> Wanted: info on totaling a car

   I just drive mine off a cliff.  Find a nice cliff with an aproach of 
at least 50 feet.  Make sure that your car will go straight with no one
at the wheel (at lot of negative camber on the front suspension will help
this) and that the aproach isn't too uneven or bumpy.  Press a stick against 
the accelerator (not a brick, the insurance agent will wonder why you were
carrying a brick up front with you), and let the car roll forward under it's
own power.  A long aproach will let it build up enough speed to clear any
trees, too long and it may go of course.  Have an alibi ready.
