[Shotimes] Demise of my White '93 MTX

[Ian Fisher]

The car is no big deal in the grand scheme of things.
I'm glad to see that you were ok enough to write the
email. I'd definitely stay on top of the neck/back
injury. IIRC, you already have some back issues do I
don't need to tell you twice. The "experts" now
believe that bedrest makes things worse (I have to
agree in most cases) but overdoing it isn't good
either. Make sure you talk to someone and find a happy
medium and take care of yourself. Good luck! Sorry to
hear about this. I'm sure it puts a damper on things..
