[...] Estate Guy. His posts give you an insight into who he is and he even shared about how his son got in a car accident and was thankfully ok. Posts like that show that you are a real person, not just a robot selling [...]

OMG Jay – I agree wth everyone else and thank God that the people are OK. Equipment can always be replaced, but not the kids.

I think I'll just put my kids in bubble-wrap going forward…

Yikes! I just the read the whole story! I didn't see the link pointing to http://www.phoenixrealestateguy.com/one-phone-cal… – Sorry about that.

I just wanted to add something to this. You said that Francy had opposed the idea and she was a bit concerned about your son's driving and safety. She was right?! Not becuase you were wrong because from what I read, you sound like a great father who believes in his son and is very very supportive! But you know what, mothers have this very weird instinct, this 6th sense that we as guys don't really have. I don't know but it seems that there is a connection between a mother and her children and somehow she knows what's going to happen more often than the father. I am saying this because this happened to my many times. Most of the times when my mother warned me about something and I didn't listen, it actually came true!!!

I am so glad your son is fine now! Seatbelts and airbags are life savers!

First of all, Thank God he survived it. Secondly, Oh – My – God!? What did they hit? Or what hit them? I mean that's one nasty blow!! Your son is lucky to have survived that but seriously, you gota tell us, how did that happen?

Jay – Thank God no one died or was seriously injured! I hope your son (and you) are not too scared to let him get behind the wheel again. I know I'd be scared, but there is a lot of truth in the adage about getting back in the saddle as soon as possible after falling from the horse.

thank goodness your son and his friends are ok, looking at those pictures, you'd think that the person behind the wheels could be in real trouble…

Thanks for all the comments and kind words folks.

It was a single-car accident, so no others (except a large and very sturdy pine tree) were harmed.

As for the air bags, hard to know if they helped, but they certainly didn't hurt (aside from the burns from them on James' forearms). But far better to have minor burns than a steering wheel to the face/chest.

We consider ourselves very, very lucky.

And we consider the safety and design engineers at Infiniti our new best friends.

God bless your son and I truly hope that he get's better. Here's a toast to the Infinity that potentially saved his life, and a hope for a safer future!

OMG! I would have totally had a laundry problem after seeing the car! I hope y'all bought some lottery tickets, because you sure are lucky he survived!

Jay,

I could deal with the first photo and was thankful for all, but when I saw the second photo, all I could was OMG! Holy crap and thank goodness they all are well. Sorry for cursing on your blog, but Geez Louise!!!!
