Threw a rod, hole in the side of the block. Coasted down a hill, parked there.. Some tatted-up guy named "Kelly" came and gave me a nice crisp $100 bill, I gave him the title and never saw it again. (A week later. Many train trips.. I no longer am willing to do things like this, now I will use a car to get to a car, thanks. The last time of which doing so was in 2018.) This was during the deep dark time when I was broke and unhappy, too. Told me he primarily needed it "just for the wiring harness" on some custom Honda he was making. I'm just happy HE got it.. and not the city.

I would have gotten more for it, if it was a manual, but the guy backed out on me hard when he found out it was an automatic.

Thank you for these fond memories, Marco Neustadt.
