Wudda if I cudda -- it got totalled when the CHP set up a road block around a curve with no warning flares. Scratch my baby and I ended up in hospital for 18 months. But I'd probably still have her but for that. She was bright orange, with the stripes and YENKO on the rear fenders. She really was an awesome car.

Even worse, this was in the days of contributory negligence so if you were found even .0001% negligent, you collected nada and there was no question I was speeding. Ultimate settlement was they pay for my medical bills related to accident for the rest of my life. So far, that's been over $3M.
