Re: Another Tale of Woe - (Long)

How about I make your day.
I have an 81S good title. as far as I can tell straight frame
that you can *have* sans windshield if yours is still in good shape (i'll
trade) I need it for neal as I broke the one that i got for him. I dont
deliver tho. and it could drive there, but i would *STRONGLY* recommend
you get it towed. It will make a great frame for swapping to.

It has  a few with a few damaged bits. (needs core support dented from
underneath) and the right rear needs some body work.
but I also know where there is are 3 mk1's in 2 yards that there are many
good parts on em, but for the pull-a-part we'd have to hurry....


you can see pictures of it at

it is the multicolored one
hows that.
and Im glad to hear that everyone is ok.

When I realied that I was going too fast to stop from hitting her in the rear, I was tempted to go into the median to avoid her, but when I saw that she was turning, rather than broadside her on the driver side, I corrected to bring the car back into the lane. She had slowed too fast and the drivers side headlight of the roc smacked wholeheartedly into the deadcenter of her back bumper. As I hit the rear of the Prizsm, a white 95 Pontiac Bonneville that had been following me, tapped the left rear corner of my bumper an spun me around so that I was now facing in the opposite direction.

> Anyhow, despite what you all may be thinking, fate smiled upon the three of us for the young woman (I should say Mother) in the Prizm had a 1 month baby in the reat seat behind her and if I had not directed my car back into the lane I might be giving a different account of the afternoon...........We we all wearing our seatbelts.
