The ambulance shows its plates but the state/province is not readable, someone should recognize the plate though.
Binghamton, New York, luckily no more than bumps and bruises, but then again we all know the big pains come a few days latter

What a shame about Chris & Josie's beautiful car. Glad they are okay though. Could have been so much worse.

Steve, contact me, I am pretty sure I have all the parts you need for your car. I don't think it will take much convincing to get you back to Louisiana though. - You're welcome to stay with us.

I am glad Chris and Josie are ok.
I have to dodge cars truck and semis on the interstate all the time from coming into my lane.
I really don't want to see if my xfire will fit under a semi trailer.
a few weeks ago we where rearended in my wife's caliber, getting ready to turn left and got hit by a hit and run, spun us around in the road 3 times, glad there was not any oncoming traffic.
my son couldn't open his door, hit hard enough in the back his back door was shoved tight and wrinkled the floorboard under him which the back seat was alittle father forward than it was before.
we found him and the cops will not arrest him even though no license, no insurance and he admitted to being in a wreck there at that time but he said he though he hit a pole in the road (seriously)
and the story about that gets to be alot more and wondering why he is not deported and air dropped into north korea.

hope it is a easy fix zip.
is it a bolt from the top camber arm shear?
or the rubber bushing wear and slide over the washer ?
hard to think the mount would pull off the k frame or break the cast hub assembly but if that happened I would definitely want to know and see about strengthen up.
with my traveling, I carry some extra bolts like the old bolts when I changed all my rear arms out and out in the adjustable camber arms.
