As a side note my best friend back in my youth (late 70's) in Duluth, Mn. was named Sven

My fatbike is insured for about $250 above what my car seems to be worth. Depressing, isn't it?
I am from Minnesota, but somewhat unfortunately my real name's not actually Sven... but Duluth is fun!
I'm debating whether I should sell my car whole, or part it out and make the engine block into a flower planter.

That poor Prius looks like it's face caught on fire as it was falling out of the Ugly Tree, and someone put the fire out with an icepick haha

Pry it open and dump a ton of caustic fire foam in their, then let it sit outdoors for a while, and you'll get rust. Still impressive it takes Mexican backroom plastic surgery before it will possibly rust. |

You could probably just drive it and keep applying the emergency brake until the self adjusters do their job and fix it, might need to do it in reverse. Did that to my neighbors car, but they had not used the emergency brake in over a decade and the booster diaphragm crapped out, another $1000 repair.
