Great to hear your boy is well!! When my son first got his license, he
pulled out in front of a 3/4 ton Ford pick'em-up truck. The truck struck
him with its front right, making first contact onto the Syncro's driver
side headlight and tearing across the front, pretty much wiping out the
front, minus any vitals......just plain luck (no injury to either party.)
He drove the Syncro home, but the Ford had to be towed. Its front right
quarter panel crumbled into the wheel, trapping it and puncturing the
tire. The radiator was history too and spilled its guts at the scene. I
was pretty amazed, having always wondered about the van's structural
integrity.
I will always remember how concerned I was when he was late coming home. I
sat and sat in the front yard, then, hearing that familiar waterboxer
coming around the corner, the first thing I saw was the antenna sticking
out at a weird angle.....and I knew. He pulled into the driveway and
promptly crawled into the back, crying. He knew how much I loved my
Syncro......I was just happy he without injury.
Good Luck. Miguel
