    My wife and I think there's a lot of guys driving some mighty fine cars while their old POSs are the real cars down there. ;)

    When a battery powered car can sink a ship, they will never be in my garage

    Huh at how improbable/impossible it would be to commit insurance fraud at the level you're describing.

    I've lived a long time and have seen some S*#t that people have been caught doing. Bernie Madoff just for starters.

    It wouldn't surprise me a bit since the ship just happened to sink in THAT spot. :)

    I wonder what percentage of the MSRP the Manufacturers will receive?

    I'd bet the insurance Companies are searching for pictures and papers.

    Remember my Insurance Co didn't give a s#*t about my Doctor Scamimg me for 100,000 in 9 MONTHS. Yes, he was paid 100,000 claiming his office was checking for illicit drugs every month by using Labs all across America. I live 1 mile from the office. When I asked them to explain the scam, everybody in the office was looking like a deer in headlights and looking around corners to look at who had found out their BS. I was just one of hundreds of patients.

    The Insurance Company spokes people laughed at me. They told me I didn't have to pay a dime of it so why the anger. Were the Insurance Co. people in on it too? Probably.

    The deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean is the Puerto Rico Trench...~27,500' deep if memory serves.
    The deepest spot on the planet is Challenger Deep at ~35,500' deep.

    The location that the Felicity Ace sunk at is a rather mundane ~10,500' about 250 miles west of the Azores.

    I think I was fooled once. :D:s

    Beautiful strait blond hair down to her hips. Lean and tall. :# Supposedly my friends' Quazi sister.
    I still think she was 99.99 woman. I saw her one night only. She said she was a marines' wife.

    I don't think some questionable one-night stand will ever happen again per my age-related issues.
