"Hi Mike I have a short story with some pics that I just want posted or something. I feel that junkyard jewels will be the only appropriate spot but I will leave that to you. In April I bought my second gran torino ever. It was a 1972 gran torino sport fastback. It was red with a black vinyl top. The car was all original and was in near mint condition with the exception of a few small scratches and so on. It had a 351c with a performance built c4 and a 9 inch posi rear with a rear sway bar of course. Just imagine being a high school kid in 2007 driving a car like this, but I could handle it and was always very careful with it, and yes i bought it myself even though it wasn't easy. Well one day I left the keys around and my brother took it out at 3am without my permission. Turns out he being a 21 year old who only cares about himself very simply wrecked it. He doesn't know how fast he was going but he slammed it into 3 parked cars until eventually hitting a tree. I was very angry and still am but I dont know what to do. Insurance says take the 10,000 and give us the car, or keep it and we will give you 5,000. I guess I will take the 10,000 but I will not be the same without this car. Fixing it just isn't an option with 5000 dollars. Do you think it was under insured for an all original car, it even still had the dealer sticker on the trunk from doremus in red banks new jersey. Thanks in advance for posting my story as well as any advice.

Andrew"
