[s-cars] Another one bites the dust

[Floyd Noel]

They are giving me valuing the car (93 w/194k) at $6700. I have $1000  
deductible and am paying $300 to keep the car, so I'm getting a check  
for $5400. The insurance company is unitrin. I'll check on the  
condition of those parts and send you pics. Oh BTW, I paid about $5k  
for the car when I bought it.
