You're alive! Haven't seen you post in a while.

What's up bro!! How ya been? It's been a while. I almost wasn't alive actually. May 22nd of 2012 I was in a bad wreck. Thought I was dead on the scene, then found a weak pulse. Jaws of life to get me out. Helicopter life flighted to the hospital. Doctors didn't expect me to live through the night. Coma for 8 days. No memory when I woke up. Couldn't do anything on my own. Finally started getting my memory back. Hospital for a month, everyone there was surprised at how well I was doing. Didn't have to go the the Shepherd Center for rehab like they had me scheduled for! Just had NO short term memory for a few months. Still no memory of the wreck or the hospital stay. I kept pulling out my feeding tube and IV, they finally had to stitch the IV to my arm.

oh shit man, glad your ok.
any idea what happened?

Thanks man! No clue really. It was in a curve in the road, but where I ran off was half way through the curve. Doesn't make sense really. If I fell asleep I wouldn't have made any of the turn, but I made half of it. Also, I would think running off the road would have woken me up if I was asleep, but there were no brake marks an no signs of correcting the wheel. Also, it was around 2 in the afternoon, so I very seriously doubt I would have fallen asleep. Plus I've never fell asleep while driving in 16 years. No alcohol or drugs involved either. Cops asked my parents at the hospital (right after the wreck while my parents were already hysterical!) if they thought I was trying to commit suicide!! Definitely not!!!! Guess it might have looked that way though. They say I was going around 70mph, ran off the road, hit a fallen tree, went airborne, then hit a standing tree over 6 ft in the air! I'm very lucky to be alive . Definitely had a guardian angel watching over me! I'm feeling about 99% back to normal now. The Dr's are shocked at how well I am doing every time I go for a follow up! The first few months home from the hospital are still a blur, but other than that I've been great! On Disability till the end of this year too. Disability pay sucks, every month I get what I used to bring home in 1 week, but it's better than nothing!

EDIT : Sorry for the off topic replys guys! Just saw Jucostud and I know him from another Mustang forum as well as here, and hadn't talked to him in a LONG time!! Again, I apologize. Thanks

What size tire is that? Always wanted Saleens for my 04, maybe I'll put them on the 13
Eibach pro kit, with 18x8 in the front and 18x10 in the rear. I'll see if I can get some better pictures.

Took a few more quick photos with the new 18" STR 609's. Really need to head downtown and take some decent 'location' shots. The wheels are starting to grow on me. Getting used to 18's after running 19's for a year.

Thanks Ryan, the Roush wheels set that thing off. It definitely can pull off chrome very well!

I would never have done it without your help.. That photoshop of the wheels really helped. It seems we both got what we wanted in the end. So that makes things even better.. On that note it was a pleasure to meet with you.. :beer:
