Well, I totatalled out my ranger, empeg and everything... I ended up with 5 -7 fractures in my skull, 2 in my jaw, 1 in my cheek, 1 in my neck, 1 in a finger and 2 in my wrist ... was reported as fatality accident, but I managed to survive ... nothing is salvagable, and I'm typing one handed as I have no other option. Prolly the saddest, but happiest day of my life ... the accident happend about 15 days ago and I've only been getting around the last day or so.

Wow, so sorry to hear about the accident. Sounds like you're lucky to be alive. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

See if you can hang onto whatever's left of that empeg player. It's possible that you might be able to repair it, or at the very least, sell some of its parts as spares. Items such as the docking connector and display board are rather rare and might be useful to others.

Take care of yourself. The rest can be replaced but not you.

Thank you all, unfortunately there isn't anything salvagable the roof of the truck split the dash in half, pinning myself and causing a huge gash across my chest ... but nod I've definately put thing into perspective, the ratio the cops and paremedics gave me was 10000:1 ... cops via damage to vehichle and surrounding and peramedics from the damage to my body and all the internal bleed ... which includes the brain hemerages. I hurt but the drugs are good. =p Again, thank you for your thoughts.
