oh my god. Tell him to forget about the car and to focus on how lucky he
is. My dad was killed in December 2001 when a truck crashed into his car.
I start to shake every time I hear about an accident - thank god your
nephew's accident didn't turn out to be a tragic one.

Wow, your nephew and his passengers really are lucky. It is not unusual to
read about people who have been killed in that type of collision. I know it
is painful to lose his car, but at least that can be replaced. His life (or
health) couldn't be. What a blessing!

Calming and soothingpurrs to you and the rest of your family. Bum about the
car, too, but thank goodness they are all ok. Depending on your religous
persuausion, is there any way you can say "thanks" to The Powers That Be for
this miracle?

I'll be lighting a candle in thanks for the amazing luck that your Nephew,
his girlfriend and his Mom had.

(Piggybacking as I seem to have missed the original post)

Wow, Karen, that's a miracle. I know he's bummed about the car, but
that is *not* looking on the bright side. It's too bad you guys are
so far away from where I live, or I'd be tempted to ask if I could
come rub his head for luck. :-P
