It was a good run. 24 years with this "Longhorn" style GMC.

Was making a run to Ventura North 101 to pick up a motorcycle project and some kids lost their surfboard off the top of their mini-van and jumped out onto the freeway and were running around trying to retrieve it. People were swerving and panicking and it I ended up in the back of a semi. Of course the impact totally missed the bumper. Just creamed the front pretty bad. seems like I was barely moving on impact but the damage is pretty bad. Can't get the hood open but it looks like my new GM "Performance" engine is OK. The rest, not so much.
