Time goes by fast

5 years since Dart Girl passed away.

And almost 16 yrs. since Unlawfl passed.



Tim

And 19 years since my mother has passed

And 22 years since my beautiful wife died...

Two years since my daughter died.

How long has Stu Harmon been gone ? Didn't he pass on in late November 2018 ?

Whoa.......getting away from death for a moment if you don't mind.

I was thinking about this in terms of cars I've had over the years and how different the time is now compared to then.

I had a '76 Club Cab back in '89 that I drove a LOT, swapped in a 440 out of a cop car, cleaned up the frame (painted it) made the interior more comfortable and basically drove the wheels off it adding about 200K miles to it in the time I owned it. I have a LOT of memories of that truck, and it seems like I DID a lot with that truck. I owned it 6 yrs.

Fast forward to my wagon. I bought it with a rod knock, swapped in a 440 to get it moving until I could rebuild the original 400. Moparts member Zippy sold me some 400 parts to help with the rebuild as well as another member who hasn't been on here in eons and........nothing. Car became a driver as is for a few years being driven less and less until it finally hasn't left the garage in far too long. I got more accomplished on my Club Cab then I ever have with the wagon, and I drove the truck a TON more too. I have owned the wagon for 20 years and it pains me to admit, its in worse shape now than when I bought it. It's almost in worse shape than the truck, and that got junked.

The truck I feel like I owned it a lot longer than I did, the wagon I feel like I've had it a lot less.

And with each passing day, time seems to be going faster still.

When I was younger, I remember hearing old(er) people talking about how fast time passes, I had no clue just how fast they meant.

44 years ago today I got married! We are still together and in love. I can't imagine life without her. Gene

November 2019

Thank you. It seems like it has been longer. He was a great guy.

The Best

Does anyone have the pic of her hanging from the wing of that right hand drive purple Daytona?

Wow. A woman AND under 40 was a member here?

There have been a few women members here over the years.

Di is still a good friend of mine, and DusterGirl baked great looking cookies

Wonder what happened to that car

She was awesome, a good friend and loved my son. We hung out every time we met at a Mopar event from the (air conditioned) announcing tower at the nat's to the Moparts picnic at Norwalk with Unlawful to just having fun driving around in the right hand drive Daytona with my son pretending to be driving it to freak people out as she burned rubber to get their attention She was too cool.


Miss them ALL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Christopher missed DG a lot


Mike

Showed up to a roadkill nights event some years back. Same guy owned it at that time. Not sure what the deal is since I'm not a mod anymore but I think he's on permaban/don't get me started.

Lost Labratt/Randy Borowski as well who I really liked.
Lost my Dad back in '12, and a very good friend of about 25 years recently, out of nowhere.
I have 180/Unlawfl decals on my car to this day, I do miss Gary, and how odd it is I'd like to think he
would be proud of my progress in life (he was younger than me but did a whole lot more, a whole lot sooner).

My Mom is in rough shape these days as well.

Yep, that good(?) ol' natural progression of life.

Take care all

It was also on Mecum a few years ago (16?) went to six figures but didn't meet the reserve, don't know if it sold after that or if it was listed by the owner that Zippy mentioned? Still was a right hand drive during the Mecum showing, they told the story of the history of it and why it was converted. Be a shame to put it back to left hand drive. This photo of the surprised smiling look on my son's face in the left hand seat was after he realized that DG and I told him that he was going to drive and to get in the (former) driver's seat. When DG said let's go for a ride over to the Moparts picnic he ran for the right side door and we said "no not that side, go to the other side and you drive". He was excited and scared at the same time as he was too young to drive but he was going to give it a try. He opened the left side door, jumped in and then saw there was no steering wheel and knew we tricked him, gave DG the look but was still excited to go for a ride in a car with a giant wing on it. Great time that he never will forget.

DG used to stay at my place when she was on layover at O'hare. We had a lot of good times. RIP DG.

Didn't the Daytona belong to ONEBADSUPERBIRD here years ago? He and used to race each other back in the day with his bird and I thought he told me about 12 years ago that he imported the car back to the US.

I will throw a shout out and a RIP to a Great Guy, 9 Second Phil

I remember you posting a picture of her when she was just a kid. I think about you and your family often. July will be 7 years since Owen passed away. Doesn't seem possible. I still think about him every day. My three year old daughter talks about him a lot but doesn't understand why we can't go see him.

Dart Girl sent me some nice PMs when Owen was sick.

Did not know Dart Girl passed away. Anyone know what happened? Wasn't she a flight attendant?

I thought that I read here that it was suicide. I don't mean to be offensive or hurtful but I seem to remember someone here saying that she had some problems. It is a sad thing.

I would venture to say that MOST of the members here area lot closer to the end they the beginning.
With that I'll say enjoy today like its your last. Tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone of us.

Lost my mother in law this past April 1st.
Lost my nephew yesterday afternoon, he was just 34

I never met her, but I spoke with her over the phone over several years. I recall her organs were destroyed (prob kidneys or liver) and couldn't sustain that little body of hers anymore. So not suicide, but almost feels that way.

Yeah, she was working as a flight attendant but I don't think she was doing that when she passed. Someone more intimate with her may know.

(I only happened to know about the anniversary through a Facebook post.)

She was a very nice person and had a rough go of it with health issues. She was a real moparts character.

I had to correct this; she had a genetic issue, I believe with her liver. She had been given a terminal prognosis (weeks) but managed to hang on for another ten years. Eventually her body just gave out. She would gravitate to the dark side but I think that was her way of dealing with her condition. Once you got past the theatrics she was a regular person, and a good friend. Just goes to show you never know what someone is dealing with. Godspeed.

That is a name I hadn't heard of in a loooong time.

What happened to Onebad?

Dart girl was a pretty cool character on here. I'm glad somebody cleared up the reason for her passing. I knew it was physical health related and not mental health but didn't know all the details.

Last time I saw and talked to Dart Girl in person, was at Gary's funeral. That was when she had her Orange 70 Roadrunner. John (OneBadSuperbird) hasn't been on here in a long time. I've seen him at The Nats a few times, but it has been a while. Someone told me he had some heath troubles, but I don't know for sure. He must have rubbed some people the wrong way, but he has always been nice to me and I hope he's doing ok.

Does anyone keep in touch with Dustergirl340? Looked up her user name. It shows she hasn't posted since 9/2018, but shows she was online here as recently as 4/20/2021. Just curious.

Time does go by so fast. It sure seemed like I was 30 just a few years ago but now I realize I am more then twice that age.

the one guy i know always says : "your shopping days are fast running out !"
i think he may be right...........

FIXED

I have to give a shout out to heaven for my buddy Rick MrNormsTA, gone way too soon.

Ya I've been away for quite some time, didn't know she was gone, a bit weird but nice person. What happened with Stu?

With all of this, does anyone remember what happened to Fluffy from Michigan?
