Is This An Engine or What?!?

Howdy! For those wondering what kind of horses power the old buggy, here are a few clicks of the camera to show ya! Enjoy!

Presenting Nana'a New Wheels!!

Greetings! Hope this finds you all well. The progress on the insurance is slow (DUH!), but we slog on. The paperwork on the new vehicle came through and Mom drove it home today. Must not have overwhelmed her too much. Already has a list of 'stuff' to do. 'There's a 'cricket-squeak' in the dash when I go over a bump', When do I get the NOX system? :-), 'The front seat cup holder is broken!'..................................! Anyway, it is done and I have taken some pictures to show it off! Enjoy. Now, that's a TRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just when you get the car where you like it!!!!!!!!!

Greetings, again. Just heading home after a hard day's work (okay, so it is a stretch to call it work.......yeah, yeah, it's not hard either!). Well, I stopped in the right turn lane getting ready to turn. A semi with a trailer was in the lane next to me. I did notice as I pulled up to the corner he did NOT have a turn signal on. Well, as I was getting ready to turn, I noticed the driver had put on his turn signal and was beginning to turn. As he continued his turn, I knew he was going to hit me with his trailer and before I could react, the middle of the trailer struck the pillar between the windshield and driver's door, sending windshield glass all over. The majority of the windshield stayed together (the function of the laminate in the glass) and I was sprayed with just a few shards. Before the truck stopped, the side of the trailer had creased the pillar and continued to come over and get the rest of the front door and crease the back door. The roof was warped but the door actually opened and closed. Fortunately I had the window down. That would have been interesting!!!! As I remember, I knew he wasn't going to stop before he struck the car, so I leaned over into the passenger's seat hoping the rear tires wouldn't climb the car and make a pancake out of me and the car!!!! The driver must have glanced in his passenger side mirror because he then quickly stopped. I backed up and discovered I could get out. The police arrived shortly and a report was filled out. Now I have to report to the state and I have called the insurance company. I am going to get in touch with the company's insurance Wednesday. It looks like it will be totaled. Just have to wait and see! Here are a few pics. Take care.
