	I must admit that I'm in total shock over this statement.  Goes against
every experiance I've had with insurance companies.  Who pray tell, is your
insurance co.?

actual sales and ads for V8 5 speeds above 20k, then they wrote out a check
for 19K (original estimate was 16k, so that's what they started with, then
it climbed to 19 and they paid no questions asked).  Otherwise we were
going to court, and they knew they'd loose.

	Still numb from the shock.
