Nor can you hear the KABANG KABANG KABANG coming out of the motor when you attempt to start it. We'll see what the body shop says, hopefully tomorrow. I actually hope they total it. A repaired car with that much structural damage is never the same, ever. Plus, it'd be a lot easier for us to cover the deductible on the van if we got cash outta the Nissan. edit: fixed typo -- Steve Edited by Steve Lowe Aug. 30, 2004, 01:12:37 AM EDT Expand All History
