>didn't even know they were going to do that, we figured we would have to go

>originaly taken to, didn't give the yard for the insurance company the key,
>so when they needed to get into the car, they cut right  through the brand
>new top we just put on the car in April.  Very pissed about that, but what
>can I do ya know.  So anyway, we now have both cabby's at home, and the
>process of moving parts over shall commence tomorrow.
