I still tune in here I just don't post like I used to. I miss the old format it was a lot more community friendly and you could post more then five photos to complete a post.

Ten years later Woody rides inside the car on the APCO steering column brace.

The back story behind Woody is that I literally stumbled upon him in a parking lot getting out of our 15 Roadster. It was on the first trip to the grocery store in our then new to us T. I got out of the car and immediately stepped square on Woody laying in the parking lot. I twisted my ankle stepping on him and from that point on he has ridden with me in the T everywhere I go. In the beginning he rode on the radiator (As in the photo) Later on I invited him into the car on the steering brace. As Paul Harvey would say "And that's the rest of the story! "

That's tragic about poor Woody... but it could have been worse... it could have been Mary Poppins... or even The Flying Nun... either would take out a radiator for sure!

I was driving home from work one day, and passed a truck headed the other way, with a REALLY large size Bart Simpson spread-eagled face first into his huge radiator. It cracked me up!
