Gayle, the damage was so extensive, that it's not worth fixing. He has a friend who needs to drive a trailer from here to San Diego to pick up a car, so he's going to get him to take his car to California for him and he's going to "part-it-out". In other words, he's going to sell parts from it to maximize his return. It's worth more in parts now than as a whole car.

Before the blow out, he was already planning to part-it-out when they returned to Cali. He has also picked up an abandoned truck for free that he is filing for a title for that he can trade with a buddy for a blazer that is worth considerably more that he was going to sell. With the income from the two vehicles, his plan was to buy a used Corvette, but....now that they are expecting, he says no more "toys". He's going to bank the money from his car adventures. He figures he may be able to get his Vet when he's in his 40's. Boys will indeed be boys!!!
