That's the way to do it!

So far insurance has given me a nice new CD player, speakers, amplified
base speaker, H4 headlights, a nice Bus Boys side step, oil pressure and
voltage gauges, and a down payment on my new engine.

My old "bra" covers the damage on the front, and with a new bumper and a
sledge hammer I was able to fix the pushed in rear as well when the
engine was out.

That's enough, I'd prefer not to get any more, and just keep running!
