Doug - Very sorry to hear about your (further) problems . I'm glad to hear you came out of it relatively unscathed , albeit with a few bumps & bruises . It could've been MUCH worse . It's a shame that your '98 had to pay the ultimate price , but it did it's job ... it saved yours . It may sound hollow ,but cars are replaceable , people are not .

Get better & keep us updated on your injuries (and get that neck looked at) .
