Get your tickets to THE BIG THING 2026!
That is a shame. Looks like a good beater. I would have been willing to take it off your hands...My weekend project last winter...
2005 or something saab 9-2x linear. Running forester struts on king springs with the fattest general grabbers I could clear. 15" "rage" wheels or whatever was the cheapest looking black wheel I could track down. Welded up a tube bumper for it, got it to powder but never put the aluminum bash plates in before I sold it.

Car was awesome because it had so much body damage when I bought it (although it had a solid motor with like 80k on it) so I could thrash it around and chuck it into snow drifts. The gearing was absolutely terrible from the big tires. Got pulled over driving down to california at 95mph on the way to my wedding, pretty sure I was getting 16mpg most of the way down. Had to practically give it away when I sold it.
