I didn't see this as a dupe. This is sad, especially the reason for it.

No, divorce makes "stupid" people do stupid things! He's screwed ... now he can enjoy paying that bank note for a while, yet and have nothing to show for it. There's no way the insurance company is going to pay anything on that. What a bone-head!

Hi Corpsvette -

Thanks for the link -

I think you could buff that out - a little polish here and there....

Seriously, that thing is totally junk. Even the dip-stick was messed up.

Sad.

Yea, I would rather drive it into a lake than try to sell it... what are people thinking?

best regards-
