Yeah, what everybody else said. Glad you're alright... Ummm... If it happens again, and you don't come out OK... Can I have your car?[8D]

Thanks guys! He got a ticket, but I don't know what it was - if I had to guess, probably something like failure to yield at a crosswalk. It was a complete accident; I was wearing a gray coat and black pants, it was cloudy, there was dirty snow everywhere, so I don't imagine I was terribly easy to see. In any case, I'm feeling much better today, and I'm happy I wasn't hurt any worse!

And Jazz; yes, you can have my car if this happens again and I don't make it - but ONLY if you then give it the VR6-T conversion it deserves.

Funny you should mention that. My mechanic (rayveedub) & I are going to try to do abuild of a CQ-VR6-T, starting this spring (as long as nothing else major goes wrong with the D2, that is). so, don't get run over anytime soon. IDT I can afford 2 builds in teh same year. Well, if you DO get run'd'over, make sure you recover!

Glad that you came out okay. I've been fortunate enough never to have to deal with anything like that, but it's good that you got everything taken care of relatively quickly!!

Yeah he had just started moving because the light had just turned green, so he wasn't going very fast at all. In fact, all my injuries are from hitting the ground, not from the truck. I basically feel like I fell off a bicycle or something like that.

I heard that the pickup came flying down the street at about 45mph and you struck a heisman pose and your stiff-arm totalled the truck...stop being so modest.
