FDE is alive but the Scooby Van is dead
 

(this is the wife)...

Stevo was in an accident this morning and it wasn't his fault. He was in the middle lane and some bigwig in a dealer Tahoe decided he was in a big hurry to get on the highway, shot across to the middle lane from the onramp and clipped Stevo's van's front right corner with the back left end of his vehicle. The van spun around, flipped onto it's left side and slid and then landed back onto it's wheels. Stevo was holding onto his custom steering wheel (that I bought as an anniversary present many years back) so hard that he ripped it loose. He's okay (bruised and very sore) but his 1965 Chevy Van is totaled. FDE is very sad but very thankful that he's gonna be okay. I know you all are his friends and I'm not sure why I wanted to start this topic, but I wanted you all to know...

but did it mess up his hair?

Tell him that we are glad he's okay and expect him to ready by the 24th. I'll give him a ride if he needs one...

Glad to hear he is OK. Send my best wishes from his favorite pinko commie liberal, Saulbadguy.

Glad to hear Steve is ok!

Get better man!

Dang... glad he is ok.

NOOOooooo! :cuss:



Glad Stevie's OK though.

How in the hell are we supposed to be expected to believe this after the fake motorcycle accident 2.5 years ago?

i'm also glad stevie's ok. it's a bad deal about the van though. i suppose rain man had it pegged in the death pool thread.
sec

I'm glad to hear that he's okay. That'd be a scary wreck.

I'll bet this wasn't an accident, either. I'll bet that the Scooby Van was sabotaged by some guy who wanted to take control of an amusement park and was pretending to be a ghost.

Damn.

You sure he's not First Down Super Dave?

Wow! Glad Stevo’s alright though.

glad stevie wasn't seriously hurt...

tell him get well quick!

(sorry 'bout the van - it was a classic...)

Yeah.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

After he recovers from his bruises, maybe you can start on a new costume for him.

It is my belief that Tackle Me Elmo would play well at Arrowhead.

Elvis has NOT left the building

Glad to hear Stevie's OK. Get well, bro.

Everything would have been fine if it weren't for those meddling kids.
:cuss:

Glad to hear he's OK

Dang!... Coulda been one less vote for Bush. :hmmm: ...
Just kidding. ;) I'm glad he's OK.

Thank goodness that FDE is alive to fight another day!!

Does anyone else think that Jazzzlovr or Slayer might
have had something to do with this?

Good one, Osama. wink.

And he'd have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for those meddling kids..

Here's the funny part...

When he got into the trooper's car to follow the van off the highway, the trooper asked him,

"Anybody ever tell you that you look like Elvis?"

That is no lie...

We're home now but getting ready to go to where they towed the van to. There's paint spilled all in the inside (go figure) and we have to start clearing it out, pulling speakers/stereo, rims, etc. The accident was not his fault and the van was in very good condition so who knows what that means...I know it's not replaceable though. Stevo was moving pretty good when I picked him up but he's starting to get a little stiff and uncomfortable. Thanks for all the kind words.

Dammit. Too slow..

So was the other driver insured? Or did he even stop?

Sure - EVERYBODY's a victim. Sack up, TackleMeElmo. The sun will come out tomorrow.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW MRS. STEIVIE!!!!


Steivie, THANK GOD YOU ARE ALRIGHT!!!!


I don't know how I didn't catch this thread sooner.

Sooner than what? 20 minutes ago?

Glad to hear that you're OK, FDE. Don't pig out too much while you're laid-up. You could become CTE.

As for the van, you might seek legal counsel on that. It is old enough to be considered an antique and with the shape it was in, it may actually have more value than what one would initially think.

I had a wreck back in 91. I was driving an old datsun pickup (it was 20 years old and in really good shape) and was rear ended. The lady's insurance company tried to total it and give me a few hundred bucks for it. I held off and argued with them. I ended up keeping the truck, fixing it, and putting more cash in my pocket afterwards than they initially offered.



BTW, I'll second Phobia's motion for an First Down Elmo suit.

(Bob Dole is patiently awaiting the Tackle Me Elmo Photoshop job...)

I know you said he is "OK", but does he have any injuries, bumps or bruises?

After hearing that his van spun around, flipped on its side, then rolled back upright and onto its wheels, I must ask if he will be changing his name to First Down Evil Kenievel? (sp?) Then, he'd be FDEK.

I've been sitting here in the office for the last hour doing nothing but watching the history channel and cruising the planet so, yeah, I should have caught it like 18 minutes sooner.

