It's a very long story - but I'll try to be as brief as I can and tell you what occured.
First & foremost, the wife is OK except for some scratches, a lot of brusis, and a pretty messed-up sholder that she will be going into surgery for tomorrow morning to get fixed. She was pretty shaken up too - but we both are counting our lucky stars - it could have been much MUCH worse.
Today around 12-1230ish, she lost control of the 03 Cobra on Stanley Blvd. here in Livermore, CA next to an area called Shadow Cliffs. When she hit the curb it launch the car in the air through the fence, landed nose first on one imbankment, and then finally flipped and rolled down to another imbankment. Just a few more feet and the car would have gone into the lake... and who knows what would have happened then. Great thing is she was ok and came out of it alive.
Here a couple of pictures of the car following the accident.

The pictures of the car only tell you a little bit of what the car looked like afterwards... here's a couple of pics that show you the scope of just how lucky we both were.

Anyway - I'm going to be away from the boards for the next few days to take care of business here at the homefront and elsewhere - but I'll post a followup on how the surgery went tomorrow evening. Thanks in advance for everyone's understanding, and support.
