My 1993 Volvo 965 that was previously 2JZGTE powered was waiting for another engine and a tree decided it was time to make that not happen. I guess that leaves me with more time to focus on the 765 Challenge car

I can't upvote this, and I am sure as heck not going to downvote you.

I've been watching around the house to make sure things were safe.  I had to make hard choices.  Igor got put on a trailer attached to the Suburban in hopes that a car in tow would be covered.  Not my first choice but the only one I had with where the cars sat.

I'm sorry to see this. The extent of the damage is almost incomprehensible. 
I parked against the house and surrounded the Miata with some of the other cars and the truck, but conditions never got that bad here.

So the question is: Can I claim a zero cost for the E-code headlights, suspension, and big brakes for my challenge car since they were gifted to me by Ian?

Doesn't this just mean the upcoming engine swap will be into a vert?

It could be worse

 

But that IS just in time for a challenge swap.

Scroll about 20 pictures down to see another heartbreaker. You will know it when you see it.

Patrick Bedard once wrote a column about his time at Chrysler as a junior designer.  He was tasked with the wing for those cars, and drew up a light, intricate part.  His boss came by, and said "Nope. It's a stock car and needs to be sturdy as hell."

Looks true.

Sorry about the Volvo.

If it hit the roof, just cut it off and make it into a big roadster.
