Like a lot have said. Cars can be replaced, people can not.

I am really sorry you lost your baby after all the blood, sweat and tears. I am very glad the two of you were able to walk away!

The only time I had a 914 go me at a low speed was I had a gas line crack, putting gas on the right rear. It was damp as I remember, I thought I was in a helicopter whose rotors stuck and everything else turned.

Mike I just let my bodyman have my 72 rust free tub in trade (you know me). I don't think he has any plans for it yet.

Chris, hockey players get all of the hot chicks and they dont have teeth either.


Yeah but I suffer the same follicular malady as Mike so I can't pull off the mullet that goes hand in hand with the teeth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE(Leo Imperial @ Apr 28 2008, 03:43 PM) *

I will make myself available for both of you if you want some help with the body work. We can bondo the teeth and the car. When I get done you will never know it happened.

Mike you should have been running on cookie cutters and Chris ask me first before you step into a car with mad Mike. You know he is just looking for some extra time in the OR.


Bondo? Nah, get me some JB weld. Its non toxic, right?

Mike, offer stands on storing shit in my basement in Philly, I know you don't have the space. Flatbed it down and we can rip it apart, I'm sure many others will join in too. I know you got a bunch of shit to deal with first but keep it in mind. And seriously, no hard feelings! Really, the crap you gotta deal with now is probably worse than the healing process I gotta go through.

Bummer Mike,

Hope both you guys heal up well. Life is precious.

Knowing you, you'll find a roller in short order.

If you want to come out to the PNW I'll put you up and fix the choppers. It would probably take 2 trips about 4 weeks apart. A couple of good long days in the dental chair will make you rethink who got the worst of the crap to deal with.

Root canals Saturday, crown preps and impressions Sunday, back in 4 weeks to cement the final stuff in. No JB Weld just the good stuff.

Ha, thanks for the offer but I've got a great dentist here. He always get a bit freaked out because I choose to not use novocaine. Not a big needle fan. Shifting my front tooth back into position by hand yesterday and grinding the raw end of the teeth was a little rough but otherwise tolerable. 1.5 hrs and I've got some temp chompers to work with so I can eat and talk normally. He is pretty convinced I'll need caps and root canals. I think I'll have to submit to the novocaine then.

Dave - I have a better idea. We'll fly you east or pay your costs to drive that cold hearted B.. here and instead of a tranny clinic we'll have an oral surgery party.
We right coaster can see your great engine and car, and get our teeth cleaned too. Evil, add a transmission clinic anyway. I'll host the location

seriously - glad both Mike and Chris walked away from that one. I'll be glad to help where ever either of you guys need it!
