Can't buy it right now, gotta sell the Caddy first. Will definately call the guy once my car is sold though.

Known problem, huh? If it hasn't, based on what you're saying, if I don't want to plan on doing it I should pass? I don't know anything about those cars, so any info you've got would help. That would be the 3.8 correct?

I'm sorry, man. Hope everything turns out all right. Thoughts & Prayers with you and yours.

No big deal, if you look at that other thread, you'll see that there are quite a few people that have had cars numbering in the double digits. You can imagine how long that would take to load. Fortunately I'm at work so my internet speed is pretty good, but at home on dial up (when I get my computer working), that would suck. That really does suck about the Porsche though. Just think where that car would be today had you not needed to show off for your high school buddies. Just adding a little salt... graemlins/nutkick.gif j/k

Haha... Don't go back until... Wait a minute, I'm not going back to school! . . . . . . . . . . . I just have to show up for work for the rest of my life. graemlins/doh.gif

Father in law gave me one of these when my son was born. graemlins/thumb.gif Don't remember which one though.

I think this was done without pics a couple of weeks ago. What in the hell did you do to that 928?!?! Not trying to be a dick, but a thread like this with pics could very quickly become virtually impossible to open. Especially if half of these people have pics of each and every car they've owned.

Well, congrats... I guess. Don't accept their first offer. Did you get your stuff off of it?

I knew that you could get the supercharged engine in the XR-7, but a 5 speed? Considering as a replacement for the Caddy.

Cool pics! graemlins/thumb.gif Looks like you guys had fun.

High Risk: Returned pm. I am really looking for an f-body or maybe a fox body. Probably not interested in anything else.

Wow. Good article.

Do you have the paint code? I think you can have any amount down to a pint mixed at Moore's PBE on W. Broad. If nothing else, they can point you to someone that can mix it for you.

Nothing to show, but it sounds like it'll be an awesome show. I might have to take a ride up there.

Sounds like this would be perfect. http://www.columbusracing.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=29;t=000560 554-3998 till around 6:00 475-5740 after 7:00 lv msg if no answer then try 1st number.

Attn: Bottlefed70 - I responded to your pm. Are you still interested?

I saw that. The Greek fans are earning themselves a reputation for being unsportsmanlike and obnoxious. Of all the highlights of this year's olympics, I think that most people are going to remember the booing at the men's highbar and the men's 200m the most. That's really kind of sad. It rocks that our boys made the first 200m sweep since '84 though. graemlins/thumb.gif Even better after the 10 minute delay!

I talked to him a little last Saturday at Jeg's. It is supercharged, and has an upgraded crank pulley, but thats all. Plus, it's got gobs and gobs of miles on it if I remember correctly. Besides, it's a daily and his work car. If he's happy with his time and his car, that's all that matters right?

That was loooooooooooong! Pretty cool stuff though. graemlins/thumb.gif

Thank you. I thought it had something to do with the alignment of the intake ports in the head as compared to the manifold. The Vortec head being different from other GM designs. Guess not, huh?

Wasn't the 350 in the 96 GM trucks a Vortec motor? I think it was. If so, I think that requires the use of a Vortec intake manifold. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

DAMN!! graemlins/eek2.gif Didn't look that bad in your pics. If it's that bad, it should be totaled. Hope it all works out for ya. Make sure that you find out from the adjustor what you have to do to keep the parts you want. Probably just have you "mock up" the stock parts.

"Buy back" is the term used when someone retains salvage on the vehicle. The insurance company doesn't have any use for your damaged car, so when doing the total loss evaluation, they may contact several salvage companies for salvage bids. If you elect to retain the vehicle, you essentially are paying the insurance company the salvage value of the vehicle. Or buying the salvage rights. The check that is issued to you when you retain the vehicle is the total loss amount less the salvage value. For example: If the total loss amount of the vehicle is $10,000 and the insurance company has a quote from a salvage company for $2000 for your car, then the check you get from the insurance company is $8,000. You just "bought" your vehicle back from the insurance company for $2000. As far as vehicle ownership goes, if you read the fine print in your policy, when a vehicle is deemed a total loss, if they issue a payment for fair market value of your vehicle, they assume ownership. If you don't retain the vehicle, you sign over the title via power of attorney. If you retain the vehicle, and intend to repair it, you have to file for a "branded" or salvage title. [ 26.

Nah, that car's going to fix. They'll strap it down to the rack, and pull everything back into it's proper position, replace the necessary panels, and repair the others. It'll take a while, but from what I can see, that is a repairable vehicle.

No problem. Raise hell with Nationwide about a/m parts. Since you are not the insured on the claim, you can demand OE parts, and I believe that the insurance company has to give them to you. You will probably have to argue a little bit though. Has Rife's put together a preiminary estimate yet?
