Re: STOLEN Car update

[Night Shadow <soltwede@ucsub.colorado.edu>]

I agree with Mark, Rich.  See what your insurance says....I bet they will
want to total it....take what they give you (argue if it's too low) and
then buy the car back from them...take all your nice expensive bits off
and find a new rocco....they probably blew the motor or something for that
much oil to have sprayed out....

I feel for you, no one should have to go through what your going through
right now....but try and be positive...maybe that once in a lifetime 16v
creampuff with only 60k on it will show up in your area for cheap, and
you'll end up with a better car in the long run!
