I didn't have so pleasant of an interaction with Dan. It was bad enough that I don't give out my phone number anymore.

The date on the appeal verdict is 11/27/19

I am kind of shocked he was charged with obstruction.
In N.C. - cases i have known friends involved with, refusal normally just leads directly to an automatic conviction and loss of license.

Its usually cheaper that way.
But a few more complications on getting license reinstated when time comes.

Supposing he must have really put on a show at the DUI processing center or during the whole fiasco start to finish.
They put some extra nails in his butt for being "difficult".

The obstruction conviction seems even more burdensome than a DUI conviction.

I'm not a lawyer in any capacity
Its just an eye-opener to me.
And i have some good questions at the next "biker lawyer" free seminar Q&A.

Very Sorry that all these things have happened to this fellow.
Push and Shove with government entities is a terrible place to land.

Anyone know where his blue 68 L78 went? I sold it to him in the early 90s while in the military. It was my first car and I would love to find it. Still had the original CA license plate with it last time I saw it in ~05 vnd268. Had a 427 with Muncie 4 speed.. Thanks.. Damon

For those who knew Dan. RIP

Dan and Bill Z were the sole reason I found the '68 Dick Harrell Chevelle. Dan was the one who put the partial VIN's on the Chevelle board. We would chat every couple of months. I'll miss him.

Too bad hes gone.
I tried to get hold of him for several years.
It was Dan who figured out I had Heavys Camaro.

RIP Dan he helped a friend of mine with a car.

Carleen, which Camaro is that?

RIP Dan. He helped me when I was looking for a '68 L79 Chevy II quite a number of years ago. Great resource if you were looking for info on a historical old race car or a dealer special like a Baldwin-Motion, Yenko, etc.

Wow, sorry to hear about Dan. He really got into researching some of the old musclecars and did rub some people the wrong way. I talked to him a few times about different cars and never had any issues with him. I had heard he was having some health issues but sorry to hear he passed.

Spoke to Dan a bunch of times, he always pushed me to find out more info about some Bklyn Heavy cars I had info on, he knew a lot about them that is for sure. He was a unique individual, but had quite a passion for those obscure cars. I'm sure he's in Joel Rosen's face as we speak, lol. RIP

Ha. He probably figured he better get up there first to meet him at the gate and denying him entrance for not verifying his Nova! I kid because I care!

Interestingly, I texted Dan a a few weeks after he passed to let him know Rosen died. I didn't know at the time Dan had passed either.
