thanks fellow xFire lovers. I knew I could count on you to reinforce my feelings.
The jeep may not be dead - apparently it was the front differential that caught fire - not sure why. I am waiting for a quote to see how much the repair will be.
Ottawa John, I will PM you. And unfortunately, that is not my home in the photo - 'tis a very nice B&B I used to stay at with my ex while visiting local wineries.
I am driving "Lucy" since this week we are having some unexpected warm weather but it is December 1st and she should be put away for a long winter's nap.
