Take some time out to say a prayer...

Last night John Platania (SSL78) lost his Father to a battle with Leukemia. While thankful that his Dad made it thru Christmas. These things are never easy. Please take some time out to remember John and his family during this difficult time.

Here is a little something that shows John's relationship with his Dad. I always thought this was cool..

My parents always were telling how crazy I was spending my entire check on my cars, they just didnt understand I was addicted and there was no stopping now. After that Chevelle I went to a Ford a 67 Mustang I would put a 351 4 speed and 4:62 rear end in for the summer and then every winter I would put the stock 289 and open back in since I could only afford one car since I spent all my extra money on that car. After many more cars and many more paychecks going into my cars my parents finally gave up until one day in 1985 when I asked my dad if I could borrow 9K dollars to go by a 69 Camaro with a blown motor, he really thought I was crazy but lent me the money any ways I sold everything I owned and paid them back in less than a year. The car I bought was a 69 hugger orange Yenko Camaro to this day my dad cant believe what has happened to the value of these cars.
