Bullfighter in Hospital - Hit head-on by DUI

Medical pot it is not to use to drive or consume behind the wheel. Good luck with the Defense on that one. The entire car community needs to take note.

 

Just received an email from Amanda's campaign that it is closed and all donation will go to the family. It was advised that other campaigns for her cause will be launched soon.

92 people in 1 day raised over $16,000 for Jon. Let's keep it going

 

san diego news just reported an update minutes ago. they finally released Amanda's name and confirmed her passing. there was no mention of the go fund me page nor any mention of jon's health.

they also made no mention of the offending driver other than she was believed to be stoned.

 

This is a horrible thing that happened, I'm so sad to read about it. I saw the story about Jon's car on Petrolicious and thought it was great, and though I don't seem to remember any specific exchange with him here, I can see he was a very popular guy. I think it is amazing that the FChat community is rallying around this, and will try to donate some money soon.

Best wishes to Jon, and to Amanda's family in this hard time.

 

Won't work on my iPhone. Put in info and it just keeps putting the progress bar up. Is it just me?

 

Hmm I have an ad blocker. That may be the problem.

 

she is currently detained. she was unable to post her $3mm bail.

pm me if there is anything I can do.

Utterly brutal news, so sorry to read the news in this thread

 

There is an almost overwheling amount of sadness in this long thread. Injury, death, family woe, health strife, legal issues, anger, sorrow, loss. But I wrote ALMOST. Because look at the one shining spot of greatness...
All these people with almost nothing in common, many of whom aren't personal friends with Bullfighter or even with each other, who sometimes even snipe each other, coming together to help someone merely because they are part of a website, because we share a silly car hobby, because we all have some affiliation to liking Ferraris or Porsches - machines, fun as they may be, essentially truly soulless (despite my "love" of my cars).
I think it is beautiful - the outpouring of well wishes and time and energy and prayers and poetry. And these things are happening, really, because each person feels it is the right thing to do. The moral certitude that helping someone in need is the proper action. How great is this?
I'm proud to be a part of FerrariChat today. Even if I don't own an Fcar anymore. This is quite a collection of good people.


(feeling human and sappy today)

 

thank you for stating what I have been marveling at. I just wish we could turn back time

 

Hi Robb,

I'm in the San Diego area and will do anything I can, just let me know...

I have to add to the already stated sentiments, that I am gutted that Amanda's life was cut short and her beloved children, Jon, family and friend's lives will never be the same due to a senseless act of self absorption.

Community takes many forms these days, and this outpouring is an example that caring still exists in pure form.

May Amanda's memory be eternal. My continued fervent prayers for Jon's recovery and peace, and for Amanda's family and friends.

 

Well said! Truly amazing to see how a group of individuals mostly never met coming together and pull this off. Only because of the basic humanity of care for others!

 

Great post Jonathan!

 

Friends,

We are all part of this community and I think of all of you as family. When one of us is hurting we all are. When one of us needs help we will all pitch in...

Rob

 

Amen. I'm a pcar guy, didn't know Jon. But we are all part of a special community and I have been moved greatly by this and my heart goes out to Jon, Amanda, her kids, and their families.

Lost my mind and got a Harley 18 months ago. I've also found that the biker community is similar, shared interest and a common bond, lots of good folks no matter how gnarly they look.

 

Just saw this. My God, how horrible. Wishing Jon a speedy recovery.

My heart goes out to Amanda's family and children.

 

Such horribly sad news. My thoughts are with Jon and the 2 boys.

 

Such sadness ... and frustration with the offending driver.

And then again, the people here ... so sweet. Fchat has some great people. I don't know most all of the names here, didn't know Jon from the FF corner where I hang, but am copying the Sig, and will gladly pay to the fund.

He has a great smile, I hope it shines again on another day. And the boys, prayers for them.

 

What an absolutely amazing community!!

I consider myself extremely privileged to know each of you, even if only through the pixels on my computer screen.
