Is it just me or do Ryan's threads/posts remind anyone else of the game of "LIFE"???

I mean... Spin the wheel and see what comes up during the next turn!~

At least that's one reassuring fact about the T-Bird I'm using for my DD, now; I only paid $950 for it and have maybe $300 in it, but the book value on it is somewhere closer to $2000 or better. I'm kinda hoping some old fart with good insurance will back up into my front-end with their RV or something so I can replace my already jacked-up front bumper fascia, header panel, and hood.

Damage estimates seem to be better when you take 'em to a dealership ... because we all know how much they like to charge for every little thing.

The last time I got a fender smooshed in by a retard (big delivery truck sliding downhill on ice in KC), it was on a '91 TransAm. Just a fender and the edge of the front bumper fascia, and the estimate was about $2,600 when I took it to a Pontiac dealer. Oh well ... deliver company paid that fatty check for the repairs, and I got all of my rock chips fixed in the process. (Sold the car a month later and got a '94 Crown Vic Interceptor. )
