GirlFriend hit big pot hole... car now shuts off in gear or in nuetral

Yup... so since the girlfriend(wifey) bought me the car... of course she has rights to drive it once in a while right... well today was the first day she wanted to give it a spin... she knows how to drive standard, but she doesnt look at the road hazards ahead... so yep we hit a nasty pot hole on the front passenger side, it was a hard hit... but nothing seemed damaged... well afterwards on 3 occasions in a span of 4hrs... the car shut off while in gear.... and while in nuetral, I'm not sure what it could be... tomorrow at work.. I'll be going thru the whole Chilton's book to see what it could be... I think it might be the crank sensor... has anyone else ever had this issue?

On a side note... already shaved the trunk... and add some clear corners I had laying around.

I'm also looking at aluminum radiators... anyone know of a good place to find one? the cheapest was $153.98, doesnt Griffin make one for ours? (I thought someone on the org had one on theres...)

Thanks again
Raul
