Did I mention it was in the Great Chicago Fire? It was.

2005 Mercedes SLR McLaren, extensive fire damage. It has a lot of usable parts, including:

* ENGINE
*TRANSMISION
*EXHAUST SYSTEM
*MOST OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION L+R
* FRONT WHEELS
* AND MANY OTHER MISCELANIOUS PARTS.

Screw it, I'm welding a patio chair to that sucker and calling myself Richy McMoney Burntride. So, uh, can one of you lovely readers float me $44K? Come on -- I'll let you sit on the gas tank and make VROOM VROOM noises!

Hit the jump for two more of the sadness.
