 Sometimes people vanish on here for a month or so then come back so you never know 

[skip68]

He was last on in Nov. of 2008.         That's just about a year.    I hope he is ok..

Yeah that's not good....does any members live in his area? You could PM him but sometimes people don't respond 

[skip68]

If I remember right he is in Oregon.

[squeakfinder]

Well, I think its Washington. If you go to the search on this site you mite find something. I've met him a couple times at the Dodge Charger Registry gatherings at Widby Island and Tacoma, he's a good guy. But that's been a few years back. When I went to the Charger meet in Kent,WA last August I think it was Triple Green that told me Dan was having health problems. But maybee something else is going on. I'm sorry I don't know more.

He's doing good from what I know guys I talked to him back in July. He was trying to get an enchanced driver's licence in time for the Mopar show here but couldn't. He didn't mention why he hasn't been on.

Good grief. Why is that so hard for people to figure out? Man, Jen used to get pi$$ed about being called Dart Girl, remember?

[firefighter3931]

So glad to see nothing has changed here. You all still crack me up. Maybe I'll change my name to Coronet girl.
Life happens and sometimes you need to deal with it. Time, family, work,  just doesn't leave time for the internet...

[RECHRGD]

Dan's a great guy.  I hope all is well with him.  472RT should know.

Glad to see your still alive and kickin'.

Like RECHRGD said, Mike (472 RT/SE) is probably in contact with Dan. The last time I talked to him his patience was running thin with some of the people who were playing "expert" around here. Not sure if that has anything to do with his absence but I do miss his depth of knowledge, especially regarding the 68 model.

Was it because of the uproar over at Moparts with their Dart Girl? Although that was a while ago.

I guess. But then DartGirl was never here so other than them both owning Darts and both being female they had/have no connection. There's probably close to 10k guys on this site who own Chargers and probably 1/5 of them have the word Charger in their user name but in that sense no one seems to suffer from chronic identity disorientation.

Ummm What ever happened to 8wheeler ?  -------------------------------------------

I think that pretty much sums it up.  I, too, have taken some time off but it's different for him I guess.    It's too bad as Dan's good people.


At the Spring Round Up this year a card was floating around for folks to sign for him.  He'd been in & out of the hospital & just got out the day before the show.

At Sunbust in August when I talked to him he didn't seem to be himself.  I think he's prolly still a little weak.  He did perk up talking about Patty's car finally being done & the fact they had separate cars' there.  Which I thought was pretty cool in itself.
He won his class as usual & she got a 3rd IIRC.

Yea..talked with Dan & Patty at Sunbust....

Post above sums it up

Yeah, but you had much more fun talking to Patty '' my better 3/4''  

I am now loading programs on the wife's computer, again. I have gone through two C drives on
each of these two computers in two years, I don't mind setting the systems up again, but four
hard drives in two years? what the hell.....


Anyway, I had a few people email me regarding this thread, yes I have had a very hard year
so for. I am not one to complain ''much'' .... I have been in the hospital three times this year, about
two weeks total. I have been to the ER over 30 times. I am not looking for sympathy, just
responding to a few peoples concerns. I don't know how many people know that I am a quadriplegic,
I broke my neck 24yrs ago, it was a freak accident on a four wheel ATV, in a foot of snow, and
I was going 10 to 15mph according to my friends that were watching me, and I agree.

Anyway, after 24yrs of being paralyzed, it is really catching up with me. I don't really want to go
into details, but things are just wearing out, so my wife and I are doing are best, she is not ready
for me to go anytime soon, THANK GOD FOR A GREAT WIFE  

I was able to go to three car shows this year, I had a great time at each one, people very
friendly and concerned. My wife and I usually hit about twelve shows a year, but life happens.

This might be interesting to some. This is how I got to the hospital the day I broke my neck.
The Ambulance could not drive me out of there, they were afraid of making my injury worse,
the road in had two foot deep holes in places, I was there in my Dodge Power Wagon, I put
a five inch lift kit in it and 35in tall tires, the Ambulance only made it about half way in I was told.

My best friend took these pics, sorry its a bad scan job, and 24 years ago, I was 298 pounds
and was fresh out of football, I could bench press over 400 lbs then...........

Thanks for the concern, Dan
