So the SVT is still sans tranny. Been driving around in a Taurus that I rent Monday thru Friday.

Now's where this gets to be like a Country Western song gone bad. The gf had an interview this AM at a school in Chatham for a teaching position. She's on Main Avenue in Chatham, waiting to turn left into the CVS. Along comes a Suburban driven by old fart who plows into the back of her Jetta.

Don't know right now, but it very well may be totaled. The entire trunk is smashed in, and the gas tank was leaking. Neither rear door will open. Couldn't tell what damage was done to the frame. The airbags didn't go off.

So now not only am I in my third week of rental car hell, but now my girlfriend is looking at a month of the same possibly. At least I got a Taurus whereas she's stuck with a Focus wink frown .
