I was waiting my turn to get on a busy interstate in the right turn lane when a semi tractor in the oncoming turn lane made the turn too fast and slid across the intersection, brakes locked.  He just missed hitting me head on, jumping a 2 foot curb and going between me and my guard rail with inches on either side.  He jumped back into my turn lane in the wrong direction before he got stopped.

Thanks, folks. I tried starting it today. I had to jumper the plug to the inertia fuel pump cutoff switch. It had a portion of the housing caved in. It then started just fine.

They are going to cut a check for 3600.00 to repair the vehicle. Hopefully that should do it.

Maybe you can fix most of it yourself and pocket the rest!  Wink
