Great photo Pete &amp; Pete. Pete - good luck getting your head back in the game. Can only imagine your anguish. I have had the system let me down when i was brought up understanding that it would be there for me. Its a real kick in the nuts [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]. Your racing antics are an inspiration to us southerly North Americans. Keep us posted on your progress. Pixs wouldn't hurt either. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Pete....

I am sure that the first time you fire up and turn a tire, some of the pain will come out and resurface. You have picked up the pieces and are putting things back together. I need for you to take that car out to the local strip and let 'er rip.


If it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger!

Pete,
It could have turned out worse. Especially considering the lack of any form of support from the authorities. I know you had to pay a considerable amount to get your own car back but really your outcome seems like probably the best case scenario considering the other possible outcomes. It sucks when bad things happen to good people. But, keep in mind it's only a car, a special car, but just a car. I can relate, I've had a car stolen in the past and believe me it had a much worse outcome. It wasn't quite the caliber of this car but keep in mind it could have been worse.

Hang in there Pete. For what it's worth your 'COPO Shootout' MCR article was a huge inspiration to me back when I was just a student dreaming about COPO Chevelles....
