Glad someone did. Unfortunately "she" had the last laugh!! That little prank cost me dearly $$$$ and the picture was taken in the "broke down lot". Oh well, well worth the hassle. I just do not tease the witch too much anymore and am very cautious what I do while around her. Poor kid, she doesn't deserve the reputation but it sure is fun!

Im not sure how that witch got the last laugh. Hanging there all mangled up. Anyway thanks for the heads up. I will keep an eye out while crossing that damn bridge in Michigan next time. Dont know how it cost you $$$ , I got off with a huge scare, a long walk and small $$ price of a belt.

Cuz she and Cumby both warned me ahead of time I was visiting at my own risk. She was right about the black cloud. I don't believe in superstitions so I put the witch on the front of my truck as a way to laugh in it's face just before I pulled into her driveway. Won't be doing that again any time soon! The long and short of it is, I stopped by on my way through deer hunting. I shut my truck off and it did not fire again on it's own for several days. The $$$$ was for the extended hotel, food, towing and repair bills for a fuel pump, wiring harness, computer and anything else I have forgotten since then. It's a VERY long story but get a few beers in me at the Gibb show or SCR8 and I will tell you all about it.

All kidding aside, they are both great people. I owe them both a ton for helping me that week and for being wonderful hosts especially the weekend before Thanksgiving. Got to know Annie better and the delay gave me the opportunity to help her organize all her Gibb and other musclecar memorabilia. This woman's collection is mind boggling. I also got to meet another very sweet lady. However, I better let Cumby share that one with you.

From all of your posts in the various threads, I would say that witch put a spell on more than just your truck.

Just ask around, this witch has put a spell on a LOT of us car guys.

Since you are doing research, read back on here when her husband passed away who at the time was researching a 1970 Dick Harrell Camaro for me. He was not gone more than a couple of weeks when Annie called me and told me that she knew all about the work that Dennis and I had been doing. She told me that she wanted to continue to help with the research. She refused to heed my concerns for her well being and priorities at the time and was more interested in continuing the reseach for Dennis's sake. That research helped me authenticate the car which Steve Sandlin now owns.

If this is not good enough, ask several others on this site what she has unselfishly done for them. This includes donations, giving of her time, free parts, storage of cars, offers of car transportation in her trailer, use of her truck, you name it. She is one in a million and I owe her a lot for that unselfish frienship. She has NEVER asked for anything in return. I was just giving credit where credit was due since I have yet to be able to repay her. So yes, I guess I am guilty of being taken over by her spell and damn proud to be called her friend.

Whoa slow down a bit there sailor

Thank You! You have again made the point I was making.
You state, "Just ask around, this witch has put a spell on a LOT of us car guys."
Although I have only followed posting on this board for a year or so, everything I've seen posted by this lady or posted in regards to her has been nothing but complimentary. For you to take my post any other way well, is wrong. I simply posted " She must have cast a spell on more than just your truck" to which you just agreed.

END OF STORY
