Not exactly a picture of me, per se, but it does involve me. I call it "How not to try and turn your Jeep into a sub-compact".

Not the favorite phone call to get from my wife... "Hi honey, I'm in the emergency room at the hospital in Cartersville and was in a car crash. Gotta go. Love you, bye." *click*

Ah well. Jeeps can be replaced, my wife can't.

Well, this is the third time around for both of us, and I do believe I got it right this time (she's a geek, just like me, except I'm a diehard Browncoat and she's a Whovian. ;) ), so I think I would prefer keep her around. :D

Well, its official. The insurance company has totaled our Jeep. :( Now we have to start looking for a new vehicle for my wife, and I am sure, argue with the insurers about giving us fair market value for the Jeep. Damn, and we had just got it paid off not too long ago.

"Fair Market Value" = $10,000 less than a comparable car is priced!
My father just had something similar with his truck- though it was long ago paid off.
Blue Book was $2000, insurance company gave him $1000 (vehicle had been wrecked) and a new truck was $17,000.
