I like cars and all, but that's a bit much.

Uh, 171,000 miles? That's it?

Yeah, I thought the same thing too.

My current 2000 DX sedan beater is at 178k, but it didn't have what I'm guessing is 178k of hard NYC miles.

My 95 EG got stolen with 320k on the chassis and ~180k on the engine.

They didn't set it on fire, I am disappointed.

So who is going to scoop the carcass up from the yard and build a Challenge car out of it?

It's 171,000 NYC miles:

TFA said: It’s been totaled by a drunk driver, flipped up-side down during New York’s Washington Heights riots of 1992, and rusted away to near oblivion.

My best guess to its demise is lack of maintenance + road salt-induced tin worm.

Hey, at least it went under its own power. How many of us could say that?

This is how every BABE rally should end from now on.

Oh most of the cars have done that before the start of the rally ;) We've always considered the event kind of a send off for most of the cars so ending with a full funeral would be great!
