It is a mess, a bear got locked in it which kinda made a mess of the interior & another bear climbed on the hood and sun roof, dented them quite well. We could not get the hood open & I broke off the grill pull bit. (tips on how to open the hood short of a can opener?) Is an automatic has bundt wheels, tires do not even look too bad. Forgot to check the tail lights was busy watching out for bears,sorry :-{ swmbo thinks they are ok though. No back bumper, windshield cracked glass ok. So it wont be a car again, dunno if I should get it and part it out?? Prolly cost about $100/$200 to get it home on a truck. There are clouds of mozzies where the car is & that makes it just about impossible for me to work on where it is.

His driveway has ponds in it that are as much as 2' deep and is very rough, I would not take our Mercedes in, but he says he will tow the TD out with his tractor. The experience was very interesting, he has a pet three legged bear which has two cubs. We kinda happily did not get introduced to them.
