Some of you know I'm stuck out here in Baghdad, so I figured I'd share a little experience with you some of you may find interesting. It was for me, considering I haven't seen stuff like this in months.
I visited the "junk yard" on base, and you would think on a military base in Baghdad, you would find just a bunch of military surplus junk a yard monkey would love. Well, yer right... so seeing a shell of a car sitting on an Army trailer off in the distance caught my eye. Didn't think much of it, yet my car guy interest was steal peaked, I casually walked towards it while going through this and that on the way to eventually see what it was. I approached it as the picture shows below, and with being this close, it looked familiar with the roofline, but couldn't quite place what it was.

Then it hit me what it was, and went around back to confirm it, looking at the rear fenders.

Noway... in the middle of Iraq? Practically brand new? All the things that went through my mind that could be done with this. It's already heading for the crusher, how epic of a project this would be to snatch up for a stance, drift, or VIP project!
