Thank u guys so much for the kind words and thoughts. I feel so ungrateful though, all i can think about is my poor car. All the hard work, all the time i spent...gone in an instant. See, that coulda been my life: gone in an instant. But here I am wondering why me, why my car, why did this have to happen? Am i just being completely one sided and ungrateful? Because i feel lucky, but mostly i dont, ya know? I want to be happy that im still here but pissed that my car is not. And there is no simply cleaning the GP up and salvaging the interior. it's ruined, there is NO getting that stink out and i dont think i could scrape dried, encrusted intestines out of the interior without losing every ounce of sanity i have left. Its not even about the nastiness anymore, it's more the fact that that crap is all over the interior of MY car, JUST when i started getting it fixed up the way I had always wanted. Its not sickening anymore, its maddening. But yea, i just gota hope they give me enough for the car, or whats left of it, so i can get a GTP. The GP that i totalled wan an SE, couldnt afford the GTP when i got the car brand new back in Dec '01, so maybe its a blessing in disguise.....either way, thanks again for the support guys! The GP community and this forum is the reason i refuse to buy anything else besides a GP
