Oh well. :-P Of course, you are welcome at Daktoberfest no matter
what you're driving. (Heck, if we will let the Adam Blaster in with an
Exploder, a neon is a shoe-in!) ;-) (Hmmm, I just realized that the
little "Explorer -> Exploder" play on words takes on a WHOLE new meaning
when the Adam Blaster is behind the wheel...) =)

That sounds promising, anyway. Hopefully you won't wake up with too
many new aches and pains.

Hmmm, sounds like an X files episode... ;-) Well, if its any
consolation, your truck doesn't look too bad. Certainly, its going
to take a pretty penny to get it back to normal (good thing for
insurance - hopefully), but from what I've seen so far it looks like
its all cosmetic, with the possible exception of the radiator fluid -
depending on what happened there you might need a new radiator. It
could have been much worse! (Heh - I suppose it can *always* "have
been much worse") ;-)
Best of luck on the recovery for both you and your dak!!!
