Ellison, along with 26-year-old Jerek Evans, had been cooking methamphetamine in this extremely mobile mobile lab using a method called "shake and bake" involving a few choice chemicals and an old liquor bottle. Pilot and copilot were shaking and baking, and driving, when something went awry and the brew exploded, sending shards of glassware flying. Apparently, one of the sharp pieces of glass hit the alchemist-driver in his neck, nicking a high pressure carotid artery. He bled to death, adding rust colored blood stains to the rest of that spewed mess visible in Insurance Auto Auctions' official photo gallery of the CTS.


BARF :eek:

That's a pretty good price. For $1000 you can pay someone to clean and detail the interior to like-new condition. Add another $500 for any trim pieces that need replacement.

Jesda keep in mind that the car has a bio hazard title. Its one of the worst states a title can be in besides; unrebuildable, scrap, nonrepairable, parts only ect. (some states call it different things than others)

Think about how hard it will be to sell the car plus the car also needs paint its got scratches all over and paint missing on the bumper which yall couldn't see from the pictures they had posted in the article...

But from a salvage stand point its a great buy. I would have bought it if it was closer to me. Its not a piece that I am interested in enough to pay $843 to get it to my place.

I am willing to bet that a salvage yard bought the car. Should easily be able to get 2k out of just the front clip alone plus another 2k for the engine.

No doubt it was a good buy for a salvage yard because all the body parts/drivetrain.

It would be way more profitable to piece it out than going through the headache of gettings it all fixed up.
