Very sorry to hear about the accident. With any luck years from now this will just become another one of lifes' great stories. In the mean time, take it slow. Make sure that you are physically sound and then we can focus on the machine.

I'm glad both you and the fool survived this. I believe you might have cheated the statistics on this one, but no matter how, Juli and I are glad you're o.k.

Thank you Steve for helping Colin in his time of need. I know any one of us would have done it in a heartbeat, but regardless, it deserves a thanks and a pat on the back.

I cannot believe this!!! It's so sad, and so terribly WRONG!!!!

But I'm so glad you are OK. Please keep us posted on your recovery and the status of the Road Warrior.

She went further left of center upon seeing you swerve???? UNBELIEVABLE!

Prayers and good thoughts heading your way....

OMG! Glad to hear you're OK (at least physically), terribly sorry to hear about the Road Warrior.

The answer to your question is in the preceding sentence .. idiots, that's who.

I'll pour one out for the Road Warrior at the Lab tonight. <snif>

Oh...no...

First off, I'm glad to hear you are relatively OK. As the second-to-last IAC member to see the Road Warrior intact, I am deeply saddened.

My driveway is at your disposal. Call me if you need a place to stay.

Yikes, close one.
Too bad about the bus but your good own condition is paramount. Glad you got off as well as you did, and hope your neck recovers.
Best wishes,
Jim

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. -George S. Patton

The road warrior. The idea of the road warrior. That such things exist in this world.

In the big picture Colin, this may have been a very lucky day for you here. We can always replace a bus, never a person.

Hope you are feeling better in the next few days.
