I just got T-Boned coming home tonight.

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

Yes I was VERY lucky.  The entire front of her car was sheared off as well
as pushed in.  I am not feeling near as bad today as I thought I would.  I
have been in accidents in the past and felt like death warmed over the next
day.

The ignition is for an 8V and I don't know if it has the knock sensing but I
will look into it.
