IML: We Survived!!!




Hello Folks, just letting you know that both myself and Priscilla(my '58) survived Hurricane Wilma. I still am waiting for the power to come back. I'm running off a generator. Priscilla fought the storm every step of way. The first thing Wilma tried to do is steal Priscilla's car cover, but Priscilla held fast and kept it. As a sort of revenge Wilma ripped off one of Priscilla's rusty old mufflers. The last laugh was on Wilma because that muffler and the rest of the rusty exhaust system needs to be replaced anyway. Have a nice day folks. Doug

Great, congrats!!

Enjoy it as much you can, but remember that warning Kenyon Wills once has
given on this board: "Always replace that old powersteering hoses!!"

It aint much fun when the collapse in the middle of a turn :)
