have always worried about my hub's job, being in a band. He's on the road at 3 or 4 am ,coming home tired with all the semi-trailers driving like maniacs. He'd just ger toatlly squsihed by the PA?bass speakers behing him.I try not to think about it too much, but..... I had to drive into town last night. foggy, late, picking kids up from a school dance.I had to take the band van, bit of an old bomb. Without a load it handles terribly and I have never experienced this before. I was overtaken by 3 semi's and felt my van being sucked towards their ruddy great wheels just outside my window YIKESS!!, must be a vacuum principle at work.
it's a Zoo out there.
All the best to you in your recovery Kari. Stick at it man. Not sure how old you are, but it would realy suck to have to live along life in pain, so do all you can now...walk on, safe motoring.
