So I bought an E30.

Ok, so with the help of Jason, Julie, Chris, and Eric, we got the car here to Harrisonburg.

This is the car we came to rescue:

Getting it out from between the two trees was really difficult, because the driveshaft was unbolted in the rear, and hanging from the center carrier bearing. It immediately dug into the gravel, pine needles, and dogshit that was underneath it. Long story short, a rope, bungee cord, and some cursing got the car out from between the trees and onto the car dolley.

But that won't do, will it? We still have to take it to harrisonburg.


So me and Jason are up underneath the car, trying to get the front end of the driveshaft at least slipped onto the yoke, so that we can take it to Chris's for more proper surgery. Once it was on the yoke, we found it in first gear, but with the shifter disconnected. After some more verbal lubricant, we got the shifter onto the shifter rod, put it into neutral and drove, carefully, to chris's house, finishing the job of destroying the carrier bearing in the process.

For those of you harassing me about the trunk:
This is the trunk before we picked up the car:

All sorts of shit you wouldn't believe. White stuff, and earphones and water and the BMW tape deck cleaner tapes...everything. And every ounce of it ruined. SO:

We cleaned it out, and left it all in a big pile where the car used to be. I doubt he'll notice, to be honest. The place was, how do I put this lightly? A complete and utter shithole dump. Yeah, that's about as nice as I can put it.

Also, here's a picture of Boobies going to town on the Convertable with a Milwaukee Sawzall:


Tada!
