I mean, after you posted the news about them agreeing to the rates, I found myself thinking that SF might be an okay company. If they chunked this process, it would have stuck out in my mind that they are rats; prob the same for others on the board I would think.

      So... do you think they made a particular effort on this case because so many people are aware of it?

      Congrats btw.
      I might of mentioned it.. lol.. Hey, gotta do what ya gotta do.

      She cancelled the appraisal on the car once I gave her a link to the pics on my fquick page.

      In the end I think she realized that I wasn't being unreasonable and that thier guy was totally in the wrong. Just glad that work can start on her next week.

      About the only big change I will be making is to install a Fuel Safe tank with a bladder.

      Very true, If I was at fault I would have been screwed.. Penny will have a better policy before hitting the road again.

      Actually I drive in 5th mostly.. in 6th I'm hardly making any RPM. 600 would be my theoretical max range. Vegas and back on a tank of gas. lol

      I'm also thinking of upping to 4.10 gears.. could certainly use them with the gearing in this T56.

      Of course that would drop my range to 550 ;)

      I can understand the desire for a bigger fuel cell.
      My Fastback has a puny tank and sucks the gas.
      I have to admit though that I enjoy the attention that my car gets when I rumble in for a fill-up..
