Bro we are thinking of you! Effer must have been flying to have done that much damage to a big arse truck! Funny thing, we fly around on the edge of control at the dunes, no stop signs no lights and no real direction of traffic and I feel so much safer at glamis than I do on the US 60 driving home at night.
I know we are a long way away but let us know if you need anything from us!

James, real sorry to hear about the accident. Hoping u make a full recovery so you can get on with your life & back to the dunes!
Was actually talking about you earlier tonight. Told my buddy how gracious & awesome it was that you and Ian gave me those rides 3 & 1/2 years ago that VERY hot May day. First time in a LT & have not looked back since...except to see where my 60k & counting has went.

Worth every penny though, Best Wishes
