This would get the appropriate attention in the west coast sub forum. Good Luck.

Mossy Toyota collision. Unbelievable. I had 0 problems with my 8 before them. Geico is towing it to Mazda for me on flatbed. The temp got hot then it started idling at 2000 rpms then stalled out. I pray the engine wasn't permanently messed up.
