Dear Mike,
I understand how pissed you may be (my wife backed our VW into the fender
of my recently- last year- restored '70 BGT destroying it) but be careful,
as no one is perfect. When my missus whacked the MGBGT, I just knew, that
if I yelled at my otherwise extremely intelligent wife, I'd certainly
set myself up to do something equally or more brainless within a week.
$1500 bux is expensive but not as expensive as a divorce.
