It could have been one of these

But then again it  could be just a Factory Five Datona Coupe with Chrome Vinyl wrap on it.  The driver did not think that out very well.

Let out an audible groan at that.  Wife popped her head into the office and I had to show her.  She didn't get it.

Doesn't matter if its a kit car or the real deal, it was still a lot of time and effort.

That's what scares me watching Jay Leno driving some of those cars around  city streets and on the freeway , 

Too many people not paying attention !

Kid I used to work with had a beautiful '69 Chevelle.  Bright yellow, beautifully chromed bumpers, trimwork, everything.

Got rearended while sitting at a light in the left turn lane.  Person in the Accord "didn't see he was there".

The pisser was, he had just paid something like $15k for it, and this was a lot of money for a Chevelle at the time but it was also nicer than 99.9% of the cars out there...  and the other party's insurance company valued a thirty year old Chevy at $500, take it or leave it.

That is a lesson on assured value insurance.  Sad but how it is.

There's a reason I don't bother with going through the other person's insurance when I get hit.  They don't work for you.  Go through your own insurance and let the lawyers fight it out.  That's why they get paid.

Hate to break it to you, but neither does your insurance company. They work for shareholders.

From what I've read from SKJSS's POV I would probably disagree with you there.

Shareholders don't like it when customers completely back out of a company.  Why do they do that? By not getting what they pay that company for.

Just a heads up on Tick Tock-it's owned by the chinese government and the browser has a keystroke logger.

You'd have to be nuts to install it.
