[QUOTE="badjuicedgt, post: 16419754, member: 175982"] So I was a paramedic and firefighter for 10 years. I am 40 years old as of May 7th so back in 2008 I got run over by a truck I had my top 2 ribs taken out and half the mucles taken out in my neck. So I ended up going back to the car business full times since I had been buying and wholesaling cars since I was 18 and did that on my off days. So last year I started having trouble breathing and had pneumonia 6 times they finally ran some pulmonary tests and turns out I have copd and full respiratory failure. My wife had been trying to get me to stop working and go on disability especially after I was put on oxygen 24 hours a day and breathing treatments every 4 hours. So I filed for disability and got approved and due to working for dealers and buying their cars and trucks for them I always had something from the auction to drive.
