Right arm was nearly paralyzed for a month, slowly getting movement back in my hand. Was finally able to play piano again yesterday for the first time in months. And, not one neighbor pulled a gun on me! :).

Nicely played. Too bad about racing, but it will give the other guys a chance at the trophy! Continued healing wishes for you.

Who knew you could get chain slap in your arm?!? :?




;) Congrats on recovering, good luck with a continued recovery, and sorry you had to go through it at all.

Thanks. I am doing lots of physical therapy. I have to stick to slowish piano pieces for now, and it's still a bit off. Getting there, though!

My buddy - who spun his 86 off the road into the desert a few months back - spun his 86 again; beached it this time. Allegedly, there was a dog he was trying to avoid. I'm not one to call bullshit, but I haven't seen many dogs on the 805...

Brother needs a Porsche and performance driving school. Real bad. Hard to tell from the photo, but he was a couple of feet away from a 10 foot drop...a few MPH faster, and his Saturday would have been a lot worse than waiting for AAA to show up and drag him back onto the asphalt.

You're right, in a proper car he'd clear the ridge.

I would suggest he get a base Camry, some Safety Driving lessons and leave the performance driving to those who can. There are those who have a disconnect between the brain and the right foot.

Nothing worse than scraping your belly. Wish he'd caught it on video. ha! I take it he might have hit the animal or no?
