There ought to be a law against this. What a shame that a pig like this is able to buy a rare, clean survivor, and successfully destroy it in short order.

The car's condition is a perfect example of everything about him. He's a slob, and I bet his house and his yard are also going to hell in a hand basket.

Other than the armrest(seriously, wtf? my work truck's is cleaner than that). She looks fine to me (assuming the oil gets changed now & then).

That fender jobber would be what, $1k at a bodyshop? $1k that would go to 500 other things...

All on a budget for the 60K +/- he's put on it. A good 'n cheap ride - dollar for dollar.
Samsung or iPhone? It kinda looks like an iPhone to me. Either way, not cheap.

I see my old 1993 300 2.8 around town. The new owner lives about 10 minutes walk away from my own house. After 3.5 years under his tutelage, it's faring about the same as Tyler's car. Was equally clean upon departure, now has bashed in panels all the way around. I am surprised it still runs.

Funny how bashed panels don't crimp the drive line.
