    Nick will be missed by all his friends enjoyed going to car shows with him. One of the fun times I remember we’re going down 71 highway raining and there’s an off ramp and I slowed down Nick was behind me in his T bucket. I was in the roadster I had a big fat tires and he got soaking wet we had a lot of great fun times.
