Negative, Ghost-Rider. The pattern is full.
I will fight tooth and nail over this. I just looked at some GWs online and either the prices have gone up since 2016 when I bought Sasquatch, or people have lost their minds. Of course, what people want for a rig and what insurance is willing to pay... ugh. I intend to fight as hard as I can if they tell me they are scraping my Jeep. If I do lose, my agent said I could take the hit, literally, and pay my 500 deductible and they will add that claim to next year's bill. Another option from my agent, take the money, buy back the rig as salvage and use the money to fix it up and then re-register the Jeep as a salvage title, because my insurance is one of a few in the area that does insure salvage titles on older vehicles.
Now, I realize this was in need of a paint job, decals and redone seats. But the motor runs great and it has done everything I have asked of it ... ski trips, camping, hunting, trails, road trips of 800+ miles round trip.... and it has never left me stranded. Oh, it has on occasion given me moments of "what in tarnation is that noise?", but nothing serious. And, even for all that... Sasquatch is MINE. I have always wanted a Wagoneer. Ever since I first rode in one back in 1977 on a fishing trip with my next door neighbor and his dad.
Yeah... what's worse is... I know the parents of the kid. I kind of know the son... I mean, I live in Idaho in a town of 2500. You're gonna know everyone... We had a come to Jesus meeting while waiting for his folks. Then THEY had the same meeting while I was talking to the deputy.
Gaaa... frustration.
1984 Grand Wagoneer. V8 360 stock. Mostly original. Repainted 2018 with original Nordic Green Metallic (Flake).
