I can send originals to anyone who wants to give it a try. PM me your email. I tried microsoft photo manager, best I could tell was that maybe a 6 was 3rd character from the end. So pissed. Turns out the Galaxy has on screen icons for flash default to on and auto flash as needed. However, if flash is turned off, nothing shows up as an icon. Idiotic.
I only had the phone for 5 weeks so I was still learning it. I took a pic of a lottery ticket couple days ago for the office pool, pic was kinda funky but still legible without flash. I said screw it, good enough. I will play with the camera later... Damn't all I needed was one good flash. Now I have to shell out $750 for deductible.
Updated the police officer handling the case that its an 01 or 02 Saturn Coupe. However, the partial plate given by a good Samaritan didn't turn any hits. AZ has gone to flat plates without any raised letters, makes the plates much harder to read in the dark.
If car is totaled, what kind of time do I have to strip stuff off? Car has a whipple SC and headers installed. Lots of other stuff including suspension and a SVT rear axle with a couple thousand miles on it, but wont unbolt as easy and kinda more noticeable missing the rear axle. Should I just buy it and lift the entire drivetrain? Engine has 48k miles and transmission which is a TCI unit has only 26k miles.
I just don't see any S197 rollers out in the market that need a new drivetrain. Honestly, I am so pissed to the point of defeat. I guess I wasn't meant to have nice things, had the car for all of two months and finally got all the bugs fixed. I had it in the shop earlier that day for a new belt and a pulley replacement. Was going to take it for a retune soon and really enjoy the supercharger now the cool weather is here in Phoenix. Maybe hit a dragstrip for the first time, knock it off the bucket list.
I could do the math and make an engine swap work, but I am unsure I can put in the effort esp. as I live in an HOA and have nowhere to put the car. Hopefully I am thinking $8k in damage and even a stock 06 GT has to be worth at least $15k. But who knows, my $8k might be a $16k estimate to an insurance company. The only savings grace cost wise I have is that the bumper cover and hood were not hit and those stripes are painted on. However, if they are sloppy unloading and loading the car to my body shop, the front wheel which is flopping around could break the bumper cover.
Maybe I should sell my 2006 F-150 and buy a Raptor, at least next time I am hit by a Saturn, maybe I will be the one that can keep driving. Too bad my car was immobilized, I would have really enjoyed reenacting the supercharger chase scene from Mad Max.
