    Snow: I was hoping to see one day. What a lost. Nothing salvageable? My 77 Saloon, maybe worth about $10,000. Asked insurance agent how they would pay if needed and get no answer. Same with my 97 Dodge that is worth more than book (?) and $200,000 coverage on household items they stick on...

    M-14

    svnmag: i shot a 175 MM cannon and have very limited experience shooting at someone with a rifle when they are shooting back at me.
