Ouch! Now don't do that to your Longhorn!

You were lucky.

Is that one picture in front of Helgate Highschool?

Geez, nice wrap-around, Dave. Did you try to start it up and drive around in circles? All lessons to be learned for later life. Heres a pic of my 78 Monte after a head-on with a semi truck in 1992. And I just finished throwing $400 into the front end! I came out w/out a scratch and we just had to bend the guy's bumper back out and he was on his way.

special70gmc · 04-03-2003, 06:18 PM

the frames not bent. lol bet you ebfabman could fix it?

mtdave2 · 04-03-2003, 07:32 PM

Hey, I had family in Missoula a few years back. Spent many a summer up at the hole in the wall on fish creek. How long ago did you live there?

mtdave2 · 04-04-2003, 11:07 AM

i moved 2 years ago this month, how long? well i grew up there! other than a few years in the marines, i have been in montana . i would love to go back, but there is just no way to make a living there. at least the kind that im wanting.

i will retire to montana for sure. missoula will always be my home.
