Good luck and wishing you and your mother the best, Steve.
Ugh! Sorry to hear that Nate. Did you go MacGuyver with a ziploc bag and a hammer?
I'll second this.
I just did it and it wasn't bad. I used Edmunds.com to get a quote from a dealer about 100 miles away. I took it to the local dealer and they matched it. Of course, it helped to have a nice salesperson.
Sounds like a Subaru Outback or Forester would do the trick for you.
If it's a fairly new house (30 years old or less) or has been updated with Romex, it's actually pretty good. It's nice, solid core, copper wire 14 or more likely 12 gauge wire. Of course, the wire in most power cords is just fine too.
Anurag, have you talked with your credit card company to dispute the charge? Credit card companies don't like not getting paid and typically support the buyer. They know on a dispute if they can't get the money from the buyer, then they definitely can get it back from the seller.
I'm feeling good. My surgeon removed all limitations last Friday. My shoulder is a bit stiff and sore, but it's improving rapidly. I'm scheduled to get some physical therapy. My pelvis breaks have all healed well too.
I feel good enough to do a street ride. I'm not quite up to a dirt ride yet.
I should see if Dianese or anybody else makes such a thing for motorcycling. I'd get one.
