Oh, for sure. We have salvage yards where you can buy wrecks: Online Car Auctions - Copart Chicago North ILLINOIS - Repairable Salvage Cars for Sale But I was meaning, I dont think the insurance claimant can get the payout and the vehicle from the insurance company. You could probably ask them where they salvaged it at and buy it back from there though.

*sigh* I guess I have to give S1 another shot. I dont think I made it past the second episode.

At least with my insurance company, "totaled" cars are towed away never to be seen again and they hand you a check. If they were smart theyd have a division for parting them out. Theres no option to take the payout AND keep the vehicle.

Heh reminds me of the lawless days of the late 70's - early 80's. I used to sit in front of my boombox, the Record and Pause buttons already pushed, waiting for my favorite jams to come on the radio and slamming the Pause again to unpause and start recording, only the have the DJ talk over the last 30 seconds. Good times. I filled up multiple cases with my fire mix tapes: Maybe they should make on onlyfans, but for aspiring musicians. 🤔- What You've Done Today - Don't do today, what you can get someone else to do tomorrow

Things change with the times. Im sure the tablet carvers were sad when writing took over, then writers were sad when the printing press took over, then printers were sad when things went digital, and digital will be sad when the next technology takes over. And dont even get me started on the decimation of the horse and buggy industry. Everyone that gets phased out of anything will be sad.- Music: Sharing and Listening - The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between

Heh, I couldnt upload my CD's into Apple music fast enough...begone physical mediums! Why do you feel that the death of CD's has destroyed the industry?

Im not fully following the details of the latest bombardment. Afaik, Ukraine has a total of two Patriot batteries (one from US, one from Germany) and each battery holds a maximum of four interceptors at once. Even if Ukraine had both batteries parked on top of each other, how did they rip of 20+ interceptors? - Music: Sharing and Listening - The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between
