Did he really come on here and say that? What a tool...... If your not in agreement just cork it, give your best and save the rest for another argument. This is about Chris not your opinion please

There are far too many people on all forums like this. They all have opinions, most of which are unhelpful to any situation. I wish people like this would keep them to themselves. This forum is meant to be helpful to other BMW enthusiasts. It's tools like this that give BMW owners a bad rap!

TopJimmy · 05-15-2021, 08:42 AM

I'm sorry he doesn't share our opinion, but let's let it go...

We'll keep all the focus on our buddy Chris' recovery.

rmanm4 · 05-15-2021, 09:09 AM

Why is compassion for another fellow human being so hard at times??

It shouldn't be. We are all citizens of planet earth and are equals! Compassion and love is what makes us human! Chris needs all the love he can get right now and so do all other humans in need. Give when you can!

But I hope he gets well, and continues doing Vargas/Turbo things. Wish him well.

Just can't understand why religion is always brought into shit as if 1mil prayers = a saved life...like God only answers if he gets 100sub's on the praying channel...

Anyways, again good luck Chris, speedy recovery to you, and hopefully the team and fam stay strong.

People find comfort and trust in it, and seeking religion gives a sense of companionship in the unknown/ not going through life alone.
After all, it is called faith.

Chris@VargasTurboTech · 05-15-2021, 09:14 AM

Hello, just wanted to update everyone. Chris is out of the ICU, and doing much better. The doctors are still not 100% sure why he lost blood flow to his spine, but they were able to apply treatment, and his recovery has been much faster than anyone anticipated. We truly appreciated all the prayers and good thoughts. This truly seems like a miracle, as the condition Chris was faced with leaves most people paralyzed for life. Thank you to everyone! I spoke with him yesterday for a brief bit, and he was overwhelmed by this thread, and was very thankful to have everyone's support!

irunalot · 05-15-2021, 09:27 AM

Very happy to hear he is doing well and improving!

rmanm4 · 05-15-2021, 10:19 AM

Excellent news!

4schip · 05-15-2021, 11:17 AM

4schip · 05-15-2021, 11:18 AM

CT92F80 · 05-15-2021, 12:48 PM

Sending prayers and a speedy recovery...

Douche Ninja!!!!! Some people need to be punched in the fucking face.

Great new on his recovery!!!! Can't ask for anything else

M4XS55 · 05-15-2021, 09:41 PM

Extremely thankful for Chris’ recovery and will continue to pray for his lasting health. He was always extremely helpful to me and willing to answer my questions regardless of if my questions were about VTT products or not. The Bimmer community is lucky to have him.

CT_M3 · 05-18-2021, 11:20 PM

Amen! Let's focus on thoughts on Chris and ignore the negativity. Chris has always been helpful to the community and its the least we can do.

There is always someone that fucks it all up 🤦🏻*♂️🤦🏻*♂️

Boostd4 · 05-19-2021, 04:12 PM

Great news! Now tell him to get back to work!

All kidding aside...glad to hear he's on the road to recovery. Please keep us posted.

Morgen Black · 05-19-2021, 07:58 PM

Recovering after something like that always requires great family, friends and support. You have exactly that on this forum and we all wish you the best in a speedy recovery.

Chris@VargasTurboTech · 05-26-2021, 10:18 PM

Thank you guys. Appreciate the kind words.

I have been dealt a rough hand but have a tremendous amount to be grateful for. 90% of people this happens to become quadriplegics. I've lost ~85-90% of my upper body strength and most of the dexterity of my left hand (some of the right) but I'm still here, I can walk, and I can move. I have family, friends, loved ones, and even quite a few customers have reached out. Thank you.

I'll be running things low profile for a while as I re-learn how to use my hands and make my recovery the top priority.

Special shout out to Tony, who was one of the first to show up (I am remote in AZ for those that do not know). Flew out to give me a hug, hand me a coffee, and shoot the shit for a couple of hours before he flew back. Love you brother.

If you emailed me, I will get back to you, just operating very slow right now.

Thank you all for your kindness. The prayers and good thoughts make a difference, at least to me who sees the positive energy which from years of coaching I know matters, at most to a merciful creator who let me see more days. Thank you.

Chris

Chris!!! I am thankful that you are on the up and up - no doubt it will be a journey but please always remember to persevere and take it one day at a time if you have to. I've had my own journey with injury and it has taken me years to even get to where I am right now, and still I am recovering. Life can deal you a shitty hand but don't ever forget you're never out of the game.

hC1001 · 05-26-2021, 11:14 PM

Awesome. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

TopJimmy · 05-27-2021, 05:22 AM

Dude I was worried. Happy to see you typing again. We miss you!

Life is a series of tests...another one you passed. I hope your recovery is speedy and easy as it can be.

Best of health to you.

-Jimmy
