Hey everyone, Im just getting home from the hospital now. THere was about 30-40 people (family and friends) that took over the waiting room in the surgery area, and the icu area.
Shes gone through 2 surgeries already. one was to remove her spleen, the ohter was to put a "halo" around her mid-section, because in the accident her pelvic bone broke.
After both surgeries, she was moved to ICU, restrained, and sedated. She's going to be kept under for the next couple of days to stabalize, and then they're going to medi-vac her to jefferson to undergo more surgeries. most likely going to have to remove one of her kidneys.
The accident was caused by her blacking out behind the wheel of her car on 95. she was in the far right hand lane, and when she blacked out, jerked left. 2 cars hit her, drivers side. She was not wearing her seat belt. The troopers said if she WAS wearing it, she would be dead from the impact of the other 2 cars.
thank you everyone for all of the thoughts and prayers.

Can’t really argue with the list, democracy has spoken and it appears a million minds are wiser than ten. If I was to think anything should be on the list that isn’t, it should either be a Nissan Armada (but its a better execution of the same thing as the Aspen, so no-go there) or the Scion xB.
Given how far the xB de-volved from generation-to-generation, its like looking at a evolution chart from chimp to man in reverse. All these vehicles on the list are either first-run losers, or “legacy” losers that are merely continuing the tradition. The current xB is the biggest fall-off from what was an original, market-unique machine into a bean-countered Rubbermaid-on-wheels. That shoulda been worth something

I read his post wrong i thought he was talking about the first gen....but as far as the new xB being one of the ten worst i wouldnt agree because even though it may weigh more and is a little bigger and some may not like the look it still is a solid reliable car for the money

you cant say its a solid reliable car *YET* this is the first generation of this car, theres bound to be problems with it. Knock on wood, there isnt any.
If you're basing that off of toyotas history, then no, there shouldnt be any problems. But like I said, this is the first "run" of this car.

did you guys see they caught the guy that show the cop in dunkin donuts. he took a bus to Miami. he is going to be returned to philly prob 2morow. they said they are going to use the handcuffs of the cop he shot to shackle him.
Officer Cassidys viewing was around the corner from my house. My friend Karen (her uncle was partners with him on the force) had to wait for 2.5 hours to pay her respects. The line was well over a mile long.
