So a couple of weeks ago when we had one of our many snow storms that we have been having Jared was driving his car and got stuck. Well when he was trying to get unstuck he apparently revved up the engine to much and some how ruined the engine. To get a new engine for his car was going to cost about the same as the car was even worth. A couple of days later I found a guy on craigslist that wanted wrecked cars and trucks so I contacted him and told him we had a car that was in good shape except that it needed a new engine. He came by and looked at it and was going to buy it for $475, however Jared couldn't fine the title to the car. We moved to Iowa the same time as he paid of his car so we never received the title from the bank. Jared called the bank and they sent us some releases form so that we could get a new title. Jared sent off all the stuff to Utah (because Iowa said we needed a new Utah title) a couple of days ago and we have just been waiting on that so we could sell the car to that guy. Here is the sad but amusing part. Jared has had the car parked in our neighbors car port since they don't have a car and with all of the snow there isn't room to park it on the street. Tonight the snow on top of the car port got to heavy and the whole thing came crashing down on Jared's car. I don't think that guy is going to want to buy the car anymore at least not for as much as he was going to. Jared is over at the couple house right now helping them fix their window that is now a gapping hole because the carport ripped out the air conditioner that was in the window on its way down. So we may not have a car but at least we don't have a big hole in a wall in the middle of this very cold winter.

Sad yet still quite amusing

Oh my goodness!!!! Will the insurence now pay for it? That is crazy I hope you will be able to figure something out.
Okay, that is just hilarious. Poor Jared's car!
I'm doing good - not so big but everything is growing normal. Thankfully his favorite positions have not included his feet in my ribs! I hate that! Of course, I'm sure it's coming....
Thinking of you lady!!
love, jj
unbelievable! I'm glad you were getting rid of it anyway!
Wow what luck you guys have! Reuben says your neighbor's home owners insurance should pay for the damages to your car, which is probably more then 475 dollars. You should use that money to buy a new car!
Holly Crap! Jess that is so sad but it is totally funny at the same time!
A little update
The insurance guy came out yesterday and our neighbors home owner insurance is not covering damages to our car and we have min. cover for car insurance so needless to say we will not be getting any money for the car which really stinks but at least we still have my car.
Oh that is so sad! This darn snow, I can't wait for some sunshine, I'm glad you could at least ruin the engine before having the car totalled just by the snow. It still stinks though...
