Ron I'm sure that hurt alright.....but not as much as what happened to me..... When I was 18...living in north Jersey...we would go to "upstate" New York where (at the time) we could drink legally at 18 (instead of 21 in NJ). Anyway, my friend had a 1969 Dodge Dart GT Sport with a tricked out 340 motor and the TorqueFlyte tranny.....when you stomped on it...you could pull the front wheels slightly off the ground. It was a bronze/copper color. I loved that car.....and he had just ordered a Datsun 240Z. While he was waiting for the 240Z to come in.....he agreed to sell me that GT 340 Sport for $800. I was happy..... ;D. Then came that fateful night...Dec. 1, 1972.....We were all "upstate" ....had a few beers and a few eats...and the 4 of us were driving home in Rich's (soon to be mine) Dart 340. Well, Rich miscalculated "deadman's curve" and slammed that beautiful car into a telephone pole...cut it right in half. I was the passenger in the front passenger seat....and I got the worst of it. A broken jaw in 3 places and 2 crushed vertebra and a disc permanently in the nerve channel (as it still is today). But to me, at that moment, anyway---lol.......the worst part was the car that was soon to be mine...was totalled.....I never got the '69 Dart GT 340....... Now over the years I have tried to find a duplicate of that car......it had to be a 1969...it had to be a GT or GTS...it had to have the 340 motor and it had to have the auto trans....and it had to be that copper metallic color......searched for over 30 years...never found that exact car....seems perhaps none of them survived...... Talk about HURT....lol. Bob

I hear ya, Ron.....LOL. the toys were nice........but true happiness was found here, in N.H. with Sherri . And yes I know what you mean......when we were 17-18....the price of the car was only half the equation....the cost of the insurance was the other half..... Bob

Ron
It was actually called "Corvette Tan"......sort of a beige or tan color with Dark Brown Leather interior.... And it was sold, as I liquidated most things from my first life, (including a 1969 Olds 442 and a 1963 Olds F-85 Cutlass) and moved up here to New Hampshire to be with and eventually marry Sherri.

Phil, my friend,
you have to explain this me....(sorry if I'm a little dense).
what is this "flotsam"? Is it an abandoned ship that is still ocean worthy? and just floating around aimlessly? It looks awfully straight to me? Why wouldn't anyone want it?
I just don't get it.
