I think is a good looking car. The car in the foreground is the Olds F-88. In the background are the GM Futureliners. Too bad Mazda is tied in with Ford. GM could rebadge a Miata and make an updated version of that. Probably make a pretty nice car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elpad 4,156 Posted October 1, 2018 That was a pretty hard hit considering it was not a direct hit. Wonder if GEICO would declare a total loss and how would they determine the value. They would probably let you keep the salvage. In any event, Matt, wishing you the best. Glad you were not hurt 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
