It's too bad about the car.
it really is .... it was very special to her .... Maureen is 80 and it was her "I don't feel like grandma today car today" .... all that being said, we realize we are very fortunate to have come out of it with just some soreness and a few minor bruises .... we are also extremely grateful that we dropped off our 6 year old grandson at school a few minutes prior to the accident

we don't know ..... right now you pretty much have to pay sticker price and interest rates have really taken a jump .... the great thing about the Camaro was it had a really good ride and cruising at 70+mph on interstate highways it got 31+mpg .... I have a good friend who owns multiple car dealerships .... when I was selling RV's I sent him a bunch of customers who purchased 1 ton tow trucks from him .... when we need a vehicle I contact him and he assigns a person to work with us on finding something .... once that decision is made he takes over with pricing and such ..... we already plan to head west with our camper at the end of May and to get back home at the end of August ..... add to our consideration that I believe that sooner rather than later Mark will bring his BEX to production, I don't foresee buying anything until sometime after we get back ....

Sounds very reasonable to me. Not as though you are desperate for a replacement yet. As they say, good things come to those who wait.
Sounds like everything will work out when you want it to. Who knows...maybe an BEX! :D

I believe a BEX is well within the possibility and if it proves to be as comfortable as I hope, we may drive it up for a weekend and run it over the Tail of the Dragon ... :D

I'd have to drop Maureen off at the top, drive down it, then back up and pick her up :lol:

I hear they sometimes film people along there. Maybe, you could at least show her the video. :lol:

I wanted to run it in her Camaro .... letting her see a video of the Dragon backfired on me .... since then her immediate reaction has been "H__l No :!: "
