I wonder whose car they got? They were supposed to use
my Square, but then they realized the story called for
a Fastback (the guy didn't realize what the difference
between the two was until I sent pics of my car), and
my only fastback is still up in NH. Plus, they weren't
sure my car was in "bad enough" shape. :)
I sent the guy pictures of two cars off the Samba that
were in the NY area and in pretty rough shape. I think
this is possibly a car from NJ that I sent over. The
guy had been trying to part it out for like a year on
the Samba. He was at the point where he just wanted
someone to take it from him for free.
It was supposed to be one of the offshoot Law and
Order shows. Was it?
