    Thanks man! I hope so too! I remain optimistic.

    you know what the kicker is, about an hour and a half prior to me getting hit on the highway, I witnessed an accident on the street close to where i was parked and i had ran down to assist a woman and her two kids before EMS arrived. Later on, turns out it was the SAME tow truck driver that took their car away that hauled mine to the body shop.

      Damn Albert, yikes is right. It's amazing that you are alive, which obviously I am glad to hear. Good luck getting everything sorted out, its a shame about the KG though.

        Albert- Glad you're okay man! Sorry to hear about the ride but you'll be able to find another I'm sure.

        As for insurance and 'pain and suffering' I went through all of the same things in my first accident. Some dude hit a lady behind me at a stop light and caused a 5 car accident and I got a lawyer to handle it all; Basically, from what I remember, he told me to continue getting treated (chiropractor, hospital check ups, etc.), right down the time I would be missing from work, and all of the 'damage' I received from being in the accident and he was able to pull a few grand for pain and suffering on top of all my medical and car bills. You should have no problems doing the same; Just get some recommendations for a good lawyer and you'll be straight.

          Shit Albert, sorry to hear about this. Glad you came out relatively unscathed even though the Ghia is a write-off. But they sure know how to build them back then. I'm a big fan of vintage cars and know how solid they are.

            Damn A, what a story. It's good to hear you're alive and well. It's a real shame about the car, but at least you got out of it without any serious injuries. Hope everything works out, keep us updated on how it goes.

                  glad you're alright albert. i think one of my biggest fears is being killed in a car accident but it's probably cuz there's no such thing as a good driver in houston.

                  i hate to wish tragedy on anyone, but i do hope this mess spills over into the US sooner rather than later cuz it won't be resolved until america gets truly involved. even if we ignore the fact that america plays a key role in the gang crisis (funded by american money and fought with american guns) you would think we would give a little more consideration to our neighbor's considering the large number of american citizens that have family and relatives still living in mexico.

                  with all the billions (if it's not trillions yet) we've spent trying to stamp out terrorism across the globe you'd think we could divert a litte more defense spending than the 500 million already offered to help proect our borders.

                  it's kind of mind boggling when you think how much money we give to the military and that "simpler" issues such as obesity and health care are a thousand times more dangerous than terrorism (just a wild guess here, i don't have any numbers).

                    ^totally mind boggling. agreed, but the idea of Borders itself is farcical when in the 80's through NAFTA the "free flow of labour" ie, borderless was already the plan, Jaques attali; Millenium "Winners and Losers and the coming NWO." This is typical Orwellian double think where they have factions arguing for tighter border control while they are building the NAFTA super highway, ie. the Trans Texas Corrridor......it is very good to see the compassion people have for Human suffering on this site tough, and that is most important...Border as a word itself is simply the masonic Bee Order...so I think we all know what that means.

                          thanks E :)

                          I'm currently waiting to hear what the other insurance co has to say and what they're going to offer me for compensation (medical, vehicle, pain&suffering) and if it's not up to par... it's lawyer time. I was given the name of a local lawyer who is actually in the volkswagen scene so has a particular interest in helping those out with vintage vw's. I hear she's a real hellion with insurance co's

                          The insurance company should be contacting me any day now... so we'll know soon where this will be going!
