This incident is legendary. The owner of the car -- a VW Beatle -- first applied to his insurance company to recover for damages to the car, and was told his policy did not cover meteor strikes. But as word got out, that matter became moot. Think what the car and meteorite might have brought if eBay had been in full swing 10-15 years ago! -|Tom|-<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
Yeah no kidding. The internet has turned all sorts of obscure things into things which hundreds, if not thousands of people end up competing over.
I think it would be great if we had a copy of that phone call with the insurance company. I wonder how many times he had to tell them, and how many people he had to be transfered through before someone finally told him that their policy doesn't cover meteor strikes! I wonder if they even believed him....
