Again in 2007 a truck went through the furniture on the south side of 44.
Unfortunately I know the 2005 incident all too well. A friend's mom was on the bus that was hit head on and she passed away. To top it off he had lost his dad at a very early age, so both parents are gone. Furthermore, I used to ride side by side with the bus around that area on my daily commute at the time. For some reason I had left early that morning and completely avoided it. I would have likely been involved had I not left early that day....

68 six is volunteering to lend me something better than the AUTOMATIC V6 Mustang!!!

I actually need to get out there to take a look at my car (and your projects). Maybe early next week, I work 5 miles away from the shop.

You jinxed it. I don't know if it will be back for the Moroso show on the 12th. The revised expectation is next week...cutting it close.
