He and a friend wen to New York to pick up the eclipse he bought on ebay. They had a 15 passenger van and were towing the eclipse on a trailor, then it happened. Some where in Pennsylvainia (spelling?) the roads were a little slick and they ended up going sideways which caused the ball for the trailor to break and send the trailor into the ditch, and threw them into a wall. Both airbags went off but luckily nobody was hurt. They stayed at a hotel that night and left for the cities this morning and should be here later tonight if nothing else goes wrong. Until they get here I will try to field any questions.

Shit that sucks! They are lucky they got out OK. Accidents with trailers can be nasty. Hope his new eclipse isn't all beat up

Yeah, towing cars can be hairy. I had a friend help me tow 6 cars yesterday, took all afternoon and then some. We had problems getting a Trans Am up on the dolly since the nose was so long and the car was low. I went back and picked up that car today. No real problems but I've learned to be real careful, things can get ugly real quick.
