Glad to hear Grandma is fine. To bad for the car. I know I'd be pissed if I was here about the ticket, especially since it'* her 1st one.

Hooray!

Glad to hear she is OK.

Olds Ninety-Eight rocks! I drove an '83 Regency, what a car! Looked at getting one as well back when I bought the '95 Bonneville

Im glad to hear that both she and the car will now be OK!

Last year my grandpa drove a 97 Grand Marquis UP a 3 foot rock wall. No one knows quite how he managed to do it.

Sad thing is that loaded Grand Marquis had 13,000 miles on it. It was gonna be my car too

Now it sits rotting in the junkyard.

Me and a friend were talking about this the other day at work - she said - "It is like all the old people are rich and have all this money..."

I wonder what shape my generation will be when we are all old and gray.
