Many Thanks to my friend Dan Vasic

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

I wanted to take stock of 2018 and get ready for 2019.

Of course family and friends are the most important aspect of our days.

Dan, you keep coming to mind over and over, you have been a great friend especially this past year.

Your calls, texts, and posts kept me headed in the right direction since day one of my Cutlass journey.

I think the nicest call I got in 2018 was when you made time to call and told me straight up that I could get my car running, driving, stopping, turning before MCACN. I was convinced a roller/pusher was the best I could do but you knew better. That vote of confidence was what I needed to make it happen. You also steered me towards having my old paint cut and polished, that was the best money I spent....... and just minutes before MCACN no less.

Putting together the RamRod and W31 display and having confidence that I could show up pulled my Project out of the ditch onto the highway!!!

New Years is fast approaching, so again Many Thanks and Happy New Years to my friend Dan.

Looking forward to ice cream as soon as the weather permits!!!

Ryan,

You`re like the little brother I wish I had. All good my friend, we kid and joke a lot....but at the end of the day.....it`s the common bond and friendships that we all gain from these cars that we all love so much. Lot`s of great memories over the years....What is a Post Sedan, to B90 trim and much more.
I look forward to having more good times with you and your family and seeing your part of the world.
Plus seeing you surprise a lot of people at your upcoming drag racing events will be priceless.
Drive it Like you Stole It! If she Breaks, you now know how to rebuild it!
I may even surprise you this year....if my plan works out.

See you soon my friend. Happy and Healthy 2019.

Dan

----"Foxfire Fixins". Its about a mile south on River Road (M-29) of Marine City. This is starting into something very cool. We can all meet at my place as there's plenty of parking and tell some tall tales for a while (maybe a cold one or two) and then mosey down to the restraint. The more the merrier. Who else is in?

----And,,,Crush, you might just be over dressed!...….Bill S

I'm willing to invite myself.........meet up with Ryan in Guelph or Woodstock so he has a
co-pilot. (Co-co pilot in case Jamie already called shotgun)

Ribs sounds good to me but I thought Michigan was the home of Coney Dogs.

Dan

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

I am enjoying the organic nature of this event!!!

Real fun happens just because all involved want to have a great time together.

I love every post, every invite, every post, every idea, and like little kids when you just let them be... they have fun!!

Ryan W31

We need to pick a date and a rain date.....for this part Dan, Bill, and I will have to share free weekends in the early warm season....

[Postsedan]

Sounds Good Ryan....
Let’s start looking at dates after May 1st.
Avoiding Mothers Day Weekend, May 12th.

Dan

[L78M22Rag]

Great thread Ryan! I second your comments about our friend Dan. He has offered me some priceless advice over the years, and helped me out of a few difficult situations. I owe him a BIG dinner and a lot more.

Alas, if I was only 1,585 miles closer. One of these days I’ll make it to an event... hopefully driving a Chevelle.

[Postsedan]

Helmut,

Thanks for the kind words.
I wish to have dinner with more to catch up and talk Cars, Family, Life and enjoy each others company....not cause you have owned me this dinner for nearly a decade :)

The last time we had dinner was at Portillo’s. Your were enjoying showing off all the pictures in your phone.....you were like a proud Papa.....fun times.

Dan
