That moment when all hell breaks lose is something that lives with ya for hours afterwards. I was looking down at my freshly installed tach when I heard a pop and saw my cup holder fly off the tranny tunnel. By the time I got my eyes on the road, we ...

You ever see the Macguyver episode where he makes a ski out of a piece of wood to replace the busted wheel on an airplane??? It was pretty much just like that. Ryan's driving skills saved my life....

H.A.M.B. heroes to the rescue. I got to meet Doc at the LSRU. What a class act! And this isn't the 1st time he has gone out of his way to help people.

Can you have ANYTHING longer than a few days before you either modify it, destroy it or sell it? Come by and see me (and you future daughter-in-law) sometime.

dirtybirdpunk · 06-26-2008, 10:55 PM

I lost a wheel due to sheered studs on the front of my T-Bird doing 80 mph, Thats one experience I could of gone without! Glad you all are safe and sound. God Bless the brotherhood and helpful people of the H.A.M.B.

Tman · 06-26-2008, 10:57 PM

No witty comment my friend...............talk to you on the flipside. Glad you are safe. And that Joyo guy, he is kinda cool as well

MR. FORD · 06-26-2008, 11:03 PM

Heard about the disaster last night. REALLY glad you guys are alright! I have that nightmare so many times, can't imagine what it was like for real. Hope the rest of the trip goes like butter.

skipstitch · 06-26-2008, 11:09 PM

You should have driven the Model A

Glad to hear you're okay.

1. Bad things can happen to anyone
2. Even when you think it all sux, theres always a positive to come from the experience, and make you re-evaluate the things in your life that matter. Props to all involved in pointing you back in the right direction, something we can all learn from.

Cheers,

Drewfus

Glad you kept it under control and didn't crash into something going fast or big and stopped! It is simply amazing how the HAMB takes care of one another - glad Doc was there for yah.

I didn't get to make the HotRod Cinematic -- had an all day charity event for a friend that had a major stroke. He is only 47 years old and may never be able to go back to work . . . but rehab is working, so we're all praying for the best and hopefully he heals and can get back to work.
