Don...

I just heard from a co-worker how the room started to spin on him a few days
ago... and he almost passed out.   He went to a doctor... thinking the worst...
turned out... there's a virus going around... that effects the inner ear, etc...
and causes headaches, lightheadedness, and the such.   His doctor said how she 
had
several people come in with the same problem, all of a sudden, over the last
couple weeks... So it's going around, and is apparently well known to the 
medical
community that tracks these sort of things.    So... MAYBE....  maybe that's 
what
hit you.   Something to think about and to ask the docs...

Apparently it takes about a month to get over... though my co-worker felt much
better a couple days later.  And it was a come-n-go sort of feeling.

Congrats on the car!
