Given the situation, he couldn't be in a better hospital. I was at Barrow/St. Joseph's after I fell and crushed c11 and c12. One of the finest neuro hospitals in the world.

Crazy, but the Challenger weighs a little bit more than my 300C SRT-8. Cold air intake, Flowmaster exhaust and 2800 Pro-Torque converter. My car has run 13.1 to 13.2. With my 110 pound grandson driving, it's run 13.0's.

I bought a Factory Rebuilt Sig .40 and haven't had a bit of trouble with it. I sold my Glock .45 as the recoil was such a PITA it wasn't fun to shoot. The .40 is a nice compromise. The 9MM is a little light for home defense.
