Short version: The nice-looking (but still junky!) VW Cabriolet got into a crash while under control of a friend of its young owner. This happened approximately 50 feet from the finish of Day 3. A dozen or two BABE Rally participants pulled together to straighten the body so the water pump and alternator could be made to work again. The owner drove it away on the morning of Day 4, far less despondent than he’d been the night before.
Here’s hoping the “Crapiolet” is still trucking along behind us today, and the it makes it to the finish in the French Quarter.
