We can and will rebuild our home (but not in the forest) and rebuild our lives. I'm sure the new spyder will help things get back to normal!

Thanks so much for the update and the good news. Best wishes on your road to recovery!

Good luck with the silver I hope you enjoy it.

Dave,

Did they let you keep the old Spyder?? You could make one hell of a go cart with the Rotax engine.

I don't know how I missed this post before, but sorry to hear of your loss. Best of luck with the new

Silver is the fastest color...

I missed the original thread and am glad to hear you guys are doing OK. Maybe your new 2011 silver RT should be named Phoenix since it sounds like you guys are rising out of this mess with a positive outlook. I pray it gets better as each day goes by.

We found a rental house for a year while we rebuild somewhere to be determined.. can't use the rotax for a go cart as the block melted along with everything else dancogan We just came through your state Farran, Wifes brother died in Kansas City, love driving through the boston mountains. someday we will take the 3 wheeled version.

I have heard that silver is faster, should be able to find out next week!

Glad to hear you are putting one foot in front of the other and getting on with your lives. Not easy after what you've been through. I've often thought that if I experienced a disaster like that, that I might just sit and cry. I'll bet you did some crying too. Good luck to you as you carry on. Having the Spyder has got to help melt the blues. Best of luck to you and your family.

**ThreeFeet** · 10-13-2011, 04:08 PM

I agree with DynamoBT I would just sit and cry for ever I think. My prayers go out to you and your family. Best of everything when you get to rebuild. Today I wish for you a day of ordinary miracles...... A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself........ An unexpected phone call from an old friend.............. Green stop lights on your way to work.............The fastest line in the grocery store............. A good sing along song on the radio.........Your keys found right where you left them.......... and best wish of all............ a new

by your side or at least in the garage!!!! May all your wishes come true. Think positive and they will.

Just an update... picked up the 2011 rts se today.. really strange not having a clutch, but really shifts well. I will have to get used to it. Really beautiful metalic silver. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. Now for the mods. Already ordered the utopia backrest. Does anyone use the chatterbox? The helmets I got are bt ready for the chatterbox, but I had the scala g4's. what recomendations are out there?

I wish you all the best as you put your lives back together. There have to be better days ahead for you and your family. Strength and courage to you all in the days ahead.

Glad to hear things are on the mend.

[QUOTE=FrankPa;375155]Of course, I agree with the above... I hope you get back into shape quickly. As many of you know, I lost my wife a few months ago, and a lot of those pics in my pocket can NEVER be taken again!:^)[/QUOTE
Teddy & I have added y'all to our prayer list for the strength to get thru this. 3 years ago, a fire destroyed everything I owned, minus a hoody, pair of socks & the boxer shorts I was wearing, standing in the snow, my hands clutched around a waste paper basket with my pet chinchilla inside & a towel over it, I watched silently as fire destroyed everything. When it was all done & over, I had a much GREATER Appreciation of what really matters in life & that is family & friends & those that we love. As mentioned by FrankPa above, my biggest true loss was of photos of my mother that had passed away a couplevyears prior, that were never duplicated or backed up. When I saw the montage wooden frame charred black & burnt, all the photos history, thats when I truly felt loss.

We pray for your well being & that brighter days will come. Your not alone, if you need anything, just ask.]
