[s-cars] Another one bites the dust

[Floyd Noel]

Well the insurance company got back to me today, they've totalled the  
s-car. I'm really not sure how fixable it is, as pretty much the whole  
front-end of the car is jacked up. I have some pictures that I can  
email if some one would like to look. I keep thinking I should fix it,  
but then I go take a look at it and don't think the effort would even  
come close. I think I could buy another s-car for less. If anyone  
wants some parts, let me know- although the engine/ecu/pos are spoken  
for (for now). My friend whom I had just recently converted to Audis  
said that I must not have prayed to the Audi gods hard enough and so  
they took my car as a sacrifice, I guess everyone just assumes that  
the Audi gods are tempermental... There is an //S8 for sale nearby....  
Hmmmmm
