I really appreciate all these condolences from folks I've never met.
You all have a wonderful family and community here on this Network.

I purchased Michaels first SVX for him for about 5G about 5 years ago & we (I) spent another 5G fixing it up mechanically. Then of course it got totally destroyed, glass and body in that hailstorm. At that point I gave the
destroyed car to Michael without asking for his share of planned payments
(was going to collect half the original price then give it to him) Then I told him he's on his own for his next car and he went on the internet & purchased an identical SVX to his original, for $1500 dollars! It was in even better shape than the first one except had a whining trany. He flew one way to DeMoines Iowa to buy it & drove it to NM and for another 2 months before the trany died then swapped tranies with the destroyed one. He paid for every expense for the second SVX ever since & became a top notch mechanic
doing all his own repairs after learning true empowerment from dismantling his first one. Dismantling a SVX is an extraordinary experience and he learned so much it overnight turned him from a complete novice into a mechanic.
