freefallfreak 0 #1 February 7, 2005 Well, Dudes and Dudettes...while I was sick (6 months of cancer treatments) i was unable to rebuild the Polar Bear. I totaled it out at the end of the drag strip (brakes failed to stop me and the drag chute didn't deploy) before I got sick. I had started on it but was unable to complete the job. Some friends took it upon themselves to rebuild it as a get well present without me knowing about it. I was too sick to go to the garage where I store it so I had no idea this was going on. I'm so ferking proud of my friends, both here and in the gearhead world, that I'm gonna share the pic's. Ya'll gotta look up the old pic's in the archives to understand the transformation, lol.

AggieDave 6 #3 February 7, 2005 BADASS!!!!! FFF. I'm glad to hear that your friends took care of you. Good things do happen to good people, although I'm sorry to hear about the cancer treatments (I'm sorry bro, I didn't know). Take care of yourself and try not to wreck the legend car Polar Bear this time.

freefallfreak 0 #15 February 15, 2005 Hey man, happy to hear from you. I did the last chemo the 2nd week in December, got the results on the 22nd. No trace left of the cancer, thank God. (Does Snoopy Happy Dance around room.) The Bear is running at top form, too. He got me a ticket (73 mph in a 55 mph) at $180.00 and 4 points, lol. Damn car....Hey, wanna' buy a Polar Bear (before I lose my license)??? TripleF "Upon seeing the shadow of a pigeon, one must resist the urge to look up."

freefallfreak 0 #24 February 15, 2005 I'm not sure my friends would appreciate the trade, lol. And I can't handle a beater, unless it's a female boyfriend beater that wants to bring a little excitement into my rather drab, dull, dreary life, lol.
