Default Mike Jung

Last Saturday night Mike was was in a car accident that totalled his beloved G8. He was I think on the Gardiner and got hit by a drunk driver. As I mentioned his car is a write off. He's at home, no serious injuries but bumped, bruised and beat up as well as feeling really sad about losing his car. If you're on FB there is a lot of info and conversation on his page. I just thought after a few days and he hasn't posted anything here I would. He's a good guy and I thought we all might want to know.

Wow, very sorry to hear this. Mike LOVED his G8. But a car can be replaced, a life cannot.
Damn drunk drivers really need to be beaten, when will they learn?!?!

Thanks for posting Mike. I wanted to say something but figured it's not my place if Mike already hadn't.

Sad though. Mike's a great guy. Luckily, no fatalities. The drunk driver will probably get a slap on the wrist too. We are very soft on DUI's in this province.

But Mike will be back. I can see him going for a CTS-V now.

Thanks Mike for posting...I wasn't planning on posting here.
As I didn't want the attention.

I was getting on the QEW in Mississauga; heading home Saturday night.
(I was drinking Diet Coke all night long).
& got crashed into by an impaired driver.
Totalling my G8.

For legal reasons.
& can't say much more than that.
I am in the middle of seeing an injury lawyer.

I had to clean up my Facebook wall...so the last few days are not visible any more.

Thanks to everyone for the concern

We're glad you're around to tell the story, and like many have said, cars can be replaced.

GET WELL SOON.
