Thumbs down Is anyone else in this situation?

The sun came out, I washed my car Spotless! So, before I take my cruise about M-town, I decided I would play one game of pick up basketball with my neighbor. I tore my patella tendon. I had surgery, my surgeon told me I could drive my M6 for bout 3 months. I could've fell out. I have a Yukon that I will have to drive. The summer gonna be slow.

I'm so sorry. That really sucks.

I once tore of tendons in my foot and couldn't drive (at all) for about 3 weeks, but that was the worst I have ever done.

I had just purchased my Gpz 750 Turbo in 1985, the next day I blew my knee and had 45 days to recover... I "feel" your pain!!

I play basketball every week. At 44 my knees are starting to hurt so I'm glad I have the automatic.

Just getting in and out of the Camaro can be daunting and I'm not overweight.

Never regret having a M6. Just waiting on my get in party! Be careful all Bball players. You might just need to watch march madness on TV.

Look at it this way, now you have three months to install all the mods you want...

Man that blows! I wish you a speedy recovery! I don't know how I would act if I couldn't drive my car for months. Guess the wife would then be able to drive it cause I don't think I could stay away!

Didnt have my patella but im recovering from my second ACL reconstruction rite now.
First one was easy because it was my left knee so driving wasnt a problem but right now im recovering from surgery on my right one. This last wednesday was 3 weeks post op and i was finally able to hop in my camaro yesterday and drive. 3 weeks without driving is torture so i know how you feel. Good luck with the tendon have a speedy recovery
