Message Well... this wasn't what I needed...

I arrived back in DFW this morning at 12:03 from my honeymoon in St. Lucia. Easily the best week of my entire life. Everything was perfect. I slept in about an hour this morning and then left for a long day of playing catch-up at work.

It had been sprinkling all morning, so I was taking it VERY easy on the roads. I was doing 60 in the lane next to the farthest left. I went to merge into the far left lane... the car hydroplaned, rear end came out in front of me. My front passenger's side hit the concrete median. I spun back into the road and was smashed into by a Ford F350. I smashed into the opposite median where I came to rest.

After thanking God that I was alive and unscathed (other than hitting my head on the window and feeling the jolt of 3 or 4 hits by something or tother). I quickly called 911, made sure the guys in the truck were okay, and called my wife.

She's totalled. I'm sick to my stomach. I didn't cry when I blew up my Talon. I cried on the side of the road right in front of the Highway Patrol. They understood...

I'm sorting out my options... First choice would evidently be another Z that I can swap my parts into. The engine bay is still fine.

Comments are welcome, but go easy on me... it's been a rough day.
