It's a cheap GM econobox. Sorry for not bawling tears over it.

I guess I'll have to take a couple of personal days when I see a crashed Daewoo.

I more think it's your inability for anyone else to shed a tear about a GM econobox that makes you so insufferable.

Not only that, but there's 54 bids on that.
Is the E320 Cdi such a desirable car?

I would think at some level ebay would need to verify whether you can actually pay such a large amount of cash but I guess not.

Also, that bidding really escalated quickly from 15,000 to 25k then 50, 75 and utltimately 155. Awesome.

Came out of the house to go to work yesterday and found this waiting for me.

Someone had violated Snowball, my '91 Range Rover Classic. She's a Great Divide Edition - #101 of 400.

I had video of my front yard from that time but it only shows my truck jumping forward. Not enough to see the attacker.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgdTqfrcu7k

loving, poo poo poo poo poo poo....No note on the truck either. Looking closer we found an interesting piece of debris. I'm pretty sure this didn't come off my truck.

While I talked to the police, my 16 year old son hopped on his bike and started following the trail of parts. I got a call 5 minutes later "I found the truck! I found the one that hit your Rover!". I told him to book it home and we drove over together, camera in hand. We found this when we arrived.

I think we found the guilty party. That missing badge looks like it might fit the part I have back home. I called 911 and parked down the block to watch. A cruiser showed up a few minutes later and I told my story. He explained there's not much he can do legally but I might be able to pursue him in civil court if needed. He said he wanted to look at their truck and would meet me back at my place.

15 minutes later he shows up with a smile on his face. He pulls a piece of paper out of his booklet and hands it to me. It has the guy's full insurance info. When the cop was there the guy walked out and confessed immediately. He said he knew hit 'hit something small last night' and planned on coming over in the morning to see what happened. You believe that poo poo, don't you? Neither did I or the cop. The cop said he could haul him off for hit-and-run if I decided to press charges. I didn't at this point. As long as his insurance company pays up I'll be satisfied. Mostly. I can take solace in the fact that he's an independent contractor and his work truck is now hosed up.

Looks like I have a summer project on my hands now. Time for upgrades. New tire carrier bumper I always wanted and, after replacing the panels, the new paint just she desperately needs. It's hard for a shop to paint match 23+ years of oxidation from Texas sun. I'll also have my shop go over the drivetrain with a fine-toothed comb. All that shock was taken up by the transfer case and tranny. I don't wanna be driving down the highway at 80MPH and have a something go boom.

His insurance company has already mentioned the word "totaled". When I meet with them later today I'll have a pile of receipts for the new motor I had built and dropped in last year. She may not look like much but she's got it where it counts, kid.

I know a few pages back, but this really made me incredibly sad, I hope she gets fixed up :ohdear:

On the plus side, your Range Rover really did a number on his truck. Vengeance is hers.

Probably would have modded the car as distastefully if I got my hands on one at age 16. Wanted to have one and be cool like Brian O' Connor in the Fast and the Furious.

It was in the news. Ebay auction gone viral due to "humorous" honesty and pictures.

So 155k is just a result of a lot of joke/false bids. It was at 20k this morning.

Well sure, but unless ebay UK is different, you can't just say "nah, I was kidding" and not pay. So unless people are willing to pay for a joke, people wanna drop 155k for a 3.2L benz? Especially one that is poo poo, as per the advert. None of that makes any drat sense.

Anyway, please enjoy this Impala, complete with silly hood scoops and racing stripes. Because your taxi should be quick.
