Andy, Sorry. We must have posted at about the same time this morning, and I missed yours. Yeah, that's solder wrapped around the spokes for...
I'm dealing with the other guy's insurance on this, since he was at fault. We haven't gotten to the value part of the process yet.
So, the insurance finally contacted me just to say that they would only pay for 5 days of storage, and that the car had to be removed from the...
