ok so Friday on my way in to the tour i make it almost all the way to the hotel and the Vette just dies in an intersection in Grinnell Iowa.Kid name Justin comes out of his house and asks if we needed a hand pushing the car and proceeds to help us. Car turns over just won't start and battery dies .He calls Andy from Andys auto and he comes over with a jumper ,finds out the coil is bad replaced that and the battery all for 85 bucks.Can't say enough about the town folk who stopped and asked if we needed help.Thank you !
Now the big thanks. Day 1 ,i'm traveling with Pumkin (matt) ,Fine 59 (Fred and Vickie) and 68 impdroptop (dave and penny). We stop for coffee 100 miles into the drive .We all start to get back on the highway when KaBoom ! Pull over and the fan assy cracked in half and blew apart taking out the upper hose and water pump,fan belt. Holy i can't effin believe it ! We assessed the damages and start takin inventory of what we need at the parts store and Dave and my copilot Scott take off to the parts store. Meanwhile 173herd (Mike and Suzy) oletrux4evr (ed and mary) and 65 marlin ( Jill and Chuck ) all stop by to help out . I cannot begin to tell everyone how much i appreciate the help even for the moral support . Matt,Fred Ed were all elbows deep in antifreeze dave running to get the parts and all the girls there telling me not to worry about the time, we will get there when we get there.
