Thanks all!
As I told my mom, about every half-hour I break into a big grin and
start giggling.
And yes, I do have to make a trip to AZ. Partly because my 'ol man
wrecked their car and mom doesn't want him driving anymore. Estimate
was over $5K. She wants me to bring the the car up here. Downside?
It's a Kia!

so it being a KIA, $5K should total it! <G>, so tow it to the next
largest city and junk it!

How can you do $5,000 damage to a Kia? Isn't it totalled when it gets
to about half that? <G>

I would have thought so too, but the car is brand new, and the air
bags didn't deploy. I haven't seen the damaged car, but the estimate
didn't show a radiator or AC condenser, just front body parts. It's
being fixed right now.
