Detachable... Reminds me of a song that used to crack us up in the 90's...

Oh no!
Glad Seth and puppy are okay.

Bad news! Especially after two epic cross country drives. Glad everyone walked away.
Who had the blasted body and other disassembled parts posted recently on the left coast? Body swap is a pretty quick option...had mine up and running in a couple of weekends. Some of us could gather at J Mack's shop for a swap party if he's game. If I remember correctly, the body was blasted and left outside so would need to be cleaned up again. Have the interior painted so that only needed to be put together once and the exterior primered and refinish the outside later.

1) he’s ok so that’s a win
2) he doesn’t get jacked on ins. It was hard to get any because he’s 19. The declared values places wouldn’t work with him. Nada ranges from $12,900-$65,000 so, um, yeah, it’s in there somewhere...
3) buy it back and get it home for ???? Another cross county on a trailer
fingers crossed, prayers said, virgin sacrifices complete, just a waiting game now.
