Anyone heard from Brent this week?

I drove up past Spokane last week to pick up a car, and we were going to meet up for lunch afterwards. There was a terrible windstorm the night before, 100 MPH wind, many trees were toppled, roofs torn off, and lots of accidents on the road. I tried calling, and left PM's here, but no reply. Perhaps it's a matter of the power still being out there, but it still raises concern.

Let's hope it is just a power-out issue. I went over a week without power after an ice storm in Swansboro (Placerville)

The East side was hit pretty hard. I read this morning there are still 30,000 or so without power. And another storm is on the way..

No fun..

Hopefully, Doc is snug as a bug - but if anyone wants to extoll the virtues and beauty of the '59 lineup,

now's your chance!

Not only paint the desoto red and white, but also put a roof on it and shorted it and turn it into a firesweep

Only way to make it better would be to convert it to a 59

Hope he is ok and just tottering about in his model T

I think "Big M" has a couple of 59 Dodge front clips.

We could surprise Doc , not only with a "Plodge", but a "Multi year one"!

Brent Berger's the name, De Sotos are the game.
Let's hope the old boy ain't pushin' up daisies jist yet.

Like Don said, he's probably out there hustling car show trophies - or pickin' out red paint for his Fireflite.

I like this thread. A good roast for a friend who temporarily can't defend himself.

Mike --
I thought I saw him in Motor City trying to trade his DeSoto even-steven for a baby blue 1999 Miata. He was telling the salesman, "Look this is a classic. They don't make 'em like this anymore." To which the salesman replied, "Thank God!"

I'm sure the Doc is just busy installing wire wheels, fury trim, a benrus clock, fuzzy dice & a mirror-matic on his Plaza. He's finally seen the light of bling and is in a transformation stage. He'll emerge at any moment to show off his new goodies. It is either that or he has been doing the tango with Afghans again. Either way, it is going to be fun when he finally emerges.

I like "Doc" - his comments are entertaining regardless of whether they are pro or con, he is knowledgeable about these FL cars and is very helpful, lets it be known what he likes and dislikes without any gray area, and, this is very important, he actually posted something complimentary regarding my '59 DeSoto Firesweep 4 door sedan!

Hurry back Doc.......we miss you!

Doc has been sighted. It seems all of his red/white comments have made him a very bad enemy. Hopefully he fares better than the average high school jock.

The Doctor is in.

Yeah, we had a windstorm, alright ! Tore the #@! roof right off my shop and
made chop suey of the power grid. Without power for 7 days and still only have
spotty web access via a backdoor wi-fi access. Things are getting back to normal
around town, but every contractor in town has a 6 month backlog of work now !

With no power at home or at work, I grabbed my logging gear and spent a week
cutting trees off of houses and clearing roads, etc. It was a helluva mess.

Somehow, I got my roof peeled 100% and wrapped the whole lid the day before
another snow came - whew ! Now, temps are hovering in the low twenties/high
teens and I will just hope for a mild winter (wind-wise) to allow the tarping to do
it's job until warm weather allows a proper roof installation.

Thanks for the "roast". Got a good laugh. I may be "opinionated", but freely
admit that opinions are like axxholes ..... everybody has at least one ! Mine is
just another fart in the great chorus of flatulence.

Many had it far worse than I did. Most of these stupid fools getting hit with trees
because they thin them (leaving those remaining to take the full force of the wind)
or they water them, causing the trees to not put down long tap roots like they would
naturally, OR just the obvious planting of non-native species like spruce that act like
giant sails and have a naturally shallow root "footprint". The storm really tore these
up and dropped them on every possible power line in my zip code area - which was
the worst hit of the entire storm - or on houses, shops, cars, etc.

The night OF the storm, roads were so blocked with trees, downed power lines,
smashed cars that I had to zig-zag all over the place to find clear paths, driving across
lawns and using sidewalks just to get home. It was crazy ! The next morning, I got
up at dawn, ran out to Cheney (about 20 miles away) and got my chainsaw, chokers,
drop lines, etc. and came back into town to help those who had REAL messes on their
hands. No sense staying home or going to work. Power was out everywhere.
