Glad your ok Dennis. I got a call from Zac after Craig had let him know what happened. You will be back again and I bet your next ride will be even sicker!

I think you need to get a 996 GT2 next and come put the hurt down on everyone!

Glad to see you post Dennis.

I am going to start some early window shopping for the insurance money: For Sale/Trade APS TT Z06

That car was owned by a guy names Tony from New Jersey so you know it is a true Corvette through and through.

Now if you get compensated properly for your pain and suffering, this is what I recommend: 2002 Protomotive Built 996 GT2 6,000 miles 700+HP

From what I understand from the police officer on scene that showed up at the hospital was she suffered a seizure, side swiped another car, came across the interstection at approx 50-60mph and hit me head on. I am one lucky SOB for sure. As soon as I saw her hit the median and start heading straight toward me I knew I was in for one hell of a ride.

Guess I cannot say enough about how well the Z06 did it's job in protecting me from that head on collision. It could have been a life changing accident for me and my family for sure.

I'll give all the local guys a call when my head stops pounding. Thanks again for all the well wishes and phone calls from all my amigos. I'll be back, you can guarantee it. Here's a few pics...
