That was indeed a post from the heart. The senseless losses that occurr from simply not paying attention is true and unjust for sure.
I had a friend just last year that had just finished restoring a vintage GTO (and it was sweet). In less than a week the car was mangled by a young college kid that was tuning a radio (when they should have been paying attention to the road).
The college kid was in the hospital for a short while but is ok. However my friend will be permanantly damaged. He seems to sit and stare off into space all the time in a world of his own, cries alot, and doesn't seem to sleep much.
No he wasn't hurt in the crash, he wasn't even in the car. And no he doesnt do these things cause he misses the car.
But he sure does miss his dog "joker" that was in the car at the time. This dog he had had for 17 years and was his best friend in the world. And had been a birthday present from his daughter just before she was found strangled in the park near thier home. A victim of a stupid mugging.
