[ba] Wrecked V8 continuum

[Shayne]

Good points.  The car is still licensed in WA.  A state that does not issue
salvage titles on a car older then 6 years.  Actual damage mechanically is
quite minimal.

As for the shop, that will be VERY hard to prove as there were 3 shops that
worked on the alignment the same day.  So no, I have not even contacted the
shops.  Therefore no admit to fault.
