Well I have been without a vehicle for two weeks now. I got word Friday that the valve cover I drove over in the gas satation that took out my coolant lines and bent my frame has cost me the vehicle. The frame is unrepairable with out replacing the whole frame so the insurance company is writting it off. I have not got my settelment dollar total yet, may-be later today. Sill hard to believe that running over a piece of 3/8" x 36" x 36" plate at 3-5 mph could total a frame.

Hard to believe that could actually bend the frame. Sorry it happened Michael.

I guess that might be a good thing since gas prices have gone through the roof.

We're in the market for 2 cars, my daugher wants me to buy a volkswagon beatle. I keep telling her that the next car we buy is going to be light enough that she can push it to the gas station.
