Paper plate, missing a wheel, front bumper, grill, and dented hood. The motor has been pulled.

That was a hot, fast romance that ended in tragedy.

I always ponder a moment when I see a car for sale with either a VERY recent license plate number, or a temp tag like this one.

Buyer’s remorse?

Car flipper?

Something horribly wrong with it and they’re desperate to offload it??

The story is “Subaru.”

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > Tekamul 01/09/2020 at 12:37

Vanagon owner that wanted to do an engine swap?

P ossible, but I’d be shocked. The interior wasn't horrendously trashed, which is the usual MO. It's actually very nice inside.

Now he’s trying to get back to Burlington

To a square in the middle of town.

to t hat spot right in front of the café

Where the coolant all hit the ground.

/sorry, was just listening to Blues Traveler

It would make it more than bearable, so I approve of this plan. These XTs are pretty fast.

Ha. I knew it from the first line.

U nfortunately, different Burlington. He's talking about Ontario.

I always assumed since Burlington is basically a border town with lots of tourism , it was VT. Bluestraveler.net confirms this suspicion, but who knows...

I’m surprised you know the song, I don’t know if they released it as a single so it’s pretty obscure.

I was not very interesting in the 90s, and I worked next to a record store. And anything that could even tangentially mention VT to a teenage VTer is a big deal.

I, too, was uninteresting in the 90s.

I bet Barenaked Ladies were huge, too* . A piece of trivia from Hello, City is that it refers to Halifax, NS. I just learned that a couple years ago.

*not to overly stereotype, but my handful of New Englander friends down south absolutely loved BNL, the Bosstones, and Rush. Without fail.

Almost Shakespearian .  

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Tekamul 01/09/2020 at 13:51

Maybe he has another on and this was just a parts car?

Where is this? Doubt it’s close enough to make it worth it with gas money for trailering but if I find an XT for that price close enough i’d totally be down for a parts car. Or maybe just swap my stuff into a different shell... mine’s fairly rough but the drivetrain is great

Hmm, that’s only 2.5 hours from me. If there weren’t bodywork issues I’d actually be interested. As is with a missing bumper and bent hood I’d have neither a complete matching shell or a working spare driveline
