What's a Little Neck Injury Anyway ?
« on: September 06, 2007, 07:28:53 AM »
Twenty-four years ago this month (around the time McQueen died)
some guy ran into my Chev. Celebrity on I-395 into D.C --right after we had both jumped onto
the HOV lane about 10 minutes early.
Whiplash--hospital visit etc.
About a week later I get a letter from this guy's lawyer offering me a decent sum of money if I'll
sign some form.
The amount of money is almost the same as the price on a '67 Triumph TR-6
that I had my eye on.
I sign the form.
My neck still hurts !
But the bike is a beauty !--European spec. with QD rear wheel !.

It's not so bad, lived here all my life(so far).

So Ger, the law here in VA is you are allowed 3 times your medical expences and it sounds like you made out. Cool!!!
