That's terrible news Gary, but at least you and your gear survived. But I know it's still a drag that you won't get true value of the van you lost.

I keep wishing California would make it illegal to use a handheld cellphone while driving. Barely a day goes by that I don't have a cellphone user do something stupid on the freeway around me. The worst thing is that most of the time they aren't even aware of the problems they are causing until something like Gary's collision happens.
