It was going to happen sooner or later...right?

Wow, James glad to hear the insurance is taking care of it. If it was me my rates you definitly be going up. It doesn't matter how fast you were going, just remember a moving object hitting an unmoveable object. You know Physics and all that other crap. Glad you wasn't hurt the car can be fixed, but to bad it eats into your MM fund.

Yup...too bad, but $250 over $4115 is a lot better. I'll be driving our Mercury Villager for the next week or two while my dad drives the insurance paid for Hundai Snot-a.

Haha! Well, there's supermen, and then there are scots:up:

Hey, no rental car for us...My dad doesn't want to drive a Hundai for two weeks and doesn't want the van to get messed up...so I'll be bummin' rides!

Oh well, I didn't want the Hundai either...my sister had one while her car was in the shop once and it died on her several times...brand new.:lol:

Stuart is our one true born in Scotland, Scot. So don't be giving him a hard time. It is not smart picking on a man who wears a kilt, drinks Scotch like it's water and squeezes a sick cat for music. :lol:
 
My mother's last name is Elliott:up: .

My father's is Grueser (German...just a few of them in the U.S., Jewish we suspect)

My step-dad however, is puritan English. Dorman:shake:

Elliott is one of the Border clan familes, so you have Reiver blood in you. Go out a get the book "The Steel Bonnets" by George MacDonald Fraser it will tell the history of the border clans and a little about the Elliot family. I was told by one person that my Grandmothers family was a part of the Border clans (they are not mentioned in the book) and by another that they were Highlanders, so in the long run who knows?


Ladyhawke says HI and wants to know if you are coming to Indy are you going to be wearing a kilt?

Hey, my mom will take a great liking to that. Her family was all raised in or near the eastern mountian ranges as far as I know...so go figure. Little tiny bit of choctaw (there's usually indian somewhere for all the scots right:lol: ) Elliott is fairly common, double L double T...but Grueser...rhymes with loser...where've ya heard that before!

But then again, German and Scots, same thing almost...Germanic language or such? I know a little here and there but that's about it.


I WISH I were going to Indy...and if I were I'd wear a kilt...for about 10 minutes, but yeah I'd wear one:up:


Mom said she has the book and that she's traced back a little, besides Reiver...there's Patton, Robinson and Turner...and a few others she can't recall.

And of course I know nothing at all!:rolleyes: The Scots got really pizzed for good reason in 12 something and Mel Gibson made a great movie out of it...the start of democracy in the form of power to the people...yeah.
I am however interested!!!

IF the insurance company OKs the deal...I'll buy a cold air intake from Chris at ADTR.net. It will cost me $178 total and the Nationwide will take $125 (the price of a replacement airbox, which has a missing clamp and can only be fixed by a brand new airbox) from my deductable.

I hope Nationwide is really giving:up:

I have the book too and loved reading it. Remember a lot of the Border families had family on both sides of the border. Sometimes Scots would side with English to fight other Scots and English would side with Scots to fight other English. There are too many names for me to list read the book good history lesson.

Another history lesson many of the Border Clans sided with King Edward I, due to the fact that he promised them land and titles in Englang and Scotland and also many had exsiting fueds with the Highlang Clans. But, by the time of Bannockburn and Robert the Bruce most of Scotland was united and the Lowlanders and Highlanders were fighting as one people.

Yup, I'm payin' for it all, lucky I can afford it, it's $250 and they said if my premiums for insurance go up, which my agent doubted, they wouldn't go up much.

The Marquis should be back in my hands in a week. I will tell you how much the rental GM sucks...cuz I'm sure that's what I'll get:)

No shortcuts! Yup, glad my parents are cool about it!

I've seen a movie about all of this, but I fell in and out of sleep...two hours of all of that was too much for me on that particular day, and I haven't seen braveheart in a while.

But thanks for the refreshment of memory:up: :bows:
 
**EDIT** I don't want my friends to see this until it's installed, I'll repost this later...

Word is, the finish date is April 19th. That's this coming Monday. This is also the day my conical airfilter from AngryDuckTofuRacing should get to the guy who's in charge of my vehicle.

So I guess come Monday or Tuesday, I'll have uploaded photos of teeth marks all up and down my frame from it being straightened:depress:

But they cover a wide number of dealerships and the dealership that owns them is a Ford place, so I guess I was put in good hands!

Can't wait can't wait!!!
 
Well I went to the body shop today to check my baby and make sure she's alright.

Actually, on the side of the car damaged, it looks better than it did before I wrecked it! Everything fits together a little more nicely than before, and the new rim and side marker look cleaner.

HOWEVER I have two concerns.
1. The gap on the hood on the bottom right corner where the two panals meet...it seems to be a tad bid wide.
2. When I used to open the hood it would go "Pop!" and open up. Now it just goes up. I fear the latch was damaged and they never replaced it. It opens and closes and opens just fine, but I want to make sure this shouldn't cause any concern.

The guy who's in charge of my car won't be back till monday, so the guy letting me around to it didn't know jack about it.

Then they went ahead and ordered/installed the new airbox that they weren't supposed to order/install. :shake: I told them that the car was going to sit there for two days until the box I ordered got there, that I'm sorry it's going to be late but that they'd be installing it when it did get there.

He didn't care much, just nodded his head:rolleyes:

O, and the headlights can apperantly be aimed "correctly" I thought this could ONLY be done with Xenon lights. Hey, I learn something new everyday. When I put them in, they weren't installed quite right and I wasn't getting the distance I should have been. To add to that, you know when you turn the lights off and you can see the blue-ish reflection on the panals of the headlamp assembly itself? Well that's actually there! Again, something I thought that was only with Xenon's.

Well, other-wise I'm impressed and they did all of this quickly and have never been rude...none of them have any personality including the secretary...they all kind of act and/or really bored. But otherwise I'm happy!

It'll be cleaned off and all of the compound from the hood and quarter panal re-paint will be sanded off by the time Monday afternoon comes around.
