</div>

so this is the sad little story of the motor that was never meant to turn over.

once upon a time, an old motor was purchased by one mathew lacroix.

he took care of the motor and bought it many shiny things.

one day when it came time for the motor to sing, his battery went dead.

mathew was upset but he replaced the battery and upon doing so, discovered that the negative termainl was hanging on by a few coils.

so again, the motor could not be turned.

deciding to relocate the battery to the trunk, mathew finally was ready to turn the motor.

however, again he was struck with poor luck. the starter went dead.

weeks went by and a new starter finally arrived.

but as luck would have it, mathew lost all of his keys. he had them replaced but now the ignition is stuck in lock.

and thats the sotry of the motor that was never meant to be turned.

the end.
