i am so sorry to hear about your loss Hoov! I know just how you feel. I lost it before in the snow and had the rear end swing out from under me after I over-corrected and I was going off the road at 40 MPH rear end first and I went between two trees. I got lucky but unfortunately you didn't have the same luck I had that day. :( Atleast you are ok though that is the most important thing! Just think though that this means you'll now be able to get a newer vehicle that you'll love just as much.

you aint kiddin PDad....

but as for a new car im honestly looking to find something that gets great gas mileage...but i also like the bigger car(as show today) and power....id be willing to sacrifice power for money though....gas is goin through the roof so why not have somethin that doesnt use as much...Bonnes are somewhat efficient, but id still like something more..

Hey man, as others have said, we're most happy that you're okay. That'* the most important thing.

You're posting about this now instead of us wondering, "Why hasn't Hoov checked in for a while?"

I am so sorry to hear about your car, but I am so glad that you are okay. Cars are replacable, people are not.

That really sucks. I know I would be an emotional wreck if (God forbid) I were to lose mine. Like it has been said,the important thing is you're ok,just a little sore.

There is a real nice SSEi in for sale. So,cash that check and get Boostin'!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear you are ok as for the gas your best bet would be to get a hose the longer the better stick one end into the tank and siphone the gas by sucking the air in but be careful not to get the gasoline in your mouth. The pressure will keep the gasoline flowing into what ever you put the hose in (other tank,bucket etc...etc) after you get the gas flowing.
