4xbill Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Nice find! Careful what you ask for in finding that deck. Here in NJ a few years ago, someone lost the new mattress that was on top of their vehicle on the Turnpike. They called the state police to ask if anyone found it on the highway. They said "Oh yes, and we've been looking for you." Apparently it got wedged under an 18 wheeler. It wasn't noticed until the trucker pulled in to a toll booth to pay his toll. At that point the mattress had burst into flames, set the truck on fire and burned down part of the toll plaza. Fortunately no one was injured. However it destroyed the truck, part of the toll booth and ticked off alot of drivers who got stuck in the traffic it caused. Hope you find the deck anyway. Just reminded me of that story.:o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuaareed Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Nice finds Paul, so did you find the deck on the side of the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-17_Dave Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 The deck was definately worth going back for. Looks like an older model with a deck shell replacement at some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
