Re: Snowstorm damage to my '64

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OUCH!!!!   I had one of those temporary garages where I used to live and it 
served me well for about 3 years until I moved. But it was also the round 
quonset hut type. Plus I never did trust it with heavy snow so I always went 
out and pushed the snow off it after a storm.

Hopefully Santa works for the insurance company and brings you a new 
windshield.
