Well, lots of car related news today. first off, my brothers '95 GT that was hit a little over a week ago(some of you saw the other post with the pics) is totalled. insurance called him today, he's looking at $5500... woulda been $6500 had there not been a $1000 deductible, but oh well... he's still going to turn in the $900 receipt for the KDW's he bought 5 days before the accident, and see if he can get reimbursed that. he's going to the body shop today with mutual friends(who are co-owner of the shop) to see if they'll let him take the Cobra R hood, Rims and the Sony Head unit and 2 amps... who knows... other news.. my transmission went to be with God saturday. just so happens i found another for $600 in Spartanburg, S.C., luckily for me, my mom is coming to visit(supposedly to see all of us, but it's a cover up to see her grandbaby, she really doesn't care about my wife and I) but she's stopping in spartansbrug and picking my tranny up for me tomorrow on her way here, so save me in shipping... man how things work out!

how bad is the totaled car? is it worth making a offer on to the ins company? Could it be parted out and show a profit over what you could pay to get it back for? Good luck on your trans quest :angel:

They said about $5000 worth od damage... we're waiting to see what the insurance will let it go for... my bro and i might go in halfs on it, and also on a storage unit to keep it in, till i get back to Houston next year. then part it out.

All grandparents are the same way. They love grandchildren, because they always go home to mom and dad. They just want to spoil them for a while, then give you back a screwed up spoiled kid.

Props to grandparents, payback is a bitch.
