After searching ebay and toy shops for two years I finally located the mascott I have been looking for. A near mint 1979 edition of Beetle Bailey's Otto. At nearly two feet tall I am sure he will be a hit this season in the M37
Oh I am always buying parts Gary That reminds me I have to pick up that extra front axle I bought from a fellow last year .
All kidding aside, it was a bittersweet day when Otto came in UPS this week. It was also the day I learned that Jimmie D passed from injuries sustained in a horrific accident in CA while driving his Town Wagon. Jimme was a long time email and Dodge PW chat room buddy of mine, Charles, and a great many others over on the civvy forum. He was loved by many and well respected on the PW Advisor blog as well. A true man of faith and Dodge PW brother, he was critically injured when a gal in a speeding blazer went LOC and hit him head on. He probably drove that road hundred's of times. Rest in peace Jimmy.
One never knows when the Lord will call us home so live each day to the fullest my friends

So sorry to hear of losing Jimmy; you are absolutely right, David with your message to all, live life to the fullest, as you won't know when it's "your time".
