the wreck

It has been almost 2 & 1/2 years since the car gave it up for me and now is the time to post up. I know that someone will get the vin in the place where it belongs so others will see so they have knowledge as to the history of the car. I have procured another red car as a good replacement.

Even Shawn could not save this one!

I did not walk away that day. Spent one month in the ICU and then five months at a rehab center learning to walk again. So in a sense , it took me about two years to walk away but agree that I am fortunate to have been driving the NSX that day.

Although it has been awhile,this incident was posted by a fellow primer - d1 guy - who I purchased the car from - a couple weeks after it happened in Aug. of 2010. I did reply at the time but that was back in the " fuzzy " phase of recovery. I was on my home from my 2nd shift job and was hit head on by a wrong way drunk driver without their headlights on at 50 mph. It was on a divided highway near downtown Milwaukee at 1:30 am in the morning. The thing is that now it's thing of the past and with the help of my wonderful wife, great family , doctors , therapists and all the others that helped , we can put this behind us and move on. I could now post up mostly to get the info about the car and vin number as before I could not because of legal matters. I thank all primers and the NSX community for their well wishes.

Wow. Thanks for the update. I just found the thread informing Prime of your accident, and I'm glad you are still part of this community.

Your NSX looked so pristine before :frown:: http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showt...ndition-Always-Pampered-VIN-JH4NA1151NT000662

Damn drunk drivers.

Glad to hear you are ok. What a gorgeous car- such a shame.

These pictures are heart wrenching

Jebus!

Wow! Stupid drunk drivers!! Very happy to hear that all turned out well in the end. Welcome back to Prime!

Good to see another prime member surviving from something like that, welcome back!

whoa

Was the other driver killed? what was their car? It is a miracle you survived that... that car looks REALLY bad. Welcome back... to both prime and to a somewhat normal life. Glad you have made it. I am sure it was not easy.

Wow, glad to have you still among the living, walking, driving.

Looks like some Honda engineering and VERY good doctors saved your life.

holy geez I am glad you are alive. and this NSX gave her life to save yours. I am happy you have a new one. like turbo2go asked was the other driver killed or in jail.

if there is anything you ever need for your new NSX just ask me I will be glad to donate to your new baby.

welcome back buddy.

Again , THANKS , to all the primers for their well wishes and comments about my continued recovery. It just shows it's the people who own the NSX rather than just about the car itself. The drunk plead guilty to a case F felony & in WI that got her 2 years prison & 2 years probation ( absolute sobriety ) with community service which has her talking about what she did to high school students. She actually faired better than me for whatever reason since she was in a POS dodge Sebring or intrepid or something dodge sedan. I did not concern myself with her and let the system handle her future. I needed to stay positive for my long road to recovery. It takes time and energy for rehab is hard.
