it is a 300 pile of steel, with a popular engine and tranny, it is yellow and primered and has been sitting, he towed it off today but it is at his house, pretty sure he still wants to get rid of it

yes they did and instead of getting a tow truck he rigged his beetle tow bar to it and apparently it is side ways in his front yard with a mangled tow bar and the two vehicles still attached

I just picked up some parts for a couple of Audis I am working on.  I was aggravating Eric about it while I was there... seems that the story got better.  Evidently when he got the hitch undone, the wheels of the car (which has no brakes) were turned downhill.  A direction the car took to very well.  Right untill it hit a tree.   :D :D

I told him that from now on, any time he tries to get creative about anything, he is to call me first so I can bring a video camera....  ;D

Rick, why is it that anytime anybody talks about doing something stupid, you start talking about a video camera?  You've been watching AFV too much or something!   ::)

Ah, if only he and SC were neighbors.  It would have the makings of a sitcom.
