On my way back from the SCCA Solo National Championships, I managed to go off-roading in my Lightning. I live in Virginia and the accident occured in Oak Grove, Missouri. The truck is in very bad shape and my heart is broken because of this accident. I did not get injured because of the accident but it was an injury that caused the accident (long story).

The insurance adjuster has sent the truck to Blue Springs Ford to have it torn down to analyze the damage. Before it was torn down, there is $15,000 damage.

My question is whether anyone is familiar with this shop? Do they do good work? Any recommendations for a better shop in the area?

I hope that they can adjust enough so that they have to total the truck. I would much rather get a new truck than to have them "repair" the old one. Especially, since the truck is in Missouri and I am in Virginia.

Thanks!!

Jim Howard
