Mitch,
I'm so glad to hear that your son and his girlfriend are okay. That's way
more important than the car. Particularly amazing and miraculous if no roll
bar was fitted.
Your son should be able to make a few bucks parting the car out, at least.
It's too bad he didn't have full insurance coverage. Take care. Your
family has much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving.
Best wishes,
Jeff in San Diego
