No Miriah your wrong. Ralph was not ok after the crash . He must have taking a major blow to the head. I only say that because after he rolled his car he bought an IMPORT ( Nissan )

I remember one of my last drives in Ralph's car, he was in the process of putting it mostly back to stock and still had the race built transmission in there along with the race tune but the high stall torque converter was swapped out for the stock one.
That car shifted SO HARD when he put it into drive or reverse it literally felt like someone had just slammed into the car at 20mph LOL.
Made for a fun ride around Manhattan though LOL, I think we drove by the World Trade Center site only a month or two after 9/11/01 in that car.

It was the 4 of us in one car but now I'm not totally positive that it was the very same trip that we took the T/A into the city.
I thought it was the same night that we went to that 'space ship/outer space' restaurant where it really felt like we were going to another planet for hamburgers LOL and I know we were in his T/A on that particular visit.

Well that night we did not take the TA because I think he had his g/f at the time with us. I do remember her being there and Ralph saying "you'll never get change in any of the stores or stands' and I walked out with change 2 mins after I walked in to get it! he he.

I know we did a drive by with Surya.

eh what ever - LONG time ago...

You're right, we either took two cars or that was a totally different time maybe.
