Granny, glad to hear you're up and about. We just got back from Charlottesville and Sheila was wondering how you were doing. I'll let her know. You can't keep keep a good woman down

Now on to the tire dilemma. Any input from the gallery? Billy's checking them out for me but I'm wondering if I should replace all of them after being banged up like that.
Thanks again to the greatest group of folks in the whole wide world. Sorry I scared you so Lainey on your first Vintage outing. But all's well that end's well, right? Poor Lainey.

^ Yep, we suthin' gals are tough...Granny, if Billy is checking out the tires for you, that is good. No need to replace the front ones unless necessary. Tires are expensive!! Even if not on top of those other repair costs. I think we were estimating about $5K, so it seems to be on target to be about that. Good luck and keep us posted...and please take the rest of the week off!

I've never seen anything quite like that "up close and personal" I was so relieved you were OK. No one was driving crazy, that's why they are called "accidents."
For a minute I thought I was watching NASCAR on TV.

You did say I was up on two wheels there for a while, didn't you? Too funny.

Sis,
I didn't get to see your car after the accident. Was there any sheet metal damage or was it all underneath?

Order 4 new tires from Tire Rack if they are even 1/2 as bad as they look in the picture I posted:

Didn't check for inner wear, D, hummmm.

^ I agree about the tires, Eliot. I assume Billy is checking the tread out thoroughly, which is why I mentioned perhaps not needing new front ones.
