It was white, and had several severe scrapes, some of which we later learned were covered in White-Out (it ran after a thiunderstorm). It smelled of marijuana, body odor, and prosciuto ham. I often likened it to the fragarant aroma of a Turkish Bathhouse. It came back repeatedly on the "donut", was OXed countlessly but for some reason never shopped. And then, one day, the graceful hand of god swooped down and made one of our renters drive it drunk on a freeway and smash the bejeezus out if it. The renter was prefectly okay, not even a hospital stay, but the car was totalled. LC had some pictures, it was about half of its normal height, and was gone from the B-pillar rearward.
Now this is a funny post! Well-written and a good story.
