Wow, I bet you are glad that you were not in a Hugo. Glad to hear that you were not injured. Perhaps you should just save the front DMC logo and build a new car around it.

No word from Metlife yet... but I think they'll scrap her. I will be keeping the salvage regardless. >From there my two choices are A) look into repairing her or B) buy another DeLorean, and restore it from 1697's parts, and then part-out the rest of 1697. Perhaps there's a way that I can sell 1697's vin plates or frame or engine or whathaveyou..... basically sell her in enough of one piece to keep the vin alive... but unfortunatly that may not come to fruitation. She may be fully dead. Be you own judge, fellas; http://www.rock-n-horse.com/1697/ The windshield was, in fact, cracked on the passenger side. sigh..... James 1697
