I sold my car yesterday. It was junkers. I was putting too much money into it for it to always be brokedown.
It was sold as is. The guy who bought it knew upfront what we knew was wrong with the car. He knew he wouldn't be able to drive it off our property. etcetc
With that said; he brought a tow truck to take it wherever he's taking it. I signed the title. It was notarized. He paid me.
Then he tried to lift it on the truck... haha.
The wench broke. The car rolled down our backyard and wedged itself inbetween a couple trees.
I had to go to work so I didn't know the end result. All I knew was my old car was trying to camoflauge itself in the trees. My next door neighbor came over and basically asked my mom and Marty wtf happened. They told him. He decided to call the cops because apparently the car had hit his little wooden garden area and knocked a log loose or something. (property damage)
The cops came, accessed the situation and said because I had signed the title over and it was notarized BEFORE it did it's glory run down our backyard, I was not liable. According to them, the car was abandoned at that point. They also spoke with the guy on the phone and I only assume he told them he'd return today and dig it out.
Which he of course did. I found it helpful for me to LOL @ him and take pictures... and video.
Notice the line? At this point I wasn't sure if he was trying to pull it backward or make it go forward. (He tried both)
I feel bad for the guy... but I can't stop loling. Oh HEY! He looks a bit like a young Pete Rose here.
haha I hung out the window for this shot... luckily he was down in the brush so hopefully I wasn't THAT obvious.
You really can't see it in this pic... but the front body of the car is fucked.
And there goes my baby. *sniffle* So many memories in that car.

Seeing your car of 7 years wrecked into a group of trees and knowing you're not the one who did it even though everytime you drove anywhere and had people in your car at least one would scream "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!" at some point in the night...: PRICELESS
