He probably dropped his cell phone and accidently stepped on the throttle while
looking under the seat for the phone <G> or the firestone Atx blew out under the
heat of stop and go traffic and he lost control.HaHa
Sheesh! Frank, I am really glad you got out of that basically unhurt. One
aspect of internet communication that I have always found difficult is the
possibility of this happening to someone and as far as we know all they did was
stop posting.
Unless there is a friend or someone else in thier town that can notify us of
the incident then its like they just disappear. I am really glad this wasnt't
the case this time.
  Hope your new car has a higher bumper !

If someone ever does that to me in my car, I really feel sorry for them, then for me.  Because if  I can get out of the car, I will
pound them into a pulp, then get arrested.  But that's just me, I'm a little attached to my cars ;-)

Well, not quite, but I went to the salvage yard this afternoon to retrieve what I could from the car (I actually got most of the
salvageable stuff right after the accident as it turns out). While there I took some pictures and have put together a small web
