Hello My Fellow Caford Members,

This is the first time I have been truly able to sit at a computer desk since my accident. I want to thank everyone who has shown their concern for me these past few days. What happened was very tragic and very possibly could have been fatal as well. My girlfriend and I were extremely lucky to have survived such a crash. She and I want to extend our gratitude to those at the scene the day it happened. I, personally, will not forget those who helped me and my friend out of my car, and sustained us until the ambulence arrived. To those who kept traffic moving and helped secure the scene, you know who you are as well.

Overall, I know that I will never forget what has happened to me and I hope this teaches everyone here a VERY valuable lesson. These cruises, while fun, should not be taken as permission to drive recklessly or fast. A cruise, by definition, means to go or move along, especially in an unhurried or unconcerned fashion. I think everyone here, myself included, should take that more seriously in future events.

From now on, my cruises will be speed monitored and strickly enforced and I expect our members to understand and comply. I realize, in the moment, speeding with your friends and goofing off is just another part of getting the most out of our shows and cruises. But how much are you willing to risk at the expense of yours or another's life?

I know that my friend's life is not worth it, the people around me do not want to die, and I certainly do not want to die.

I hope that my car's loss does not become your own. I also hope that my loss has served a purpose here for you all to be made aware of. Being on this site for some time, I know how much time, effort, and money we put into our "pride and joys." I also know firsthand how quickly it can be taken away from you.

People who knew me and my car, can testify how hard the road has been for me and my car to stay together all these years. The loss of February 19th, was a sad closure to an emotional struggle.

At this time, I appreciate all your pm's and hopes for my speedy recovery. Yet I implore that you no longer ask me to bring up what happened that day. My friends and I have already been asked to explain the story too many times to law enforcement, paramedics, and insurance companies as it is.

It's an on-going painful experience for me that I do not wish to keep re-living. I ask that you help me transition past this and wish me luck in my future endeavours.

At this time, I will continue to be your Cafords Events moderator so I hope any questions, concerns, in this area will still be directed my way. I have plans to begin organizing our first show of the year sometime in mid-april. I hope to see everyone is full force there, safe and sound.

Once again, thanks for all the encouragement and concern for me and my friend. All that we ask is that you drive safe wherever you go, and not take for granted what you can lose if you don't.

My Regards,
Lauren

Pretty much tells me what you were doing.

Hope you take the "live and learn" motto to heart and heal quickly.

All the best

Glad to hear you're alright and recovering. When you're all healed up Hungry Hippo's idea might not be a bad consideration.

Get well soon and drive again another day!!!
