    - Went on the median strip
    - Flipped to the side
    - Hit a pole
    - Somehow flipped back right side up and into on-coming traffic in the opposite direction
    - Hit by a truck coming down the road

    Our prayers go to all concerned.

    When I see that a person has been taken from us, I figure that God said his time here was done and he needed him for something else.

    May he find happiness in his new calling.

    A blues DJ here on Pacifica signs off his show with this every Saturday morning:

    "Remember we are only on this Earth for a short while..tomorrow is not promised to us, so go out TODAY and do your best to make someone happy......"

    And as I've heard it phrased best..."they've gone on ahead."

    My sincere condolences also to you, Omar, and your friend's family and friends.

    I hope you and all who knew him can remember the good times, and whoever the DJ is (that BigTex quoted) is spot on.

    Maybe you are too shocked to consider any practicalities at this time, but maybe you and all others could consider getting a LifeHammer tool installed in your car within easy reach of the occupants (www.lifehammer.com), also heed the advice of Jim (Napolis) regarding fire systems, as found in post #72 of this thread: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=130081&page=4

    My thoughts go with you.

    Rich.
