When this from UMGoBlog.com hit my feed reader a couple days ago I felt like I'd murdered something beautiful:

You'll notice that this thing has been signed by Anthony Carter, Jim Harbaugh, Red Berenson, and dozens of other Michigan folk from years past. And you'll also notice it doesn't have any wheels: it's been junked.

That's tragic enough. But I have seen this thing before. It had wheels then:

I could have bought the thing for 2500 bucks. Which I didn't want to do because it was supposed to be an ice cream truck and I envisioned something other than a creepy molester van. Also what do you do with such an object once you have it? This was the owner's dilemma. He, or someone down the line, chose poorly. He should have put a sign on it reading "Ransom Demanded" instead of "For Sale."

So. The vehicle is on Eight Mile and Hoover. I don't know what you do with a junked, wheel-less rusting old heap of bolts but if there's anyone out there who can rescue this thing from its ignominious fate, my conscience would be indebted to you.
