In 2000, I ran across a 1997 toyota Avalon with all the bells and whistles and bought it for my wife at a fairly good deal. She is a teacher so the first morning she drove it to school she was going down the secondary road we live on and stopped behind a school bus waiting for a kid that was late running out of the house. Well the driver decided she would save the kid some steps and starts backing up the bus. My wife was fiddeling with something in the car and not looking at the bus. The bus's rear bumper landed just at the windshield of the car. Took the whole hood, top of the motor, and just made an ugly mess of it. After the investigation I had the car towed to a nearby town to a repair shop to set until I could find out what the outcome would be from the insurance company. That same afternoon it came a halestorm of the century. Absolutely beat that car all to He_?_. The bus wreck did not total the car. It came within a few dollars but no such luck. The insurence for the hale was a seperate issue and figured seperate. With both events together the insurance payment was up to around 14,000.00 and it was not totaled. I ran across a guy that would fix the car and just let me pay him He fixed it for 7000.00 and I paid it off with the other 7000. I am still driving the Avalon. One of the best vehicles I have ever had. I think it is up to around 185,000 miles or close to that. The buswreck and halestorm turned out good for me.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
