Ya. And you can negotiate with insurance, but not by much. If they want 5K for you to keep the car, there's a reason. That means some junk yard is willing to pay nearly that much.

I think Alexis would be better to ask about this.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

Exactly. There isn't all that much force on your bumper given the ratio of your dually's momentum versus the weight of the bug.

I got somewhat lucky, they didnt hit the bumper, they hit the massive tow hooks attached to the frame.

Jon we need to discuss your generosity since I'm now the second best motorgen member with a GTO. Kidding aside, glad you're both alright Damian, I wouldn't have believed it if not from the horse's mouth. Not to say you're a horse...

agree with this, I've bought two cars back from insurance companies for dirt cheap and wrecked GTOs are notoriously ripe money makers for junkyards. Me and Redondo Jon probably have a list of doo dads and things we could purchase off you. Plus I'm second in line for the LS2!

He should pull it out and replace it with a blown out junkyard truck motor. Just bolt it in... oops.
