Re: IML: IML. Spotted one (1991?))

[<pnkmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I drove by the "abandonned" '91 again this morning on my way to work.  The
body and interior are fine.  The plate has been removed, which certainly
isn't a good sign, and I can tell that the shop has shoved it to the end of
their lot, which is City property.  They must be hoping it will be towed
off.

I was wild-as_ed busy today, so I didn't have a chance to follow up on the
car.  I'll force myself to stop and deal with the mechanics tomorrow and ask
around about the '91.  It'll be interesting to find out what befell it.
