from your neighbor to the east in Northeast Pennsylvania Great story about the Comet - reminds me a little of the movie Christine - mind of it's own
Welcome aboard! Great story. Not too many people are lucky enough to do that. A lot of people have gotten on here over the years in hopes of finding their car but never any luck that I know of.
my toy wow what a response i am from ashtabula ohio witch is about 30 miles east of cleveland and am going to break the news to my parents tomorrow,because it was such a big part of my life and they helped me work on it so much they are going to be blown away.
