Unbeleivable, Your certainly lucky to be here at all Harold.
If thats not a reason to wear a seltbelt I don't know what is.
Your a hellava man to take what life has handed you and make the the best of it, I commend you sir. Takes a special frame of mind that not all folks have to continue on and live a normal as possible with the disability you have. I know I couldn't do it.
Thanks for sharing the story, You have my respect sir.

Shizz, that's a whole nother thing. IIRC you have g-maxx's, yeh? Now I understand why you want the strongest possible car and I reckon I'd like to go bashin with ya just for the laugh :lol:

Thanks Bondo!

Panda- I'm always happy to have another bash partner (if the r/c flips on it's lid I need someone to flip it back over!:lol:)

I'll just click my heels three times and come from Oz!

Unbelievable Harold. The fact that it got worse after the accident, first the ability to walk, then the brain swelling causing the numbness. That's one heart tearing happening. No airbags, no seatbelts. You are still here, that's unbelievable. an 80mph crash..

Unbelievable what such a short period of time can cause for impact. My deepest respect for your positive attitude!

My sister, who isn't among us anymore, had an accident, (hit by a drunk driver when crossing the street) she was in a coma for a few months, and needed to learn everything from start again. (walking, writing) She was right handed, but this side was worse, so she had to learn everything to become a lefty.. she had the mind of a 12 year old. (this is how old she was when the accident happened)

I've got great family and friends, they've made all the difference.

RCM has played a big role in my attitude as well, I must say. When I have down time I come here,and the people are awesome.

Chris pulling together the gift of the netbook came at the perfect time in my life, I really needed a lift at that point and RCM did it for me.

I've had plenty of depressed days, and those just suck. In every situation a person may react, but in the end we choose how to handle it. I try to choose a positive attitude, life is truly what you make it.

Thank you, everybody here. Thanks Mike for the great forum. I really wish I could meet everybody. Maybe someday. Until then I'll be chasing after Linc's post count!!

Hey Harold, that looked like it was a nice car, my last car was a del sol and I think my next will be a '91 CRX.

What I read about the mechanical difficulties you have caused by the numbness of your hands got me thinking about something a guy on one of my R/C boat forums makes, its an 1/4" hex drive screwdriver with built in adjustable torque disengagement, I couldn't imagine how to tighten a screw/bolt/nut and not strip the threads without being able to feel the biting point, so you may have one already or something similar but if not it sounds like it could be a real boon to you. Heres the link.
