A friend of mine dropped this off at work today. I actually never saw it. He said he found it when he moved and though I would want it. It looks worse then the pics I have.

That's from 1986. I guess I never saw the article, since I was in the hospital for 3 months.  :eek2:

Mike, I topped a hill and hit 200 feet of ice. I slid in the other lane and hit the van head-on. The 1st EMT to the scene slid and wrecked his car. The State Trooper slid and did 2 360's and stopped just before hitting my car. When he got out of the cruiser , he fell on his azz.  :hah: :hah:

I forget.....

Did I tell you I asked my pal in NY about #2? It did not ring any bells with him. He lived in the same area you sold it too.

Wow, it looks like you're lucky to still be breathing and walking after that wreck!  Not a great way to whack a high-bumper truck.  Glad you came out of it so well.

Looks like most of the damage could have been buffed out  :buff:

WOW JACKIE!!  I'm glad you walked away from that. :o  Well, after three months that is. :angel:
