Congratulations, Mario!!! Glad to see you out in the '35! I know it holds a special place in your heart.... and rightfully so! And besides, it'll feel a lot better this fall on those clear cold evenings..... Enjoy my friend! 
Well I guess this is as good a place to start as any. On the evening of September 29th 2002 I got a flat tire right before an overpass which made it too late to go off the road for cover. I had to go up the overpass hill ever so delicately due to the tire down with posi and 456 gears. It was a crawl up the bridge without tearing everything all up. I kept looking in my rear view for cars coming at me and boy was I nervous.
I finally got up on the bridge and went over to the right side on and off shoulder because I was scared to death to crawl down the bridge without getting plowed from behind. The bridge spanned over 10 lanes of roadway and I stopped the car at about lane 7 to give cars room to get on and off the roadway.
As I called my wife to pick me up I turned off the key so I could hear her better and I watched a car come up the ramp from down below the bridge and make his way around to the top and saw his headlights coming in my mirror. They just slightly slanted left and then bang, he hit me and turned me over shoving me along the pavement about 20 feet. I couldn't believe what just happened to me. My son was in the car with me and he was hanging from his lap belt in his seat above me.
I smelled gas and urged him to hurry and get out of his lap belt but I was in his way of getting out. I had to get out first and the door was pinched closed. I went through the window and my son came out right behind. I gave him the biggest hug ever and asked him if he was ok.
And this is the start of my 1935 Chevy resurrection thread.
