In time you will heal - that is a blessing in itself considering the speed and potential forces involved in such an impact. Thank goodness you're OK and relatively unscathed, albiet sore. If you find your way up to New Buffalo, Michigan, I'm working a project @ the Four Winds Casino. Beers are on me man!

Regarding DINAN, I'm not sure if those across the pond are privy to how significant an investment a DINAN tuned car is, or what the DINAN badge signifies. Here's a lil info on DINAN.

Glad you're not seriously injured. Good luck with the insurance company and the repairs, hope you and the car make a full recovery. Keep us posted.

+1

I didn't realize it was like Alpina is, or like AMG was before Mercedes swallowed them up. I still think the trunk badge is ugly though

I hope...its still lingering bad...they gave me vike's, not really helping anything....
That sucks. Keep a daily log of your pain, where it is, how severe it is and the meds you are taking to try and mitigate it -- and whether they are working. Your lawyer will want that trust me. The more detailed your log is the better. The key is that you make your entries contemporaneuously to what is happening and not after the fact. And the entries should be by you in your own words without consulting anyone as to what to write.
