Yeah, everyone is OK. Found a knot on my shin later in the day. Must've hit the window regulator.
Great to hear, I was afraid you got your left leg busted up seeing the pic.
Edit: Shook up though? My wife was in a highway spinout last year and she was kinda nervy in general for a month or two and about driving with anyone but me for 5 or 6.

Friggin blows. Was it weather related or simply inexperience and stupidity?
To me, weather related = she got shoved off course by a tornado that descended on top of her, all the rest is covered by inexperience and stupidity.

Both. I wasn't paying attention to her until I saw her start to fishtail. The Mazda6 is FWD, so I guess maybe she was passing me and lost control when she steered into the center lane. It had been snowing, but the highway was just wet at that point as far as I could tell. I wasn't having tracion problem even with my near bald tires. She just about pushed me off the shoulder and over a 5-10' drop into a ditch on the side of the highway. I counter steered to stay out of the ditch and then ended up spun around in the center median.
I don't think she was doing anything particularly stupid, but she ccertaily didn't have a clue what to do once she started to lose control. I remember seeing her arms frozen at 10-2 as she drove into me...
Weren't you trying to sell this thing anyway?
If so im not finding you another one.
But there ARE plenty of rust-free bodies down here. They're 99% v6 but realistically thats not a lot more work than anything else. Let me know.
Dont push the red button.You hear me?
Actually, it was sold. I took a $400 deposit on it the night before. Hopefully that helps me with the insurance company. He still wants the van, though (for less money, obviously). He's talking about getting OhioRob to help him fix the body work.
Or at least not the opposite, they'll try anything to wriggle out. "Oh, that means he was the official owner and we were no longer liable"

Yeh, im not sure how that can help you other than as motivation.

Damn, that blows, and that always happens, lol, you sell something and sure as shitt, it gets wrecked or blown up.
If that was here, they'd write it off, they wanted to crush mine when I got rear ended, $2000 worth of bent metal,

I'm going to inquire about getting this van back from the buyer. Rob Pachner helped him do the repair work over a year ago, it wasn't painted the last time I saw it, but it might be now. If not this one, I know Rich has 4-5 other turbo vans he might part with...
Sweet, why the change of heart?

My company lease is expiring and I can't get nearly as sweet a deal as I have now. I'd rather have something fun and cheap, than expensive

We'll see. I lost Rich's contact info. So, I'm waiting for Chuck Green to get back to me...Gotcha and
Well, he either has vans or knows who has them. I think he got rid of all but one of his (or all of them?) but there was another guy in ohio hoarding up an entire stash of turbo minivans.
Dont push the red button.You hear me?
That's the Rich guy I was talking about. He has like 7 vans now. Including Chucks Holatta, Moparules van, and Terry Ryan's van...
i think he has bigPSI minivan as well....i thought his name was chuck something
