it to the government for non-payment of taxes? >>
Greetings all:
My recollection is Hayden was still fighting with the feds over the tax issue
when the car, sitting on a siding (in California?), was vandalized, perhaps
set on fire. The damage was bad enough the car was scrapped. I believe I
have a clip on this in my files although a quick search has not produced it.
