Julie: I have seen the rear end of your bus. I don't think the engine would
have been hurt. I have seen much worse rear end crashes in VWs that did not
hurt the engine. I would be very surprised if the wreck did any damage to the
engine.

Well the engine runs but going back tomorrow for tweaking. My mechanic insists
that it survived the crash and still has many miles in her. I am still
skeptical. I want to see what happens when she is actually moving something.
Bonus! There are puppies at my mechanic's place! Puppies!

Actually I did strip. (The paint inside of Sonne)

I was just wondering if she striped before or after she put Sonne in the garage.

And people say nothing good happens after midnight.
How's the engine?
