Hopefully he got some tickets and an expensive tow. You have full coverage?
Yes full coverage with a $500 deductible. Hitch is hiding under the bumper cover. The hitch cover was in the highway and I wasn't going to risk my life to pick that up. He seemed like a nice kid, just bad luck. My daughter thought he was CUTE. :rolleyes:

Got rear ended by an uninsured motorist. As always several mistakes led to this. First there was an accident about a mile ahead in the opposing lanes where a truck had run off the road and people were slowing down to rubber neck, second a few hundred yards ahead of us there was a wide load in the right lane so people were merging into the left lane to go around, third there was a 'hazard ahead' message and I took my foot off the gas to see what was up but I did not brake, third the young man behind us didn't leave enough distance. As I was slowing down I saw a white grill fill my rear view mirror so I pushed ******* the brake so he wouldn't push us into the car ahead of us and BAM! I really think he bent the frame a bit because i have to hold the steering wheel a half inch to the right on the highway now. Any guesses on the cost of this???

Where do you guys order from to get spring clamps for the cooling system? All the different sizes for all the hose locations? Having a hard time looking up the right ones.

Yesterday - washed it, "admired" all the custom pinstriping.
Topped off the e85(3.29/gal...87 was 5.50) drove 130mi with some traffic to Santa Barbara. Averaged 11mpg.
Drove around a bit today, brought 8.5gal gas can with me since there's no corn around these parts.
Be driving back 130mi soon, once traffic dies down a bit.

E85 is the same price or a bit more than regular 87 in my neck of the woods.

She managed to keep that 11 average all the way back even with that traffic.
Still says I have about a hundred miles till empty... That will change quickly on my daily commute tomorrow. I'll probably have to fill up on the way home.
