Ahh, you just need to find some sleepy sucker on the highway like I did... If
you try this, I'd reccomend filling the back with pillows or something
though...
I was going to do the charity thing also, oh well, I got $2700 or so from the
insurance company instead... I'll tell you though, I was real upset that
Hurricane Fran didn't drop a tree on my van back then, I was also upset several
months later when the 18 wheeler only managed to majorly dent the rear door
(there's a pattern emerging, I've had three accidents since moving down to NC,
in all 3 cases, my vehicle was something I needed to be moving on from, the
other was the Honda Accord I bought between the van and the Integra which I
shouldn't have bought because of the damage [I didn't notice that the sides of
the car were bondo...], an elderly couple did me the courtesy by running a red
light [after I had had the car for 6 weeks and 6 days..], the insurance
company gave me what I paid for the car).
