    It is not on fire, so it must be a Tesla!

    There are two kinds of boaters: those who have run aground, and those who lie about it.

    Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

    That's not going to buff out.

    Will the Scotchguard ease the cleaning up when they recover it?

    It appears the car must have entered the shaft 'backwards'....maybe no driver?

    lets say you have a spare (salvaged) ferrari 3.4 liter twin turbo v8 of approximately 650 hp laying around
    what would you do with it?

    #PBCFR Battalion10 and #SpecialOperations units responded to a local high end car dealership. A car elevator malfunction caused a car to hang in the elevator shaft. Crews had to first mitigate a fuel leak. This involved setting up portable standpipes and cutting the power to the business. Once the leak was mitigated, Special Operations worked with Kauff’s Towing and their new rotator wrecker to remove the car from the elevator. Kauff’s 45 foot boom and multiple 50,000 pound winches were the right tool for the job. There were no injuries. Crews were on scene for approximately 4 hours.

    Find an old, clapped out Vega / Pacer / Nova and make one heck of a 'sleeper' out of it ? ? ? ?

    I'd sell the engine on Bringatrailer and buy an old Porsche. Or maybe a beetle cat.

    My fair city is home to the “Ferrambo”, a Ferrari shoved into and under a Rambler American.

    One of these as a body donor and a few conversations with knowledgeable contacts could create something that causes consterrnation on the autobahns. A load cover to conceal the engine would be a help. https://www.newsnow.co.uk/classified...volkswagen-411
