I hope to be able to drive it to the scrapper as a final point of pride. Still not sure how I'll remove the essentially new $800 Ferrita exhaust and I would like to keep the wheels. And maybe I'll take the shift knob as a memento.

Anyone in the NH area have a tow truck or a trailer with a winch and want this formerly lovely manual transmission wagon?

I’m game. I’m happy to return the wheels and exhaust if you want to donate it to the FDPP

I need that shift knob , though.

Pm/ email me please.

Remove the exhaust and drive the noise maker to the scrap yard? :lol:
Then remove the wheels and set it on the ground. The scrap yard has brutal ways to move cars without wheels.

I'm surprised to say that this matter is finally concluded (even after abscate stripped the car bare and sent it to the crusher). I finally received payment for the judgment against the guy who hit me and totaled my V70 manual. The debts have been paid. This one's done.

Three and a half years later almost. Wow.

Her organ donor card was used on many other cars and her metal came back to life in new appliances.

This thread had it all; action, adventure, humor, and love.
Nice ending :)
Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.
