I say give the POS away, sell it really cheap, or crush it. I don't know how wealthy you are, but I have a feeling this isn't much of a hit financially. This whole deal is very personal and I have to wonder if you'll ever get the bad taste out of your mouth with this car. It reminds me of a client that got a divorce or their spouse died and they want to move away from that house. Sometimes you just need to move on.

You don't seem to have enough life left to take on this burden. I have to ask why keep going down this path? Look after your health and move on to things that matter.

That's my perspective, love it or hate it...

I have a plan to de-secret sauce it..... I'll take the motor and trans out - the wheels and brakes off - the rear end minus all the brackets.... Order a Howe Chassis and body....

Take the body and chassis to Los Angeles and put it in the La Brea Tar pits --- and make a viral video....

The city assured me they would rename the pits "Secret Sauce".

Don’t forget the camera, if it’s not oil soaked it’s a great set up. Lol

I vote for Highland Green for the makeover...

And a crazy team name logo based upon all the "Buddies" that got you through this.

Team JackStand

A Phoenix rising from the ashes would be so cliche, lol

And by the way a blown Coyote would look good in there, and prolly not blow oil

Joe --- that van down by the river is way better than a night at the Holiday Inn -- because that was brilliant!!

Team JackStand it is!

And you're 100% right on the Highland Green is spot on!!

Now --- Highland Green cars RARELY came with stripes and I think the fat ass needs stripes -- so lets come up with that color!

Goldish??

Black??

Help me here!
