To All,

Started to work my way through all these posts yesterday. Didn't get that far. Stirred up alot of old memories and lots of material for more car stories. Some sad stuff too, no question. eom's account of losing his 55 Chev only to have it returned as a car-cass..........
what a heartbreaker.
Then bullrider with the bad accident in the 69 Malibu. Im so sorry. Thats a hell of a thing to go through just starting out. We were all new travellers on an old road. I have similar stories I will probably share on this thread. I was a real wild child. I have been in many, many accidents.
Fred, to answer the question about whose fault the 528 wreck was, well, it was mine. Last Nov. 12 about 1 pm. Rain coming down in sheets. Going too fast for conditions. Anxious about being short YHOO. City street, looked away at something, cant remember exactly what, looked up to see that I was not on the program, that program being "everybody stop for the red light"
Rear ended a brand new Mercedes S 420. Nobody got hurt though.

Sometimes I get tired of cars.........................

DT

I am not much of a tech guy but have lots of great pictures I would like to show. If I could only learn how to get them up on a page. I have a friend that is good at this. I will consult him..............
I guess a digital camera would help, but what if I just have a bunch of old prints??
