newish 2-door Jeep Wrangler (or whatever they're calling them now) parked roadside with a shredded drivers front tire actually its been there for a couple of days now. Kind of wondering if its a stolen and dumped rental...

today : 20xx Ranger rattlecanned green (?) 5/8 of the way up the mountain, hood up, steam issuing forth, driver squatted in front of it with a gallon bottle of water at the ready also : local government held their first vehicle auction in 8 years a little over a month ago http://dpp.vi.gov/sites/default/files/announcements/6%2010%202017%20Auction%20Booklet%20FINAL%20ONLINE.pdf p much all of the cars sold off were inoperable in their own special way these cars are just beginning to get back on the roads, so I expect to be seeing plenty of broken-down white Chevy *******s over the next few months buttcrackmenace fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jul 28, 2017 |

those high opening bids were put in place on the  recommendation of the Office of the Governorthe owner of the largest Ford dealership in the territory was one of the larger contributors to the current governor's campaign  there was some public pushback to the high starting bids in the first auction, so they were relaxed somewhat for the subsequent auto auction, held last weekend http://dpp.vi.gov/sites/default/files/announcements/7%2022%202017%20Auction%20Booklet%20FINAL.pdf still laughable. also #2 : the reason that was the first gov't auto auction in 8+ years was due to the actions of the former governor, who once in office ordered that all "economically non-viable" government vehicles (i.e. anything out of warranty needing more than $2500 worth of "maintenance" be collected, crushed and disposed of and not auctioned off, as had been the custom in years past. he then promptly authorized the replacement of those vehicles with primarily GM-sourced products this juuuuust may have had something to with the fact that the largest GM dealer in the territory was a strong contributor to that particular governor's campaign  buttcrackmenace fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Jul 28, 2017 |

Those starting bids are insane.
