1997 Aerostar roll over on Rt. 55. My sweet Ethyl is not well.

[Delaware Valley Daredevil]

April 2016 Ethyl and I were headed home from Philly and everything was right with the world. All of the sudden there was styrofoam all over the place. The lift truck company van in front of me was not paying attention and slammed on his brakes dead. I headed into the median and it looked as if my Aerostar Cargo passed right through the rear corner of the vehicle. I barely had control and missed two trees but a small clump of brush sent us slightly air born and rolled us over. The Ford was still running so I reached up to turn her off and (in true Delaware Valley Daredevil fashion) walked out through the rear door to a gasp from bystanders. I ended up with some nerve damage and a concussion. My sweet Ethyl saved my life and did not fair as well. She’s pretty wrinkled and the A-arm was bent as the towing company righted her. She’s missing the front door windows but I can’t believe the windshield is still intact. My Ethyl. She still fires right up and rolls down the road. My Ethyl......my sweet Ethyl......

Glad you survived!

Thank you. I know I should feel lucky but it just keeps getting worse. Insurance is not cooperating, concussion is not helping, lost my job and no money left. Sorry to sound so desperate but I'm fightin'. This ass whoopin's really got me this time.

I'm sorry to hear this, I hope you situation improves and you land a sweet job and get the medical help you need. Sounds like a tough car you got there, kept you alive.

Thanks so much, everyone here seems so real. I'm not sure what to do with Ethyl. She did save life, but I think I need the money. I'd like to sell her for parts but complete, not parted out.
