I would have taken the BMW to the crusher, Pulp Fiction style.

I really don't think I could forgive a wife that was so hateful she would beat on my car with a hammer...even if my car was some POS.

As the current owner of two Merkurs and several previous ones, the wife probably knew what she was doing by taking a hammer to it.

Tough love.....

Sounds like he'll need the money for a divorce attorney.

If my wife did this to my car....I wouldn't wait around for a divorce attorney, I'd disappear AFTER removing her from all the bank accounts.

On the bright side, I guess it's better that she took the hammer to the car instead of to his skull.

I ain't touchin' that one. If I bought the car, chances are the wife's boyfriend would show up in my driveway...

Couple of winners, there. I think both of them need to be a few hundred miles from each other. And hopefully uninvolved in any sort of relationship until they've spent a lot of time thinking.

None of the many I've dated(err, I mean converted to damaged goods) were outwardly destructful. I'd venture a guess that this is the work of a brunette, because a blonde would have grabbed the plastic kids hammer instead.

Around here, the blondes are the only ones dumb enough to mess with a guy's ride. Gingers get back in much more sinister ways.

What's up with hammers in the news recently.

Source: The Newport Plain Talk

http://newportplaintalk.com/story/38584

NEWPORT-April Dawn Peters, 31, of 2194 Grandview Way, in Cosby, as arrested Sept. 19, at 10:30 p.m., and charged with aggravated assault after she allegedly, while having sex with a man, hit him on his head at least five times, Sgt. Steve Johnson reported.

William L. Wofford, 51, said he and Peters were in the living room of his residence where he was having sex with Peters. He stated that during sex, Peters picked up a hammer and struck him on the head, the report stated. Neighbors allegedly saw Peters run from Wofford's residence in a "French maid" outfit that had been purchased at Walmart. They also said they saw her fall, scraping her knees.

For more details, please see the latest edition of the Newport Plain Talk.

I guess he will learn not to put the feather duster so close to the hammer next time.

For what he got for that M Roadster, he should be able to have that Merkur finished and in perfect shape in no time...
