It's amazing what quick service you get at some service stations when you come flying down the hill and pull up to their front door when your car is on fire. Everyone runs out with a fire extinguisher to help. ....Ya...I wish that's what happened..... One kid about 17 said "Hey Mister, your cars on fire" ....Like I didn't know that already.........asshole.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)

Picture this... plums of white smoke so thick I could hardly see the road errupting from under the dash. 200' drop into the service station over 1000'. I slam the brakes on and bail out. I should have driven it right into their service bay and then bailed out..........then mabey help........They did let me use the phone to call a tow truck. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Tow truck drivers are like cab drivers, they get payed to wait. After visiting every place that could be thought of in the Dalles that might be able to take a look at what's left. After hearing "Hey, bubba looky at thiss....it's got a chevy (cheby second time) in it" (now spit tobacco juice) twice. A location was found that might be able to do something tomorrow. The shop owner worked for one of those Italian car comanys that people pay way too much for there cars.

Anyways.....the bar becons ....did you know Hood River is the Windsurfing Capital of North West. Watress.....more ice in my next glass.....
