Basically, Rich was a little hot into a very mean, tight
"S" turn, lost it and rolled 3 times.

Yeah, we were SOOO close to getting back to the house and
were pulled over for towing a car from an accident scene
without an officer present.  Ooops.  I'm just glad Brett
('er, Frank) wasn't hauled off - I don't know how he
managed to talk his way out of a DUI.

The car is rough.  The passenger compartment survived very
intact, and amazingly NO glass was broken.  Mark (Mardak)
dropped the '81 S he was towing at my place and is
currently towing Rich's car back to Delaware.

I think it seemed longer than that.  At least all the beer
bottles were hidden.  :p

Yep, the party was subdued but still lasted 'til 3:00 AM.

I feel SOOO bad for Rich, but I understand that the car was
fully insured.  I'm just really thankful that nobody was
seriously hurt.
