    This was my tow vehicle until about 6:30 last night.

    My wife was with me. I was driving. We will both be OK.

    A lot of people know my phone numbers, but please don't try to call in the next couple of days.

    We got broadsided by a Suburban doing about 50-60 mph. We rolled a couple times. Finished on the driver's side door/roof. EMT cut me out through the sunroof.

    Later.

    Matt- glad to hear you're okay. The blood is NOT a good sign.

    If you *really* want to come to Columbus (and the doc gives you the OK), let me know and I'll tow ya.

    Holy sh!t!!! I am glad that you are OK enough to post to us. Our prayers are with you. I was looking forward to meeting you in Columbus but maybe we can race another time. Take care of yourself, you and the wife are very lucky, that was a pretty bad hit.

    Holy crap! It's just unbelievable you're able to post after that or do anything at all for that matter. I hope your wife is in as good or better shape than you are.

    I'm stunned. I can't believe it. Even with the bags you got accelerated to 50 or 60 in probably a few milliseconds... Hoping you both recover quickly and painlessly as possible.
