[s-cars] Totaled 95.5 S6A

[Douglas Landaeta]

Jack,

God bless or praise whatever you believe in! Are you okay now? That sounds
like a very horrific accident. I wish you all the best with the recovery. It
will take time. I wouldn't try to do too much too soon. Take it easy dude...

The insurance dollars are very good. Don't sign away your rights on the pain
and suffering end.get a good lawyer and be patient. You're not out of the
woods yet. Take the small piece ($600) of the insurance and buy back the
carcass. Avoid the risk of losing the value of all the goodies. You'll just
be looking for them again in the next UrS. Cover it in your driveway and
deal with it later.

There are some fairly nice examples floating around, unfortunately I
wouldn't really want someone else's mods, I'd have to recreate what I'd want
and like from boost to suspension. A few of those California cars look good,
but high mileage, There was a Utah sedan I think at barely 150k miles. Good
luck and my best to your health and speedy recovery.

Doug
