OT: Need Your Prayers!

My thoughts are with your girlfriend's family. Let me guess, not wearing a seatbelt. We had three high school students killed in car crashes over the past two weeks... alcohol was involved in the two crashes but not one person in student's cars were wearing seatbelts. Not that this lecture will help his situation right now, but hopefully others who know him will learn to wear their seat belts.

Lee, As a friend to a friend I think the seatbelt lecture was poorly timed. Regards, Calvin

Aaron was a passenger in the backseat, and NO seatbelt was worn by him,however the other four young people are ok with only minor injuries, and YES I always wear a seatbelt and insist on everyone in my vehicles do the same!

I feel for you and Aaron and wish him the best. Are you sure that a blown tire was the cause? Jeep Libertys are having a major problem with front ball joints separating. Recently, I was in a Chrysler dealership for a few minutes and two Jeeps came in on flatbeds. One Jeep looked like a new Liberty so I took a closer look and the right, lower ball joint had ripped out. The owner said that he was just pulling into a parking space. We just imagined what would have happened if he was going around a corner on a highway. Jeep now has a recall for these ball joints on Libertys. I would get a lawyer to look into it and possibly sue DaimlerChrysler. It won't make Aaron better, but it may pay for medical expenses, recovery, etc. Good luck!

after seeing firsthand how occupied chrysler products are constructed I am convinced they are retaliating for their WW2 loss to the U.S. and our allies.

No seatbelt whatever...He was just 15...

lets pray like we were asked too and and teach him his lessons when he recovers..thanks to all our prayers here...

Please God give this kid back his chance at his life...We all make mistakes but give this boy his health back...One day he will make you all proud !

A few years ago, we were returning to Houston from Dallas in our recently acquired Chrysler LHS. It made the round trip on one tank, & had performed beautifully. On the way back, I had been cruising between 75 & 80 with no problems. Pulling into the driveway, I commented to the boss lady how well the car had done. I shlepped the luggage into the house while she drove around the corner to the neighbor who had kept the dog. She called later & told me that the car would not move. I went over & saw that the front wheels were pointing in opposite directions. One of the tie rods had come loose from the sector when a bolt had backed off. It was an easy fix, but I was SO very thankful that it happened in the neighbor's driveway, & not on I-45 at 80 mph. Apparently, some idiot had worked on the steering, & failed to bend the keeper tabs back over the bolt heads when he was finished. His mistake could gotten us killed. My prayers are with Aaron.
