funny thing about the parts car , remember there is no drive line in it.  I got there, backed up to it dropped and the ramps. backed up to the front tiers. hooked the winch to it. and started reeling the cable in . this is the funny part. (  the guy yelled stop, hold on. and reached in and put the shifter in (N) . I turned my head with the biggest grin. and just shook my head. )  that for sure need to go to Jeff Foxworthy, Redneck Joke of the Day.

Come on!!!

Was he serious?

He did not!!

no , I just wanted to go home. the dude was way out in left field. If he did his home work on the parts on the car, he would of got his money back out of it and some. t- roof , front end, spoilers, tail lights. dash parts. I'm in the green on selling the  parts I don't need. and y88rick wasn't got his bill yet. hehehe
