    Look at the bright side--it could be worse. You could be the body shop employee.

    Or even ex-employee...

    At least it was not the loss of a person. I almost said true love, but an old truck can be one's true love.

    That is not cool. Sorry to hear that. Maybe you should have deepened the vortex instead?

    The vortex is getting back at you for not buying more spinny tools Roger.

    Yep. Considering some of the possibilities that went through my head as I was reading the title, you had a non-problem.

    Ah it could always be worse. My father in law owns a hot rod shop. He had just finished a car and I guess they need to let it "cure" for a few days. Well the owner didn't want to wait. A nice fire engine red hot (Chevelle I think...maybe a Nova.. I don't remember exactly). Well the guy takes it, after spending something like $40k and parks it on his street which is a hill.... and you can guess what happens next... Yep, left the parking brake off and it rolls down and gets mangled. So he has to tow it back for another $20k or $30k worth of repair work.... not in such a rush this time!

    Bummer on the damage done.
    Back in 69, I had a 61 Chevy, and backed it out of the stall at work. Drove home with the door in the back seat.

    Well, I got my little wood hauler back from the body shop today! Looks brand new.......still runs like new! Not bad for a '97 model!
