Raising the Titanic

Well here's the latest. (on my drowned 82 coupe)

The adjuster said the car is totalled.  Book value of $1475, and he said it
would cost $700 to clean and lube everything and another $1000 getting into
the engine, so already that's more than book.  Now I'm not arguing with his
numbers so far.  I paid $2300 three years ago for this car, and the cost the
properly resurrect it would certainly be more than the car would ever fetch.

So I'll get 1475 minus my deductible (250) minus the "salvage value" per the
adjuster.  Let's all please  genuflect to the appropriate supernatural
entities (Schrodinger's cat) and hope for a *small* salvage value so I can
get this boat (oops) rolling again.  Cleanup commences this weekend - I
wonder if it'll run?

PS thanks for the tips & help all, before this car drives anywhere it will
be drained, flushed, refilled & lubed thoroughly.
