I guess someone has to just step up and adopt this poor thing, and show it a better life. When can I pick it up?

Default for shame

you guys should be ashamed of yourselves....i am completely and utterly offended and upset with the entire community...that car is mine and yes it was recently in an accident. a bad one obviously. i'm not exactly at liberty to discuss just what happened as my lawyer has instructed me to stay relatively quite until after a settlement has been taken care of in court. the brake dust is mostly from me practically melting the brakes trying to avoid the accident. i haven't had a chance to clean it yet and it was mainly left there for pictures to be taken as evidence that i actually did use the brakes...anyway, i'm sorry that some of us have misfortunes and can't have them taken care of immediately. however, i am very surprised at just how fast you guys will jump to conclusions and persecute(sp?) those that you do not know or understand...and thank you to the few who actually gave the benefit of doubt. and the best part is that my car is safe and sound in the garage free of damage(knock on wood) and is in fact silver...this is not my car, but it is late and i am bored so i thought it would be fun to screw with you guys. sorry for the long post but maybe some of you will find it a little amusing

Looks like he wants black rims on the front with all the brake dust! BSM even falling off.

Just sad............

Wreck or not you don't let a car like that go to waste b/c one day it can be a collectors item in like 2050.

Notice how he parked too... backed up to a slope with the rear tires to the curb. He probably has 3" of sod in each exhaust tip.
