I copied this from a post Kathy Jacobs put on the Southeastern Forum:

Recieved this email today. Don't ask me about it, just email the person in the message.


HELP! We have 100+ bugs, buses, T3 in our yard and we lost the lease. Help save these from the crusher!!! Most are complete bodies, '68 and newer (sorry, no "vintage") some with motors/trannys...we're asking $100 each and if you buy four we'll give you one free! The cars are located in east Alabama (about an hour from Atlanta). Email to FetnerGreg@JohnDeere.com or Call 865-458-8472 if you need more info and don't have email...

Oh, come on Linda!  Let him bring 'em home!  There small.  There cute.  They don't take up much room.

Besides, if Travis had a hundred old VWs in his yard, when Joy gets on my case I could say "Well at least I don't have as many as Travis!"

OK, you convinced me...we are ditching Hangin Dawg and towing 100 VW's home!  How?  I'm sure Travis would drag them kicking a screaming if he could.  

Seriously, has anyone talked to them?  How long will they be available?  Is anyone going to check it out?  

We do have a large yard but I doubt the neighbors would like them - even though they are small and cute and don't eat much!

If Homer could tow a bug out of 2 mile long dirt driveway ("pig trail" might be a better description) fording a stream along the way, down Lookout Mountian to Menlo, GA and then about 25 miles to LaFayette on a winding country road . . . and turn around and do it again with no trouble whatsoever, I don't see why a type 4 powered bus couldn't pull another bus!

But, like I told Joy when she ask if Homer was going to make it to Tampa last fall . . . "There's only one way to find out!"
