Since Paul reminded me I shall update this.
Gravenge was sold back in June. Kathy lost her job. She was doing cleaning in newly constructed homes and they were downsizing.
In the meantime, she was backing out of a friends drive and missed the edge and had one wheel in the ditch and got stuck. Instead of the tow truck driver using the boom to lift the car out and over, he just winched it using the sub frame as the pulling point.
After that it ate the front tire rapidly. Took it in to have the alignment shop check it out and they set it the best they could. The steering wheel was never straight after that and it pulled hard to the right.
About a month after that, she was at a friends apartment complex and it got backed into on the right side tail light. An uninsured guy with his tailgate down. The cops were called, but as usual, we had to bite the bullit.
I did what I could to get a light in and made a drain hole in the trunk since I knew it would let water in. Here is a picture of the repair.
I posted it on Craigslist and got called the same day. I had to leave for work and the people hurried over to look at it. At first I thought there was no way they would be interested. They showed up in a 7 series BMW.
After the test drive and talking with the couple, I got the whole story:
They were brother and sister and she was going through a bad divorce. Her husband took off and left her and her 2 boys with a mortgage, 2 car payments and everything and she was a stay at home mom with no income. She was living with her brother and his family and had a job lined up with no transportation. He was loaning her the money to buy it until she could get her life on track.
So, there's the rest of the story. We now move on to the 2001 we are working on. Kathy has since moved out and rents a house with a couple friends and is doing well. She is getting ready to start school soon at the local community college. As usual, she doesn't know what she wants to major in.
