Well now it looks like we will not be there at all ... electrical gremlins in the '73 and a girl decided that we needed to go thru the red-light in the '07. We just got it in April, has 8,000 miles on it...
 We stopped for the turn light at  a shopping center and she plowed into us... fortunately  there wasn't anyone in front so damage is to the rear... that was enough... she was in an Expedition.. knocked out the whole lower panel where back-up lights are, bent exhaust down to the ground,  Doesn't look real bad but that  whole back panel will need to be replaced. Has a couple large breaks in it now. At least no-one was hurt, except for being a little sore.. never saw her coming and being in a turn lane she wasn't  going that fast. she had the most damage. I think my tail pipe may have gone thru her radiator.. she had to be towed. I bent the exhaust back up.. picked up my license plate and went home "pi@#!ed" off. Life is good I guess... we could drive it.... now for the insurance/repairs. She has insurance. Luckily we were in the '07... the '73 would have taken that pretty bad i believe... thanks to modern technology..
 Probably the worse part was, my wife would not get out to look.. and on the way home.. she finally calmed down, realized we were "lucky" turned to me and told me "I'm taking your license to drive my '07". . "Life" is good with us...
