[V8] What Car Next

[32VQUATTRO]

Bill, Tell the insurance company to go pound sand! I just went round and 
round with a trucking companies insurance. They tried to give me 2900 for 
mine. I told them to find me a replacement for 2900 that had all the work I 
just put into it. My repair estimate was for 4200. we ended up agreeing on a 
value of 6300 for my car. They cut me a check for the 4200, and I just 
picked up a 91 5-spd with it. As for the 92', she is all put back together 
and is enjoying daily driver status as my wife's new used car.