I'm glad Steve's alright........Send the Iowanian clan's best wishes for a speedy recovery. Tell him to be sure and have his neck checked out in a couple of days if it is bothering him at all. The biggest mistake he can make is being too "tough".

Good thing he had the FDE hairspray helmet on, or there may have been some drain bamage.

That's actually funny. Shockingly funny. I'll throw you some rep, I guess.

Ouch! I'm glad he came out of it fairly well. :hmmm: As a bonus, it's the bye week so no chance of him jumping up and down after a bad call. :) He won't have to "Elvis up" until Oct 24th. By that point in time, he should be off IR and ready for game day.:thumb:

FDE...........relax my man...........you've got the bye week to recover.

Give a jingle if you need any FDE Security we discussed. I'd look cool in a cape.

Is FDE stevieray?

Doesn't make any difference.
Whoever he is, I'm glad to hear that he's ok.

Oh My, tell him that both Roy's and family says hello and heal up fast !

Most Thankful he's OK........

Oh, ok.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Glad to hear stevieray is ok. What a crappy way to start the day!!! Get well soon - oh and by the way, did I mention my mural ROCKS? I'm still pretty much in awe - I just go downstairs and stair at the damn thing! Incredible job.

Well good to know FDE is all right. Everytime I see him on the TV its like Cheers but instead of "NORM!" we yell "First Down Elvis!" or "ELVIS!"

Thanks for letting us know. Glad stevie is NOT seriously injured.

So what have you got against him? ROFL

Bob Dole was going to suggest that he might get his own material (see previous "Super Dave" reference). Thanks for encouraging groupthink.

I am so bummed about this news. I really enjoyed riding in the Scooby-mobile. I am very happy you are ok, Steve. Just get yourself better & don't worry too much about a vehicle. All it is is metal, it can be replaced. I will give you a call when I get a chance, in San Jose at the moment.

my sentiments exactly... That dude in the Tahoe needs neutered.

Bummer about the Chevy Van... sounds dope. However, with your mad painting skills, youll have the cash to get something even cooler...

Glad you are okay.

He's a dick. :D



Thanks for pointing that out.

Yea, I noticed that too. Guess they thought 12 ounces of that swill would be too much.

Oh - well I guess I didn't know who Super Dave was.... Maybe it's all your fault for choosing a lesser known daredevil.

Damn ... good to hear he's okay. Shame about the Mystery Machine, though.

Tell him I'm sending positive energy his way.

MM
~~:)

It's hard to get much cooler than the Snoopy van. That thing kicked ass.

Lesser known daredevil who had his own topic this week... Of course, you were so busy tweaking the rep system that you probably missed it.

Rep to you for that.

Damn, sure am glad to hear Stevie is OK...FDE would be lost without his business manager.....

I dont care who you are... that is funny right there..

I was trying to make him feel better about the situation. :banghead:

Oh. Well, the only way to get cooler than that would be to restore a 1950's hearse. Now THAT would completely kick ass.

Just curious. Not getting personal I hope. But "Rana!?"... Is that an American name? Back where I come from that is a gals' name. Means "of elegant stature."

It was written by his wife, Rana

I was just kidding...... Sheesh! ;)

Reading Comprehension 101 classes will begin shortly...

Yeah I figured as much. Just was wondering about the origins of the name.

I hope you have taken it when you read my post again as well as 68. ;)

I'm not sure if this will answer your question, but that name came with her when Steve picked her out of the catalogue.

Glad you are alright Stevie. Sorry about your van.

Glad your OK Stevie. Sucks about your van, man.

That's odd. Where I come from, it means "of a stumpy build."

ROFL
What kind of catalogue? ;)

Y'know, it just occurred to me. Are there now only 49 ways to leave your lover?

Sorry about the van, but look on the bright side, now you can get a real car like a 85 Ford Thunderbird or something.

Screw that, get a big gas guzzl’n SUV that never leaves the pavement. It’s the American way.

I fact, FDE, if your interested I’ve got a friend that’s selling his Suburban due to divorce. It’s an older one but its 4X4 and in good shape.
Let me know if interested and I’ll find out the specifics.

Steve - Address of the perp is all we need.

Glad to hear you are okay.

Sorry to hear about the wreck, hope he isn't too bruised up. Had to be a heck of a ride.

This thread is worthless without pictures...

DT

Bummer; glad to hear he's are doin' okay though.

Get better soon Stevie!

Said a prayer for you Steve-io...

Hope it's nothing serious...

Hope your feelin better soon, car wrecks suck. Best wishes from BD and lil momma.

Glad to hear you're alright. Get well soon!
