I think he said we'd never get to see a picture of it. Somehow I bet (by Michigan standards) it was/is still a nice looking car....

I put it in park at 30 and the trans didn't explode!

My dad is driving it to the junk yard this Saturday. After his friend gets the battery.

So how can I Clarkson this car the best? Maybe I could shoot it with my friends 12 guage? I think tomarrow I will remove some un needed weight.

You want pictures? I can arrange that.

Another idea would be to not destroy the car, and give it someone who would give it some TLC and drive it into the ground.

To expand on this one sensible idea and impart some Republican values: to not destroy the car, deed it to a family member who itemizes, donate to the National Kidney Foundation for a deduction 4-6X greater than the crusher will provide and help several people while still being able to ***** about welfare while doing one's part through privatized charity.

I would have to agree, and if he destroys anything, it should be his 300SDL

That car is royalty compared to the POS Jetta. The Nazi's that created VW drove MB's.


My dad is going to drive it to the junk yard on Saturday, while I'm at class. His friend wants a bunch of parts off it so they will remove them and send it over.

I don't know anyone who needs a tax writeoff badly enough to want to store the damn thing. My uncles driveway already looks like a parking lot between my cousins and their friends cars. What can you BS the value up to $1,500 maybe?
