Brian, That looks more like a good project car.

Or are you going to part it out to support the rest of your fleet?

Gonna part it out.... the bumper grille and hood are already gone... for the Greenie.

Some one wants a rear quarter panel

I may keep the rims

The Defroster control is spoken for. and all the cruise control crap and cluster may stay other than that... Then Willam has dibs.

After that...

Brian, I might have to make a wager and see if I can drink ya under the table for the defroster controls. Ok, well, I know there is no way in hell of that working in my favor, but it could be fun trying :P

I'll have to look at things a bit better when I'm back at home to see what I might need.

Glad to hear that the insurnace company is coughing up the dough.

Sorry I've been silent this week, I'm in Orlando on business and the hotels wirelss connection suck, then again, I'm staying at the Hilton, and it's well known that at least one Hilton and the term "sucks" goes hand in hand, so.....ok, bad joke.

Anyway, been super busy and tonight is the real first chance I've been able to cruise the net. I'll be in touch once I get back and get settled back in.

Yesterday was kinda crappy, misting/raining and a high in the 40's but today is excellent. It's in the 70's and I'm really missing my bike right now.

However, all I have to drive around in is an 06' Mustang that only had 5 miles on it when I picked it up from the rental place at the airport. :twisted:

I wish. Only Hertz has those and you have to be a "Gold Member" to rent one as well as be in one of the only 5 major cities where those cars are offered up.

Sadly, I had to use Avis, Orlando isn't one of the 5 places Hertz offers those cares, I'm obviously not a gold member and I don't think the company would have signed off on me renting that damn thing at all.

Not that I wouldn't have paid outta pocket for a crack at one of those. :shock:

I'll try and get some batteries for my old digi cam and crack off a few shots of the stock pony I've been racking miles up in. I still need to go out and get one last meal on the company.

What happened Brian? Did you guys get some bad icy conditions or something?

Seems like you get one problem fixed, and then...

No icy roads, I don't think ice forms at 60 degrees...Daughter not paying attention when driving............but I have laid down the law.

I didn't mention that She had ruined two rims. the wheel is pushed to the rear of the ARCH it is not centered, the wheel bearing is making noise. She hit the curb so hard it popped of a moulding, screwed the alignment of the hood to the fenders, and caused the passengers top latch to come open. And the CV axle rubbed against the rear of the inner arch, not to mention tha tshe threw the alignment out of wack to beat it all.


I am hoping that the frame isn't torqued.

No Driving at all on any of my cars untill all conditions are met.

1. Medical statement from a doctor that her "blackouts" are over.
2. Defensive Drivers course taken and passed.
3. Substance Abuse Course taken and passed.
4. All Damage repair costs paid in full.

funny thing is Momma has agreed that she needs to be clamped down on.

This is the most important piece of the pussle right there. While it seems you have been loosing the battles, looks like you might be winning the war.
