Bruce, Terribly sorry to hear about this. :( I am looking forward to seeing the answers to your questions, however. If something like this happened to my DeLorean, I would not let anyone other than one of our vendors fix it. I am sure insurance companies do not like this and would attempt to force you to take it to a local body shop. What laws or other policies do we have on our side when things like this happen? Can we force these insurance companies to pay to have our vendor of choice repair the car, including transport costs? Seems to me that only a small handful of people in the world are actually qualified to do this, and taking it down to Joe's Random Body Shop should not even be entertained as an option. -Ryan --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "brucedduncan" <bduncan@xxxx> wrote: > 1265 was hit as she sat in front of my house. the lady accorss the > street's minivan rolled down her driveway and right into the d's > driver's rear quarter panel.
