[Update: Due to unforseen circumstances (it's hard to take home groceries on a bicycle), it turns out my ride will remain alive for the near future. Sorry.]

Coming soon...

While in no way official yet, here's the idea: the total destruction of my '97 Land Rover Discovery. Drive it off a cliff maybe, or pack the frame rails with explosives, or drive if off a cliff and fill the frame rails with explosives. The honest and hardworking citizens of the net will get to discuss and debate the most glorious demise through forums here, with a final vote being held and then the carnage caught on video and offered up in all its web streaming glory.

Why destroy one of the best vehicles I've ever owned? Well, if it isn't obvious by my whoring out it's destruction, I'm looking to cash out. Just the price of the rover, mind you, according to BlueBook. Through ads, paypal donations, and maybe even a few front row tickets, I plan to avoid the hassle of fixing the thing up to sell. Years of off-road abuse has left a slight list of repairs needed to get the thing back up to mint condition, and the tea-sipping nature of the thing makes it far to expensive to repair. Insurance fraud, while fun, is far too tricky and full of peril.

Yes, capitalizing on the murder of this British beast of a machine is the best way out. Plan on things to get underway towards the end of May, with destruction occuring in late August or early September. Hell, let's say Labor Day weekend, and call it a holiday weekend extraveganza.
