Drove it home rigged, reinforced a replacement cable with solder and installed it late that night when security wasn't looking. It was very much a (-) moment.dunebuggy4https://www.blogger.com/profile/04432182163223893256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-65750123457027865472011-07-09T08:55:56.654-04:002011-07-09T08:55:56.654-04:00Great story.

Peter is still very much loved and missed everyday all over the world. and thank you god for sharing him with us. he was a very special one in a million kind of guy who is missed very much down here. the world just hasnt been the same since he has been gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-32442978779234397002011-07-08T22:48:31.865-04:002011-07-08T22:48:31.865-04:00The pic's so... wow, that's so great.

They're so discriptive and well written.<br /> I believe people treat their people much the same way they treat their cars. To have known Pete, or for that matter to know any member of the Ratajczyk family, must involve one wild ride. <br />Completely supporting your quest!dunebuggy4https://www.blogger.com/profile/04432182163223893256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-68512021139819345222011-07-08T22:27:19.406-04:002011-07-08T22:27:19.406-04:00lol. soo love your stories, had a bad day and nigh...lol. soo love your stories, had a bad day and night and this story made me laugh cause I can also relate to it a bit...my mom wanted one of those yellow beetle cars at one time..she said it was a cute car and were like omg..lol.I can see it though cause my mom is short too so it probably fit her..lol. there was a family friend that did those little car tricks like rocking the car..stuff like that while driving and taking us little ones for a ride..back when they didnt have the seatbelt law. oh and my brother when he drove..omg..lol..I had to hold on for dear life too..he was a maniac when he drove..lol. he was the type that swore at other drivers if they got in his way..lol...one time he had this little truck with only 2 front seats and he came to pick me up before his or after his band he was in at that the time did a practice session..and since there was no room or a trunk to put his electric guitar in (it was in this big black heavy case)I had to hold on to the dang thing while he drove to take me somewheres dont remember where, but I remember having to hold on to that heavy thing and try not to get killed by his driving at the same time..lol. thank goodness hes calmed since then when he got married and had his 3 boys...his first born is driving now and I wonder if he picked up his dads driving habits..if he did omg..lol..feel sorry for whoever has to ride with him. hopefully though hes not that bad.<br />anyways another good story and so looking forward to the next one. helps me feel somewhat better with all thats goin on in my life these days..always look forward to a good story that makes me laugh..thanks for that. it makes my day a bit better and not as gloomy.<br />everybody have a good weekend over there.stay safe,healthy and take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-57284211209256714122011-07-08T19:49:43.818-04:002011-07-08T19:49:43.818-04:00Love is but the song we sing,

Knowing how the traffic is in New York it doesn't surprise me that Peter (or the sisters, for that matter) drove the way he did. You almost have to drive that way in New York to get anywhere! But I'm with you Darcie, I would've been holding on to anything I could get my hands on, while hoping we would get to where we were going in one piece!<br />Thanks for this--you made my day. :)<br />Love & Gratitude--Patty PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-42291786042965451942011-07-08T12:24:31.684-04:002011-07-08T12:24:31.684-04:00ROFL!!!

I don't see my comments? <br />This story, well again showing a side of Peter that is playful, mischevious, always entertaining and caring. What a man!! What a huge talent and caring brother, uncle. I love these stories where you're tooling thru New York, my old neighborhoods (I'm from NY). I miss that. Makes me want to hop on a plane right now and fly out. Thinking of you all again today. I don't know if you got my message from yesterday so I'll repeat it because it was Ringo Starr's B/Day yesterday. He sent message to the world. I know Peter was Beatle fan. So please spread Peace and Love to all:<br /><br />• Ringo Starr<br />Don't forget to join the wave of Peace & Love as it continues this July 7, 2011<br /><br />Whether you say it along with a crowd, out loud as you go about your day, Tweet it or simply think the words, we hope you will join Ringo, on his birthday, in celebrating “Peace & Love” wherever you are at Noon your local time.<br /><br />We love you all Ratajczyk family. You are all in my prayers.Rosemarie Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-82571373687109524262011-07-08T10:37:52.681-04:002011-07-08T10:37:52.681-04:00Hi!

Several friends of mine had seen it in Brooklyn while working throughout the years and told me it was a sight to behold. I met Peter and Josh when I won a contest on Q104.3 back in 1994 and we had dinner at Peter Lugers....but I have to admit I was disappointed when they arrived by cab and not that awesome car!!! Oh well...it was still a great time of course.steve decknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-74876358538146221482011-07-08T09:06:34.708-04:002011-07-08T09:06:34.708-04:00I love the picture & the stories to the car - ...I love the picture & the stories to the car - a chick magnet ;-) but perfect for Pete as I can imagine.
