Got the report back from the shop, the Volvo is toast...I've heard people say a door is a jar, you're the first to say a Volvo is toast. Man, that's a big toaster!
I love you guys, you're all the best, thanks for the support and keeping me smiling through this!
Give her the Beemer, I have a 74 Pinto out back, put a heater in her and a tarp over the window areas for a few days and she'll nice and dry for you to use

Total loss and all out of pocket...
Ya, I'm debating many options right now Chet, I'm leaning towards just buying mama a new car and then having her car be the new ride for our daughter, mama is coming due for something new...
Get your daughter a nice safe pick-up J. I hear that this one is for sale, it may take a bit longer to dry out than Chet's Pinto though...
That list and total price looks like full dealer pricing for parts and labor. Have you considered getting a second opinion from a different shop? Honestly, that looks like a list one would submit for a insurance claim.
So how attached is she to that car anyway?
Kinda what I did when I got the Jetta.

Yep, the $6500 is for new parts Rob, they said if I wanted to go used parts it would probably be about half that, but even at $3k to fix it's just not worth it to me, I'm gonna move on... bettter to put a grand in my pocket and move on IMO then take $3k out of my pocket to fix it...
If you want to buy it as it is Rob give me a call, but do it soon because I'm gonna be making some calls today to try and unload it fast... The title is clean and clear because no insurance is involved. You up for a project? I know you have the space.
No thanks Jay, I've got enough projects sitting on shelves. Plus, Volvo isn't my cup of tea.
ZG, If you start selling off farkles to finance the cars can I have dibs on the Ohlins?
Bummer deal there Jay for certain. At $12K, you should have sprung for full coverage. Good thing I didn't buy it though, I picked up a new project today. Shop is getting full, had to kick out one of the trailers tonight.
So do tell Rob, what's the new project bro?
