Ouch, John. I know where you are coming from as I went through a
similar experience in my Spit a few years back. The car was totalled by
the insurance company but was rebuildable, so I was able to give it new
life. It is not the same car, however, but it is still fun and I'm glad
Sarah talked me into keeping it. I hope you can get it resolved quickly
so you can put it behind you...
Good luck,
Mike
