Default See there's this Thing....

For a while now, I have spotted a yellow Thing parked outside a house on
my way home, maybe 5 miles from my house. It looks to be in somewhat sad
shape, missing one headlight and looks like the RR tire may be shredded
to pieces. It has not moved, and I don't think it has been touched all
summer. Not sure how long it's been there, maybe since I lived in this
house (2 years) but only this summer I happened to see it there for the
first time.
I'm tempted to find out if they would want to get rid of it. If I had a
couple hundred to lay on the table..... who knows.

Whatcha think? The top is down and/or missing, so the floorpans and what
interior may be there, may no longer "be there". Can't see if it has an
engine.

Worth anything? It might alleviate my pain of not having an aircooled VW
to tinker with. My neighbor says I can keep it in one of his garages
and work on it there. My lease prevents me from having more than 2 cars,
and both need to be titled, insured, inspected etc.... i.e. no projects
cars littering the landscape. Long story, I had to accept their terms to
get the house and the owner was freaked out about my neighbor's
"unsightly" yard with vintage MG's scattered all over.

he does have an aircooled bay window bus too so he can't be all bad
