We’re okay.  I have a broken foot, wife and kids have seatbelt bruises, wife sprained a couple knuckles, and son has a bruised rib or two from the left rear door (during the spin).  I was pinned at both feet, individually.  Left foot was pinned between the E brake and some floorboard, and my right foot was pinned between some floorboard and the center console.  Wife and kids (truely) walked away,, and I “walked away” on a stretcher.  
 
Now to see what insurance says.

I'm sorry to hear about your accident.  It was a horrible event and you and your family will need time to heal.  Make sure you take care of the non-physical injuries for the whole family.

I hope you all make a full recovery and are made whole.  I used to live in the AV and know those areas well.  I'm also tagging in you in another thread.

Meanwhile,........ back to the $50.00 and under mods.

 

For the new round-headed flapper valve:

2 ea. screw clamps,

1 pc. 3/4"x3" scrap strap.

Rotate the flapper valve fully clock-wise and clamp tight.

Enjoy the exhaust tone.

I’d like to hear the difference this makes.

Couple bucks of tinted vinyl really changes the look of the front.

Few more dollars transforms the interior.

Could you make a video of how bright the turn signals are with the vinyl

No video yet but here is a pic of the hazards right after applying the film. This vinyl really doesn't have much affect on the visibility of the lights.  Still the stock incandescent bulbs.

I made one, not sure if he used the same tint I don’t find any problems with seeing the light.
