So I have been creeping around here a lot for about the year I have owned my g37. I have a 2013 G37XS. Black with black wheels and black windows. Even windshield. Bought it in 2013 January. But didn't pick it up until about late February. The reason you may ask? Well in August 2012 I was in a super serious motorcycle accident. I was just newly home from Afghanistan. 2 months. And I was seeking the ultimate high you get when someone shoots at you. So I went an ATM. When I was riding I was wearing a Colts jersey a pair of jeans and flip flops. No helmet. But was wearing a pair of sunglasses. I was caught in the slip stream of the semi. When the truck took a turn I was forced outta the slip steam. My glasses slipped up my head/face. Well I let go of the throttle and reached for them. (Oakley's didn't wanna loose them). But when I did the bike went back into the slip stream. Corrected straight since it was in a turn. Once corrected straight I smoked a mailbox at around 50 mph. (Well I kinda smoked it the witnesses say I had pushed up off the tank and never hit the mailbox.) but when I landed I did the scorpion. My legs were over my left side with my calf muscles were laying flat on the ground. On the left side of my head. I am now a paraplegic and I drive with my hands. So that's why it. Took over 2 months since they. Had to put the controls in along with a racing harness. Any questions please ask. And I'm cool with talking about my accident. Oh and I'm not just a waist down. I'm a T7 complete. Basically the first set of abs down. I have no feeling. And I don't have the ability to use my core muscles. So I wear the harness to keep me up right when I'm driving hard.


Sorry so long. Just wanted to let you guys/gals know the whole story.

 

Sorry to hear of such a tragic accident, I'm sure it takes a lot just to talk about such a thing.
Sounds like you're making the best of the hand you've been dealt. Appreciate your Service to the country and I think you've found a great forum for support and anything related to your G.
I'm sure it would be interesting to hear what they did to your G to make it available for you.
