For some reason I don't think that will buff out.

That left a mark.
I take it not the one from Maryland?

Hopefully another saved-by-928 story out there somewhere, pretty amazing the crumple zone/largely intact passenger compartment. Well, discounting the jump seats....more reason to consider those pmere added cargo area.

The auction house is local to me - 20 miles. I will pick it up early next week so we will see a lot more details. Had a TX title.

Yeah, if it were a row bote that wouldn't have happened. All because of the trans.

Yes the plastic shim will fix your hatch rattle. I can give you a contact to buy it right here in TX, but the guy's a bit of a git, wot.

Hatch rattle? Hatch rattle? Looks to me like the damned thing's been wrecked. I think I'd reevaluate my car buying criteria... just sayin'.

You know how easy it is to straighten out a ball of tin foil, this should be a breeze.

This is true, I was there. She sounded so very happy about just that. I've not heard from him today so I wonder if he's still breathing.

And look! There's still a good battery box cover!!

You guys are killin' me. I've never chased a problem that far! Ya know...sometimes it's just time to let it go.



I overheard a conversation at the Spring Fling after the wine had been flowing. It went something like this..."Roger, why don't you sell all that junk and use the money to get a 911 (variant)."
