Si. Your wish is my command, but be advised you'll see this photo again when we finally get around to the rustbucket portion of the tale. This is the first photo of the rustbucket I saw, from a classic cars web site in 2005. I think the picture was actually taken in 2004. Pardon the poor quality. This is exactly the way it appeared in the ad. Fuzzy, but it caught my attention.

Thanks Joel. Yeah, she did look awesome for a couple of years...and then she morphed into the old rustbucket. But that's gettin' way ahead of the story. First we have to get The Turtle out of Montana.
Niceeee!

That Sir does not look like a rust bucket.
Keeping on with old pics and kids, here is my youngest two years ago when she was 12 driving the cruiser...sorry, bad cell phone pics.

My youngest daughter and my 40:
Shazaam!
Any idea on when the turtle will be leaving Montana?
YES, I've finally caught up! 
Awesome story Lee! I've got a fishing trip planned to Yellowstone this fall and was planning on taking the 80 over there, but after reading your story, I think the trip might be more fun in the 40. (heck, gas mileage isn't even that different)
I'm looking forward to the rest of the story!

Really? Nothing to add to the whole experience other than "Shazaam"?
Sir, you missed something....
I asked for pics and Lee provided "yer wish is my command"
"Shazzaam" is the proper response to that..

Patience Sir, patience. The Turtle and I are workin' on it. The truth is, we just don't want to leave Montana. Here's an artsy pic of the old rustbucket to keep you interested. 15 degrees and covered with ice.
Proof that chrome WILL get you home.....
I hate chrome. But great photo!!!
