[V8] My V8 might be sold...

Tue Jan 20 20:07:11 PST 2009

So sorry to hear. I hate it when people chicken out like that and  
don't call to apologize.

If it makes you feel any better, I was about to leave the office to go  
to the Post Office when I found out that my '93 V8 had been hit so  
hard in the driver's rear corner that the whole car had moved 45  
degrees. Plus sheet metal damage, broken bumper cover and a tendancy  
to want to veer right...

I am not happy either.
