Thanks, Not really sure it even works. I took it all apart and polished it with 2000 grit and mothers mag polish when i had foot surgery and nothing else to do. It cycles and I had no parts left over ha, but havent shot it yet to confirm.

What a shame he didn't drown to death.

Usually unauthorized use instead of theft means the owner knew the criminal and was unwilling to press theft charges. The unauthorized use allows the insurance to kick in.
Hopefully they firehose him so he does not stink up the jail for the other criminals.

Later story says the owner is a 79-year-old fellow who had taken it to church to show it off. When he went out for lunch the POS stole it. No clarification on how he got it started.

Wonder he could run a clutch.

Well now he has a home, and 3 meals a day, healthcare, TV and other things he never had on the street when homeless.

Amazing the dude could even drive it... Probably why it ended in a lake. Feel bad for the owner, senseless bs.

That guy is spooky looking.

if the gas shut off were turned off, he probably would have had no clue about that. I don't know if it was on or off, just guessing was more than likely left on.

pretty weird characters coming out of that area of the country. They need to get jobs and quit fooling with dope.

I thought Portland had all the weird characters. Must have exported some to Bend.

People like him , just a waste of good breathing oxygen. And now of days this country is wasting a lot of oxygen.

Love how the thread title has "deranged idiot" in it.

Same in my country.

Looks like that car is an easy fix. Is that a crack in the windshield from someones head? i hope that hurt.

It looks (from the total damage) that the hood was squeezed out of it's rear pin mount when the car hit the water and the top of the radiator was forced backwards, causing the hood itself to damage the windshield, visor, and roof as it became a separate part.

Some of the sad parts of this story could be described as:

1. That this poor senior citizen owner has suffered such a terrible lost when his pride possession Model A was wrecked .... and let us face common sense facts ..... at 79 ..... he may never be able to enjoy showing his Model A at this church ever again in its former pristine condition in his lifetime.

2. On the other hand, besides paying for this homeless guy's temporary room & board & hair cut, "all" of us will share the cost of supporting this homeless guy for the rest of his life ............. plus ....... that of all of the many fatherless children he will most probably have in the near future ......... our problems of paying for these types of guy's are multiplying quickly & getting far worse each day.

3. Many will agree that "today", more than ever in our history, that we may be approaching a time when we "all" should begin to look at ourselves in our mirrors & just "think" first before making choices for our future & the future lives of our children & grandchildren.

4. Fairly simple .. we already know that A Model A engine runs only when its fuel system & electrical system are joined together & "United" .... I have to admit that I am fully motivated to get our Model A parts properly connected.

Many a fund could set up to aid this poor fellow in need, and get younger folks to help restore his wonderful car..
