Hopefully you saved the cowl tag to later affix to a Dynacorn body.

I was at the junkyard in Arlington Heights 9 days later looking at the wreck. They couldn't believe I was driving the car. If the angle was different I would have shot into the tree, if I had a seatbelt on I would have walked away. The 3 days I don't remember that I'll never forget!

Amazing you were able to walk after that.
Were you on a test drive about to buy the car, or was it up for sale by you?

You do realize you were driving on those recalled Firestone 500 radials don't you? I think you should immediately call a lawyer and start suing Firestone.

You were definitely a lucky man to survive that one. 99.9% of the poeple who are thrown from a wreck like that, don't live to tell about it.

It appears you may be better off collecting them then driving them!
