Alright folks. Time to take this out in the yard. Whist we can see the point in each other's side, we don't want a skirmish in our collective livingroom. Please feel free to continue this discussion via pmail, should you choose to continue.

Anyone who thinks this vehicle is not rusted is befuddled, given the location (LaFayette, LA) 20 miles from the Gulf of Mexico where beach driving and camping are ordinary activities.  It has been sitting in a field for "a few years."  It is likely to have rodents nests all through it, wiring gnawed up.  Tires don't stay ok on the ground for "a few years" in Louisiana.  There is a good chance that any vehicle parked like that in southern Louisiana has been flooded.
