A friend of mine bought himself a "Suzuki" a few months ago. I did everything to try to convince him to get a "Toyota". Either a 40 or a 55. Well he is now parting it out at the bottom of a canyon here in South Ariz. He bailed at the last moment and is ok, but the little toy he got is no longer amongst the living.........Larry
I was thinking the same thing.... At some point this fall I want to go down to Sheeps Bridge and sponsor a run clean up. There are a few ugly cars down on that very special spot on the river. It is always a suzuki or a pinto :
Not to worry boys. I myself towed it up out of the canyon with my trusty old 55. However if you really think that one vehicle would be bad I'll be happy to take anybody on a tour of my area and show you anywhere from one to about 12 cars, trucks, and vans that litter different parts of our area the illegal immigrants dump in "out" local desert. The local law ie, Border Patrol, Sheriffs Dept, DPS, and State just ignore them because they are not in that good of shape. Right now I have in my back driveway a 1991 Ford 350 van that I litearlly drove out of the desert and can't get any agency to haul it away. Yea Uncle Sam and the powers to be. Larry
