Latest from TMZ. Could be drug related as to cause of death. Apparently the emergency landing to make trip to hospital was to administer anti opioid drug. Hospital wanted him to stay over but because there were no private rooms he split. See more here...

Dont like the flex fan. First made from riveted aluminum and no clutch. So you revving the engine to say 6 grand means the fan is turning 5+ grand or close. A lot of harmonic vibration can weaken the blades and especially the rivet joints. What little you gain in horsepower over a standard...

Guns of Navarone All star cast.

Guess getting a piece of pipe that would fit into the axles was out of the question. That way you would not have to depend on those surface welds to take the strain. Jus sayin,

LTL would be my guess. Could run ad in craigslist to see if any independent truckers would consider.

Black Bishop, Sorry for the wrong assumptions we made. Sounds like your only option is to sell the car. Just hope you get enough. Seems GOFUNDME is getting too common. People use to try to get money for even trips it seems. Tom

The Son in law is who is pictured. Don't think RRR was passing judgement but offering that when something is important to a person they should be willing to make sacrifices to maintain that which is important. Quitting smoking is not likely going to make a huge difference of course, but I get...

Good point on smokes and I would ask if you already own a plot for your FIL. If not then your MIL is taking on huge debt. We buried my mom. Her wishes and her estate paid for it. My dad we cremated and scattered his ashes on a hill. His wishes. Did your FIL offer what he wanted done with his...

Brad, I wish I could give you a note of confidence on the GOFUNDME. I did donate. I noticed you did not. When I opened the GOFUNDME for Tom and Dee, I was the first to donate to kick start the process. And there is a lot of history for Tom and his family on this board. So with the exception of...

Services for Dee start in about an hour and half from now. I would just like to offer a little prayer that the services go smoothly and that Tom and his daughters are able to share their hearts about Dee and gain some relief and closure from the experience. Tom

Sorry to hear this. Prayrs to them and their families.

To all, From this point forward please offer any donations directly to Tom. This thread has served it's purpose. Flowers have been ordered and paid for. I want to thank each and everyone that added to the fund. Tom

Excellent point ! Tom

I once bought a used Porsche 911 E. !969. This was the model that had the mechanical fuel injection. A small inline 6 cylinder looking injector mill sat on top of the engine and was driven by a toothed belt. Anyway the car was originally a European car but with left hand drive and a close ratio...
