John Lingenfelters' Status

For everyone who hasn't heard, Johns' condition has taken a turn for the worse.

I for one, will be saying a prayer for the man.
Hope everyone will do the same.

I'm gonna be pissed if something happens to him.. : / I'll be hoping for him. That man's a genius..even if his cars are overpriced. But then again, they are blisteringly fast. Did you read in the article near the bottom..they got the 2002 Lingenfelter 427 Twin Turbo, which was running 9.25's at 150 before, they pushed it to 8.95 at 153. :hail: :hail: :hail:

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Lingenfelter's in bad shape, a lot of people I know are getting sick, a girl I might be hooking up with has a cyst on her face that if meds dont fix it she has to be operated on.....one of my best friends got rear-ended a few days ago pretty badly..for the 2nd time in 2 weeks. He had torn ligaments in his back from the first time..now it's worse, he can hardly move without pain...not to mention his classic Rustang's rear end is a total mess. Not so merry of a Christmas this year...

Torn Ligaments are VERY VERY painfull . Im feeling for him ! My Dad had some torn ligaments in his knee . I saw the pain he went through , I can't imagine having them in your neck .

My prayers are with Mr Lingenfelter and your friends .

Yeah..they're around his neck just a little and all down his back..doctor said there's a lot of them. He's on all sorts of pain pills. Those classic cars aren't very safe...all he had was a lap belt..the seats aren't even full size seats, they're like half seats...no headrest at all and the seat ends like 3/4 of the way up your back..major whiplash potential...

i feel you on the bad luck sentiments. I've had 5 friends total 5 cars in 3 weeks. One rolled her car (90 GP) after she ran through a telephone pole at 70 (BAC of .138), two more total their cars when one t-boned the other one, a friend who totalled his s-10 when he fell asleep on the interstate and drove a guardrain through the passenger side, and finally a friend who totalled out his 2001 stang gt, did 80, lost it on the ice, flipped it 5 times, hung upside down for an hour and a half before he was found. Unlike the others who escaped with minor injuries (the drunk friend had 80 stitches and a fractured shoulder, rest walked away), he broke his hip, his knee, his jaw, his collarbone and a few ribs.
