True that they were lucky nobody got hurt but insurance money doesn't cover emotional ties. I've had my car for almost twenty years now and no amount of money is worth losing that history. I've said it before and I'll say it again....I wouldn't take a million bucks for my car.

Pretty scary thought Sieg. When I heard this happened to you I didn't think that it could have been worse but it could have.

Glad things worked out for the better.

"It is my belief that if you create a car with your bare hands, it has a soul. It was extremely hard to let her go. So before I watched her leave, I had a few minutes alone. I kissed her on her intake and wiped a tear from her hood and said goodbye".

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

I'm with Mark, it's a CAR. Now, I can understand the sentimental value if you have memories of building it with your kids/Dad, or using it with your family, etc...
