I used to walk past one of these every day on my way to and from my dorm.

My school apparently had no idea what it was for years and it just sat outside underneath the EE building and people would draw dicks in the dust on it. When they realized what it was, they immediately yonked it inside and made a student team to refurb it.

It's super cool I got to see such a piece of history and rare car even if I didn't realize it for so long.

I remember that car!

Slapped a dillo late one night after walking through that tunnel.

It can happen but you should generally refrain from it.

Begs the question of how it escaped GM's clutches. All EV1s were leased with no buyout option, later recalled, and most crushed.

TFA says this is not the case, and mentions universities as some that received them at the end instead of the crusher.

Once it goes to auction is has a clean title.
