Coupe Hit From Behind (90 cq)

[Lloyd McClelland]

I was rear ended today in the 88 80q by a F250, the 80q is lowered and the
pick up bumper hit across the rear lights bent things up pretty good, the
body shop is talking total it but I'm fighting it... Hope mine turns out as
good as yours!  Lloyd in Eureka, Calif.
