When i was still single white trash we had a mid 80s cougar gocart. It had a 
wheel rusted on on the right rear. we took all the lug nuts off and went and 
did numerous donuts with it. that wheel never came off...... we ended up 
rolling the tire off it. since we still wanted to drive it we just pryed 
another bald tire on and kept goin!
If anyone wants to see some funny sad picks of a gremlin being hauled off 
let me know.
I also have pics of the new rust heap. Turns out it only has 34K miles on 
it!!! Its a real shame its so rusted out..... I got most of it scrapped 
today. Im not keeping any of the suspension as its about half rust scale. The 
brake lines were rusted thru and half the brake hardware in the rear was just 
missing! I rigged it up and it stopps ok now. will get its self to the 
salvage yard for its final journey monday i hope. If anyone wants any of the 
pics of the new or the old parts cars let me know.

<< Hi All,

I picked up a badly rusted Grem about 9 years ago that I parted out -
got some good int trim and 3 good rally wheels(3rd was rusted on), when the
bone yard driver got there to get it - he hooked up and went down the
driveway and into the street - with most of the car! It broke at the rear
sub frame and the back end dug into the pavement. We ended up putting a
chain around it to hold it together for the 3 mile ride. BTW the one wheel I
couldn't get off (put a junk wheel and tire on the other side) made it to
the boneyard without the lugnuts!
