All,

I have been reading the posts about David's "discovery" here. Does this 
story reek like dead fish to you? Let's look at this realistically:

He doesn't list his last name. Why? Because I think his story is crap and I 
don't think it happened at all. If you or I found a "junked" roadster with 
everything on it but a head, we wouldn't call it junked. We'd call it a car 
without a head.

He says he found it "next" to a junkyard. What the hell does this mean? In 
front? In back? Was it actually IN the junkyard? If I found a car by the 
side of the road, it's someone else's car and I wouldn't think of touching 
it unless it had been towed away and auctioned off. Now I have gone to junk 
yards and found great parts. You haggle with the junk man and get the best 
price you can. If you take a part off of a car on the street, you are 
stealing, head or no head.

Lastly, I get the feeling this story is a crock. I don't believe a word of 
it. No one finds all of the parts he's talking about on a junker. There are 
some real junkers sitting outside of CDM that I have checked out. Obviously 
hulks, but I wouldn't think of touching them for any reason without asking 
Les. He doesn't lock them up, and anyone with a tow bar could take them, but 
no one does because roadster people have integrity.

So I am not angry at David, I pity him. Which is far worse.
