<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 1686176, member: 738"]The hearse you see in my avatar was purchased in Manassas, VA. It was originally owned by an undertaker in New Market, MD during the Civil War. After we purchased it many bad things happened. It started with the loading doors opening by themselves. ( humidity maybe?) We had two mishaps with it when hauling on a flat bed, one where the hitch broke. (but that happens all the time, right? ) Later, a cop car chase from downtown ended at our house, destroying the porte cochere, the hearse and three vehicles. The perp got away so the insurance was on us. After a two and a half year restoration, (the restorer had a heart attack and his wife had a stroke during that time) I was taking pics of the restoration and this image showed up. It's not me, I was wearing a blue tank top and shorts! More tragedy happened later, but that is not a story to be told here. We call it the cursed hearse. It seems to have settled down now, a tree blew over last fall and just missed the thing. Pretty spooky and I don't even believe in ghosts. [ATTACH=full]236086[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
