Janis Jalopy is the name we gave to Woozle's Mercedes Benz after recovering it from Georgia. The Benz is a 1983 380 SEL 4-door sedan imported from Germany by my dad, who basically gave it to me in 2000. It ended up sitting out in a field in northeast Georgia for about a year, with expensive consequences. More details to follow.

  • An account of the ill-fated Benz Rental
  • An accounting of same
  • receipt for the repair work Janis required in order to be drivable again, after recovery through the court system
  • Some pre-wiki photos of Janis, just after returning home to NC
  • Someone in Australia has a 1981 version of Janis... and he can actually afford to keep it in good shape.
