I am sure my wife will add eyes, nose, scarf, etc. Helpful hint: I pegged the rounds together with short lengths of a wood dowel.

Lisa and I drove to Cleveland, 225 miles each way, to pick up a "new" car. Anna, my 17 year old daughter, and I were in a pretty serious accident Tuesday morning. Traffic stopped on the interstate. I safely stopped, but was then rear ended by a car doing 50-60 MPH. Talk about a IMPACT! I've never experienced anything like that. Although neither of us were seriously injured, I was so dazed I was in a stupor hardly able to walk. We both suffered a little whip lash, but nothing serious it seems. The 17 year old girl that hit us is even more fortunate. She was also uninjured. Modern auto impact technology is pretty amazing when everyone can walk away from an accident like this. I'm very thankful that no one was seriously injured. Cars are replaceable!
Here's the car that hit us.
Here's my car. She got into my car far enough that it drove the right rear suspension forward at least an inch.
It sheared the steel bumper core in half.
This is where I was driven into the car in front of me by the impact. That car was then driven into the car in front of it.
Here's the 2012 replacement we picked up this morning. It's identical to the one that was totaled, except 4 years newer and 1/3 the miles. I searched the entire US to find the same color combination and options and only found two! The other one was in Maine. I was happy that this one was $4K less expensive too
I'm glad this ordeal is nearly over. I already settle on my old car and got what I thought I should. That was a relief as well.
I'm very thankful this Christmas season for God's protecting hand of mercy over the many miles we travel everyday. This could have turned out so much differently.

Trying them all
Glad you were ok. What a lot of carnage.
Just an FYI but the cover on the rear license plate of the smashed car can get you pulled over in some states.

The nick on the Hyundai will buff right out, it's a sturdy Korean car - but Your car is scrap metal!Lisa and I drove to Cleveland, 225 miles each way, to pick up a "new" car.

On a serious note, I am glad nobody got hurt!
Nice new car.
Glad you are OK Brad. ...congrats on new car!
God is good....all the time.
Back to saws....worked over a 372 cylinder yesterday
...is it just me or is there a lot to remove?
Also split another case to get it ready for decking.

Assembled this 345, updated from the older style plastic clamp. What a pain in the arse those clamps can be. Got another one from the same guy waiting for the carb mounting flange. Its a miracle that one didnt burn up, as it was leaking air at carb and through the crappy plastic clamp. 
372 case is decked....and I salvaged a 372 a crank. ...the tip of the crank had busted off such that the eclip would not stay on....so I welded it up
Wonder why they made so many of them with the plastic clamp, surely someone complained to them..

i think a lot of dealers probably saw the same thing in thousands of them. its night and day difference. i could literally reach in and move the clamp with the tip of my finger and effect the idle on both saws. one was already acting up the runs perfectly fine but its getting replaced anyway. Those metal clamps are not a joke to get on haha.

Im sure it was 1/2 a penny cheaper per unit for the plastic clamp so thats why they made it that way. Turns out they are a pretty good family of saws as far as small homeowner saws go.
Yeah but Husqvarna put the plastic clamps on some that weren't homeowner saws.
I think the MS290 Stihl uses clamps that are metal and aren't quite as wide as the ones pictured, might be a bit easier to install.

yikes, thought it was just the 340/345/350...i wonder why saws have gone away from solid intake blocks instead of boots and clamps?
The plastic clamp thing is an embarrassment to husky. This needed to be a recall. Plain and simple. But it makes a good excuse reseal the bearing cap.
I believe all my Husky saws have the plastic clamps, 353, 346XP, 359, not sure about my 362XP but I wouldn't doubt it.. I have a 55 also but not sure about it except it has a scuffed piston so it probably has...
