Totaled!

[obishawn]

After a hopeful message from the estimator this morning ("I think it's around $900 in parts"), it looks like the H-Wing is totaled. Repair costs look to be $4K, and the blankety-blank AAA tow yard says they incurred $1K in towing and storage.

Poor H-wing! I hope you're able to figure something outld hate to see it auctioned off for parts. I lost my beloved Camry last year. It sucks to hear those words, that your car is totaled.

That Solstice is a nice car...

I'll get something worked out.

One good thing, I guess.. It's got me writing in LJ again... :)

Why a solstice? To make it look more like an A-wing since it has a wider wheel base?

[obishawn]

Nope. It just looks fun, but I think it would make a lousy carfighter. Too James Bond.

At least it would give you an excuse to install ejection seats.

I hope you manage to get the H-wing fixed, if there is any car that should be maintained until the metal rusts, it's a Model T. The H-wing is a close second though.

With the H-Wing having somewhat of a celebrity status, have you thought of contacting one of those shows that make tricked-out cars and see if they will help with the rebirth?

It wouldn't be too hard to gather together some photos, video references (like the news footage at the Ep3 premiere) and put together a proposal to send to various shows to see if they'll bite.

"Overhauling" (USA network) and "Pimp-my-ride" (MTV) are two shows that come to mind... but there are others as well. "Monster Garage" (Discovery Channel) might even tackle the problem, although their focust is on the mechanics competing for tools, not on the vehicle owners.

...just a thought.

Sorry.

Sorry to hear that.

I suppose you can't remove the props and stuff unless you it back?

I like the Solstice, but I think I agree with you about the look. I really like the suggestion of seeing if one of the TLC/Discovery Channel shows might help you rebuild it.
