my son fell asleep at the wheel and got broadsided. My son is O.K. the vibe is totaled.

Glad he's OK. Sorry about the car, I enjoyed the Spiderman theme!

bummer

Glad to hear he is OK!!

Glad your son is ok.

Glad to hear your son is ok, Sheldon. Sorry to hear about the Vibe, but it did it's job by keeping your son alive. Spidervibe will be missed.

That sucks, but glad he's OK. (for the Vibe) (for your son)

Glad he's OK. Another Vibe/Matrix gives it's life to save it's owner. They are tough little cars

Glad to hear your son is okay Sheldon. Sorry to hear about the Vibe though .

Glad your son is okay...sorry to hear about your Vibe.

thanks everyone I'm sure i'll have some stuff for sale like my aftermarket grill and bug deflector, light weight alt and crank pulleys, VVT filter. ect

Sorry to hear about the vibe. Glad to know these cars are so safe and your son walked away unscathed.

Wow, so sorry to hear that but so glad your son is ok.

As the others have said, I'm glad your son is OK! Sad to see your Vibe go, it was a nice car.

Glad your boy is A O K and is unharmed by the incident!and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not spydie! loved the look of your vibe Sheldonso as tough as it is to say, what will be the future replacement to spydie?

don't now yet

Glad your son is ok .

Yes glad to hear it wasn't worse news

Late to the party, as always, but sorry to hear....Now, and when your son is feeling a little better.... beat the crap out of him. Well, I couldn't just say what everyone else has already said over and over..... could I?Seriously now, sorry to hear of this. It's always sad to lose a metal friend you really liked, but it can be replaced. Your son? Well, technically he could be replaced too, but.... For what it's worth (especially after making such an a$$ out of myself,) my first car was a '57 Chevy. I had wanted one from the time I was about 10yrs old. I replaced the engine (327ci) and clutch (11" HD) and did some other personalising work to it, like chrome the valve covers, replace the air cleaner w/a chrome aftermarket and added a 4bbl carb (AT 16!!)6 months after I got my license I too was broad-sided (for Keithvibe & Xmasguy, @ Park Ave and 248, when Palmer Park Mall was just being built in 1973.) The bumpers were out being re-plated (I had an older friend who was in the business @ Keystone Plating... yes, the wheel people) so the car had none at the time of the wreck just the brackets remained, and all the cop could say is, "Where are your bumpers, Son?" Like that would have helped in a broad-side situation. I was charged with the accident, which I would argue to this day. I spent 6 months before talking the guy who owned the car previously into selling it to me. I had what at the time, seemed like tons of time and all my money tied up into her, and had her for only 10 months in total (bought her in late January, but my 16th wasn't until early May.) I felt horrible about it then and even to this day really.

Glad to hear you son's OK.

yea pinched. You try and instruct but young people know all just like I did when I was young. Everybody wheather your going to school or work in the A. M. give yourself plenty of time to wake up, have some breakfast and make sure your awake if thaty means getting up 1/2 hour early so be it. sleeping in an extra 15 min is not worth maybe never seeing a loved one again.

Glad your son's ok.

wow. sorry to hear the car's total, but as we all know, cars are replaceable, people are not. And I would imagine after that, your son will be a little more gun shy about falling asleep at the wheel or even driving if he's sleepy. I know that would scare the bejeebus out of me!Also, it makes me realize I'm getting old because I remember meeting your son at the GVC meet and he was definitely NOT of age for driving or permit driving! LOL
