I missed a previous post...So the front end should cost you _that_ much...could
it?  I'd try to see if any listers are close enough to go look at it.

> The car is in Ouray, Colorado, 300 miles or seven hours away from me in

> The right front wheel is now pressed back against the wheelwell.  I

> Have a yard pick the car up
>   I probably get nothing, maybe they pay my towing bill?

> Go and get the car, take it to a yard myself
