I want to say mine have Velcro on them? Will double check tonight, but it wouldn't surprise me if I was entirely wrong in saying that.

Mine sure don't. I am going to do the Hawk method on them with the addition of a sliding bar to push the seat forward. I put the seats up and down a lot and that would make it so much easier to do.

The bumper cover came completely off and has a couple of golf ball size holes in it plus multiple scratches. In addition the bumper bar and Styrofoam filler is all bent and will need to be replaced. I suspect the trunk floor is also buckled. A large piece of trim that goes underneath the left taillight is also MIA. All this on a car (although in pristine condition for a 140,000 mile car) is worth at most $3,000 and that's a sucker price.

Sigh. Official adjuster estimate is this afternoon, but I suspect we'll be car shopping this weekend. Good thing he learned to drive in Big Bertha (our Z71 Suburban) since he's driving that right now.

Should be loads of used ones with low miles in your area.

Yea, supply is definitely not an issue in Atlanta.

Bought new work boots today, I don't remember the last time my feet were this happy in steel toes.

There is nothing quite like a new pair of work boots!

I'm just happy I was able to find a decent pair that aren't waterproof. Nothing like a waterproof boot when you're up to your nuts in swamp water.

That seems like such reverse logic but I know exactly what you mean.

I mean, I know I'll curse myself for those days when I'm only in water up to my ankles, but on the whole, I'd rather have a boot that dries out faster and doesn't fill up with water that won't drain out until you take the boot off and empty it out on your own.

And then hardens and mildews when they eventually do dry out.
