My wife, Lona, was in a very bad accident with the convertible. She is terribly scraped up and has a bad concussion. We think the vert flipped. She is home from the emergency room and able to get around.

At first, the dog was also lost. The dog spent a couple of nights out in a field close by. We were able to find her and bring her home and bathe her. Luckily, she was okay.

I have no idea about the vert, and I don't care right now. Until I see it, the only thing from what she says is that something in the steering broke and she just veered right off the road, hit a ditch, and she thinks it flipped. Makes me feel really bad that something I did... something I built... broke and almost killed her.

Regardless, I am thankful to still have her with me.

 

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Man, Ralph, that's bad. Did your convertible have a roll bar? I guess that's why open track events require them - you never know when a mechanical failure will cause a problem. Glad she's (relatively) OK.

 

Wow Ralph, well you and Lona are definately in our prayers. If you need anything at all don't hesitate to call.

 

Sorry to hear about your wife! What a terrible thing to happen but thank goodness that she's in decent shape. I know how you feel about the mechanical stuff. You're always concerned in the back of your mind about the safety and reliability of older models. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Wow. Prayers for her recovery, and for you too. So sorry to hear this

 

Thanks, everyone. She's having a time of it. All of your thoughts and prayers mean so much.

 

I am glad that she is going to be ok.. My Wife rolled her car a few years ago. Our thoughts a prayers go out for a speedy recovery.

 

Speedy Recover to you and your family.

 

Sorry to hear about the accident. Your family is in our prayers.

Sorry to hear about the accident, Ralph. Here's hoping for her speedy recovery. Remember, cars can be replaced, she can't.

 

Glad to hear she is OK. Hope she gets better soon.

 

Figured I would let everyone know that Lona is getting around better. She has serious road rash on her right thigh, stomach, and left side of the face. She has other issues that are not pretty. Yet, each day helps a bit. We are keeping her bandaged and the family doctor gave advice and meds.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It is wonderful to hear from so many folks.

 

So happy to hear she is okay; pls keep us informed. It was a very nice car when I saw it last and you should NEVER feel bad 'cause it wasn't your doing.....cars/parts just break. Call on me/us whenever you need to. All our thoughts/prayers are with you and your family.
