Thumbs up My Turn

1980 240D 5 speed with 240k on the now partially dead engine. Taking it to the shop in the am. Chased the car saw it in a parking lot. Found the owners name by getting in the glove compartment (risky) Owner said she had donated it to the VFDP. i contacted them gave $300.00. They gave me a slip for my donation. I guess that equals free!

1977 240D 5 speed 246k Car was hit by a deer on passenger headlight fixed for $100.00, the body guy doing another $600.00 to eliminate all rust. Paid $159.00 for a set of headlights. Just turned it into a veggie-benz at a dyi cost of around $400.00. The car was given to me by a freind because he was PO'd at the insurance companies offer after the deer collision. Insurance offered him $900.00 he parked it at his house, his wife was tired of looking at it. Me and my kid drug it up on a trailer, drug it home, went to walmart bought a battery. Turned the key, it coughed a grey smoke cloud and engine fired right up. Total cost to drive another 240d free on veggie power $1259.00 give or take a $100.
