Well guys, although I'm still in shock that the vehicle I loved more than any other is gone and that my favorite project is over, I'm very thankful to still be here on this earth with all of you tonight. On the way home from work today, while driving my PROJECT FJ35LV on a down hill freeway offramp, I blew out a wheel cylinder and lost my brakes. Headed towards an intersection with a light that had just changed to green for crossing traffic, I was only able to down shift and try to steer clear of driving through another vehicle. Although still moving about 60mph, I was able to slice between two vehicles but was struck between the driver side doors by a vehicle traveling about 15mph. The impact spun me 360 degrees and threw me on my driver side while I slid about 60' roof first into a 10" thick pole. No body in the other vehicle was injured and I made it out with only a very stiff neck and body, abrasions to my left arm, cuts to my face and and lower eyelid, and bleeding in my right eye. Again, I'm just thankful to be alive and that the accident didn't kill or even injure anyone else. The LV on the other hand is completely toast.
