That’s NOT the trunk…but it is ridiculous.

It still works better than the factory engine. I hope the ramp leads to a tow truck. I wouldn’t bother shipping that car to some place that doesn’t have a crusher.

Now, now, that car might run just fine–there is likely a Mitsubishi engine hiding somewhere under there!

The ramp is to a u-haul truck.  
Someone was evicted from their house.  
That someone was obviously a packrat.  
There were junky belongings strewn over about 200ft of sidewalk.  
The passenger compartment of that car was also packed.

Maybe they’ve just put the K-car out for pickup along with the rest of the household trash.
