Man I got a lump in my throat when I read the title, I thought something had happened to Doug. :( At least everyone is OK.

Many many thanks!
 
All,

I cannot thank you for all the warm concern you have shown.

With all the stresses this time of year can yield, it truly warms me to know that we have a tightly stiched community.

Rest assured, the search for Baby II has already begun! As for all our valued clients, none of your orders will be delayed, you are my priority.

I just received these photos from John's father whom came to the scene not 15 minutes after it had happened. Even nearly 48 hours later I'm still in awe that everyone walked away with only a bruised ego.

Again - many thanks, and PLEASE have a safe holiday season!

Doug,
I so sorry to hear about Baby. I'm glad everyone is ok. That is what is important.

MacGuru Dec 14, 2003 12:25 PM

Very glad to hear everyone made it out alive and well. The car is replaceable. On the bright side, what color are you going to get next?

Cheers. -m

Perhaps there's a silver lining to this storm cloud. The engine looks like its running fine, or is at least mostly intact. Maybe Crawford can use that to test out some NA mods, you know maybe port/polish, stroker kit, etc.?? Would make a good test engine.

Whoever was in that car when it crashed better have driven to the closest gas station and bought a lottery ticket right afterwards. Amazing that anybody was alive after that crash, let alone unhurt.

Glad everyone is OK. Pretty tough car. Doors were able to be opened is amazing. Glad they wore their seat belts.

Jason@Performance Dec 14, 2003 03:10 PM

Horrible!

The first thing I see when I turn on my computer for the first time in a couple of days... ouch... horrible man...

Just glad everyone is ok... A car can be replaced, A life can not.

brarthur Dec 14, 2003 07:25 PM

My brother was the passenger and I can't imagine the loss of such a beautiful car but I'm really happy that I don't have to imagine my brother's funeral. Thanks for everyone's concern about the driver and passenger.

brarthur Dec 14, 2003 08:16 PM

I was the pasenger in the wreck of Dougs baby. I have to say that I was amazed me and the driver walked away, but for the record the car handled the road extremly well. It was the maibox that sat right right on the road and the rear of the car just clipped it. I still have full faith in te car and driver. Thank you Doug for being so supportive
Lucky to be here,
Josh Arthur

brarthur Dec 14, 2003 08:25 PM

John [the driver] saved my lif by holding me down during the accident. And by keeping his composer. Thank you, love. Your friend Josh

Site is fine from here. Please confirm.

You know a lot of people say the 350z is too heavy... To them, I ask could an S2K survive a crash like that? I doubt it.

Once again I'll send my best wishes to the Crawford crew, you guys seem like a tight unit and have a remarkable attitude. I know "its just a car" but we all get kinda attached to these things, so now that its for sure the occupants are fine, then I'm sorry for the loss of the car.

Once again send props to Nissan for building a car that's taken quite a few major wrecks on this forum and so far I haven't heard of anyone even as much as critically injured.

Happy holidays and safe driving.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
