I have a question for all of you here, I'm sure some of you have heard about Jesse and his fatal accident in a 1993 Silver FD in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada from the 3rd gen forum at rx7club.com late last month...



The car is up for grabs now for impound fees, and the canadian forum of the rx7club.com is going bezerk for the car since its only 300 dollars, frame is no good, but driveline is still intact. The question is would you feel right using parts from a fellow rx7 enthusist who passed away in it?



Personally i would stay as far away from it as possible, i feel wrong about it, and it would be bad karma.



Rest in peace Jesse, and his car should as well...

what u don't know can't hurt you. So if you had no clue, no harm. I might think 2x about it.

Yea there is some bad karma attached to that buy, i wouldn't touch it with a ten foot poll, especially if I knew the guy.

I would be on it like white on rice!

Jesse would have wanted his car, or some of it on the road. IMO

Well, put it this way...



SOMEONE is going to buy the car (parts).



At least let it be someone who can respect them.

For the lousy $300 they want for the car they should just crush the car, someone died in it for christs sake, are there no car crushers in Canada?
