It shows for you because it's on your computer. :) But unless your computer was set up as a server; we wouldn't be able to see it. ;)

The accident was in sumter south Carolina. I have pictures of me in the emergency room and tony and I at home with the bruises and such. It was a miracle we were not killed. The state police asked "who was driving the red car" tony said I was and told him I was the passenger. He shook his head and said we were beyond lucky. I know better, we were blessed. :) About 1 minute after this photo was taken, The car was completely engulfed in flames, despite the efforts of several gas station personal, the fire extinguishers were useless. The fuel cutoff switch failed. The car was a total loss. If tony wouldn't have kept the car under control after we were hit we would have hit the gas pumps. The truck that hit us was from Florida as well. A young college kid. He had a broken finger. Like I said it was a miracle.

I have always had a strong faith and after that day-night, it was almost dark, it grew even stronger. It was a scary experience but the people of sumter really opened their arms to us. It's bad enough being in an accident locally but we were out of our element so to speak. The motel gave us a discount the taxi driver did too, we had to go another town that had a budget rent a car office. It was a nightmare. I wrote an article to the paper there and they printed it. I will scan it next time I am off. Tuesday I believe. God bless to you you too Eric and Hugs(())

Wow Johnathan, you've mentioned your accident before but until now, until I really saw the picture of your car, OMG, it never really hit me how indeed lucky you and Tony are! It must give you goose bumps to look at this picture.

You said someone hit you? Grrrrr.....

Yes this was a nice car and all, but not as nice as 'our' Johnathan. Glad you're here, wx buddy. Cars can always be replaced, not people.....

I do :wink: Trust me I know both of us should have died in that accident. The car errupted into flames and was a total loss five minutes after I got out. My belt jammed so I took a little longer to get out. I kept telling Tony to go and he just looked at me :eek: The smoke was spewing in my face and the radiator fluid was spraying out. I don't know if you can tell in the picture but the engine, part of it was by where the radio was. I know Tony and I have a purpose here, I knew before but that just reaffirms it :wink:
