let your thoughts be with him, and his family!

Thanks for the well wishes guys But like James said it was nothing serious. I still can't breathe deep, my right arm feels num and I have restricted movement on the right side nothing is broken. Just alot of internial bruising egp and other wise. I don't think I would have bin willing to go to the hospital even with the hard to breathe issue but all the cracking I heard as the car started to squwish me scared the crap out of me. As for work we will see what the family doctor say's monday

Thanks again
Chris

Man...all I can say is your one lucky guy! When I started to read this post it brought back some seriously bad memories for me. About five years ago I lost a very good friend when his  Z-28 fell on him and crushed him. He was around the same age as me and had a wife and 2 little girls....very sad . We were close and we spent alot of time in my dads garage working on our Suzuki jeeps...he's missed by alot of people!.
Well, take care and get well soon Chris.
