How a Gold Crown IV Saved My Life

From the looks of those photos, the pool table literally saved your life. She wasn't going slow when she entered your building.
On another note, with a police report and those photos, her insurance company is on the hook big time! New pool tables, new doors, and all the other repairs. I have a real nice Gold Crown V if you're ready to graduate.
Glad you're okay man. That could have been a disaster.

car in a foundry
When I owned a wrecker service I got a police call to come fetch a car. Their location information is often off so I am circling the neighborhood, no sign of a car crashed into a building. Finally the police waved me into a foundry.
The foundry was an old tall tin building with the main supports out of heavy timbers eight or ten feet apart. The car hit one of these timbers, knocked it up in the air, went into the building, and the "door," the wall, slammed down behind it only leaving a single loose sheet of tin to tell the tale. I could write pages to explain how I got a complete car out the back of a building with no doors anywhere near it but suffice to say I got this call in the wee hours of the morning and I was so tired when I opened my business about thirty minutes late that morning I could hardly move and still had a ten hour day in front of me! The wrecker business was tons of fun at times.

Glad alls well Eric. I drove by @ noon today (shopping at Vicky Secret with Amy )and was shocked how well the exterior appeared!
Crazy, crazy, crazy. Truly good fortune on so many counts. Great work getting back to order so fast!
Not to hijack, but hey, I got one for you, some more local flavor from Greensboro, NC!
Some guy, I'll call him "Burt" gets an old Trans Am, the old "Smokey the Bandit" type from a junkyard, gratis. Gets it rolling somehow. He's needing some coin to feed his crack urges one late weekday night.
He rolls over to one of my automotive shops and rams the car through the huge service bay door. Runs into the lobby, collects @ $20 change out of the drawer and heads out. Gets a rock, gets his buzz, and comes down to earth.
He rolls over to another of my service centers. Revs it up, rams it thru the bay door. Gets some more silver, gets a rock, comes down.
Apparently a nice citizen had seen the first incident. Calls 911 and says "there's someone who just rammed a Smokey the Bandit car thru the Jiffy Lube on Battleground Ave!".
So, the cops are out looking around. They find him pulling onto the lot of another of my facilites. Thankfully they stopped him before running it down. The grill was chock full of glass. The guy admitted to everything.
What a mess! Lead story on the local news. Why couldn't he have just used a blunt instrument (smaller than a car) to bust open the glass front lobby door?
(no, I wasn't on the hopper that I recall, it was after store hours)

Okay, sorry about my question, but I am 19 and am just learning about this at collage and thought I'd ask but definitely did not want to hijack your thread.
Anyhow, I did re-read your story and it made me smile again so... thank you once again for the great read and again: I am glad everyone is well!
Sincerely,
David
No, this is a private bathroom elsewhere in the building. She did make it in a good 10 feet or so, tho.

Wowzer!! After all that did you remember to wipe?
Man glad you are ok and everything is going to be worked out...
Now...
You almost lost your A#$ at the pool room, but man that Gold crown has a great roll that saved you butt. Never let anyone tell you a table that rolls is bad!
