I doubt the heart attack, but I could see not being on meds/taking waaaaaaaaaaay too much.

....very possible.
It's happened to me. I'm a diabetic. I tend to get low blood sugar in the late mornings. One time(years ago) I was leaving Longo Toyota in El Monte after writing an estimate. KnewI was low, said to myself I'll just drive about 1/2 mile to a Mickey-D's. Didn't make it - got confused, got the 60 fwy and ended up n Diamond Bar about 15 miles east, got off the fwy and (slightly) rear-ended a Suzuki Samurai. Wasn't even able to coherently exchange info with the other driver - just handed her my license. Kind of woke up after that and got some food.

I'm watching myself better now - test my blood beforeI drive anytime in the A.M, and also have adjusted my insulin intake.

Yeah, sugar crashing could have been very likely, but still, I'm pissed at everyone who didn't bother calling her in. Drunk or medical emergency, it should be called in.

I think she was testing her car and whether or not she made the right decision not getting the Quattro.

Anyway, you did your part in that sitation CLX! Props to you for calling 911 and staying with her making sure things don't go out of control! [sm=smiley20.gif]

I gotta say, for a bigass van with a pretty heavy load, it drives better than one would expect. I bet I could give k3mp a run for his money.

I put three on my van. One for each catalytic converter. That's how they work, right?
