He certainly seems accident-prone, whether with cars or his bones. I wonder who was at fault. 

And an Escalade? C&amp;#39;mon, Phelps, get yourself a nice speedy European sports car. :)

I guess that winning gold medals and setting world records doesn&amp;#39;t leave time for normal &amp;quot;life&amp;quot; stuff like renewing your license.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Michael Phelps uninjured after car crash</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/130541?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:38:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:d4608e4a-d053-4451-8d56-5633b127584e</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>I beleive he needs a personal special needs child care worker to help him.

Phelps presented officers with a Michigan driver&amp;#39;s license, according to the report, and investigators determined it was invalid after consulting with Michigan authorities. Phelps lived in Michigan between the 2004 and 2008 Olympics and moved back last year to his native Maryland.


Fred Woodhams, a spokesman for the Michigan secretary of state, said Friday night that Phelps had not paid a fee to reinstate his license, which had been suspended because he was late paying a different fee for not having proof of insurance in 2006.


&amp;quot;It could very well be something that just slipped through the cracks,&amp;quot; Guglielmi said of the license.


Phelps&amp;#39; agent, Drew Johnson, and his coach, Bob Bowman, did not respond to repeated messages seeking comment.


...



Phelps&amp;#39; Escalade had a crumpled front hood after the collision, while Virkus&amp;#39; car had considerable damage to the front driver&amp;#39;s side. Two parked cars also sustained minor damage, and one of them was occupied at the time, according to the report.
...


&amp;quot;Getting into a car after anything to drink is wrong. It&amp;#39;s dangerous and unacceptable,&amp;quot; Phelps said after his 2004 arrest.

Is a Jakked like a Ford Pinto in which the gas tank exploded in a rear impact? 

That would have been a real spectacle with a fire ball rising above the pool!!!  :bolt:

A Cadillac Escalade is not considered a low drag SUV nor is it a low drag suit either. :afraid:
