[Shotimes] RE: RIP 96 ES Maybe

[Donald Mallinson]

Now that I have had the time to see the car dry and in good 
light, I find that the ONLY panels not dented are the 
drivers side panels.  The hood/roof/trunk and entire right 
side are pretty bad.

Went by the Chevy dealer today, and it looks like about 
every car there has at least one big ding in the hood, 
didn't get out and walk around, but the roofs have to be as 
bad.

I guess not moving down the road makes a difference or I got 
caught in a lot worse hail...or Ford sheetmetal dents easier 
than Chevy/Olds/Saab metal?

Anyway, I would be very surprised if the don't total the 
car.  So I have to decide, buy it back and keep driving in 
embarassing condition till fall or get something else now.

If I buy another used SHO, I hope I can find one as nice as 
my 96, I knew its condition and just got it the way I wanted 
(hitch, exhaust, intake, UDP, FSTB).  All that except the 
mufflers must come off before I let the car go to the 
insurance company.

Depending on price, anyone interested in my car if I buy it 
back?
