    is this a car anymore?

    not sure if the image worked but anyway I'm trying to sell a car not as a car because I dont have the title on hand so far I've cut the doors, roof, left side rear half basically and smashed most of whats left the hood is off and there arent any drive train components so it's almost as far as I can take it, my yard says if they can't tell it was a car it's not a car so what do you think? I'm on a time crunch or I would make it flatter

    Hey BigDog, nice job on posting the pictures.

    I think you succeeded in making the car, not a car. Good job!
    If it wasn't for the $ in $crap, it would just be.....

    I'm drooling over the backhoe, wondering how long it would take me to drive that thing from PA to OH lol. dont worry bigdog, my dad has keys I wont need yours

    As to the thread topic, I've never heard that before about it not looking like a car any more. my yard told me it has to be cut up but the pieces still look like parts of a car!

    Good luck, hope they take it!

    yeah he said they buy car parts but it cant look like a car without a title. the backhoe works for some stuff but is a little small for smashing cars. doesn't go fast either
