I've enjoyed the posts I've read so far.<BR/><BR/>An update on the Jeep: I had it brought to my house on a car hauler a friend of mine owns. I saw him drive up and was watching him undo all the fastenings on the Jeep then I was stunned to see him get in the Jeep, start it up and drive it off the trailer!<BR/><BR/>It sounds like all I need to do is find someone to scrounge around the wrecking yards for left and right front panels, a hood, grill and bumper. New head and fog lights, and the Jeep will be resurrected!<BR/><BR/>The frame is fine, engine is undamaged, even the radiator seems to be ok, just need a new serpentine belt.<BR/><BR/>I've got fingers crossed here and hopefully the Jeep will still be drivable for the girls. I'm still going for a new or newer Audi :-)<BR/>(thanks Joker, you made me blush)<BR/><BR/>MHLMotor-head Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535337620719929844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712826277980208360.post-86777696914869313592009-03-12T20:08:00.000-07:002009-03-12T20:08:00.000-07:00I'll echo my friend's comments that your daughter ...I'll echo my friend's comments that your daughter was not hurt and try to sell as much as you can separately for parts. You may make out pretty well that way. Also, you look really hot in that Audi if I may be so bold!

But keep the tires because scrap yards will charge you for the tire disposal.<BR/>Your best bet, pull the drive train and anything else salable and put it on craigs list. Then scrap the rest.WooleyBuggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731631725262074662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712826277980208360.post-60754760983573780022009-03-06T15:15:00.000-08:002009-03-06T15:15:00.000-08:00Awww Thank you all for the well wishes about my da...Awww Thank you all for the well wishes about my daughter. It's the most important part of this all.<BR/><BR/>I will try the Craigs List and see how it goes.<BR/><BR/>Fasthair...$30-$50 bucks really? Gag, that just sucks in the worst way! Whiskey please!<BR/><BR/>It's very unfortunate about your advice on "nix-ing" the Audi, you see the second my butt landed in the seat...I fell in love! My hands wrapped around the steering wheel and I was in heaven. I don't know, I think it could be a love affair for the books on the Audi. Has to be an affair, my heart truly belongs to the Cougar.<BR/><BR/>I've never tried on a Mercedes though... it's a thought :-)<BR/>MHLMotor-head Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535337620719929844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712826277980208360.post-43643162920167726572009-03-06T07:12:00.000-08:002009-03-06T07:12:00.000-08:00Try selling the whole thing on Craig's list.

They are pretty cool And repairs are a LOT cheaper on an American car than any import. I think Fasthair would back that.Webster Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400898270278007467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712826277980208360.post-17861846236067261492009-03-06T06:30:00.000-08:002009-03-06T06:30:00.000-08:00There ya go Fasthair...Spoken like a true car sale...There ya go Fasthair...<BR/>Spoken like a true car salesman - trying to make a buck off the less fortunate. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Personally, if I went to a car, I'd go for a Honda or Toyota.

As far as salvage goes they will probably give you 35 to 50 bucks for it. I would for sure sell the tires before I let it go to the crusher. Maybe try something like “Free Jeep with purchase of near new tires!” Just a thought. <BR/><BR/>As far the… cough cough… Audi goes you might want to do some research like at Consumer Reports or Edmunds.com or the like. Audi doesn’t have the worlds best reputation for reliability plus they cost as much as Mercedes I service to repair. Yes I may be a bit bias because of that but I speak the truth. Now that I bring it up. How about a Mercedes-Benz? You would look almost as hot in it as you do your Cougar :) The cost is comparable. <BR/><BR/>fasthairfasthairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578895011107651084noreply@blogger.com
