Yeah. She was a champ for a very long time, but she ended up with exhaust issues because:

a. I tried to drown her...which caused...

b. pretty much the entire exhaust system falling out the bottom all at once and...

c. Wisconsin winters, salty roads, etc.

I fixed her up and sold her to a kid who worked for me. He drove her for 5 years, fixed her up again, then sold her for $1K to the next sucker, LOL!

On the plus side, once the concrete dries, it’s not likely anyone will steal the tires or jack the car.

The drying concrete should cure his wayward bent.

He can’t blame anyone else, it’s his own asphalt


Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame.

let the concrete harden then send the idiot the total bill for removing the car, tearing out concrete and replacing...


In a sane world, that’s what SHOULD happen.

They’ll probably award this guy, for damages (HE CAUSED). 🤬

Doesn’t matter when they remove the car, that is a tear-out and replacement of the whole pour.

My son drowned a Dodge Ram. He lost his job at a construction company due to their bankruptcy. On his last day, he decided to explore a dirt road near the shop. 3/4 of a mile later he drove over a patch of ice that turned out to be a 4’ deep sinkhole. Lost his job and truck in 10 minutes.

To save the off-Road recovery cost, he walked back to the shop and um...well...liberated ok stole a 4 wheel drive forklift and =dragged his truck back to the road for a normal tow.

The driver launched his General Lee off an embankment – flying over another car – while fleeing from police in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The driver was wanted for a felony warrant and fled from Wisconsin State Police during a traffic stop.
