Okay that was my next guess - he lives in the car.  Whew - that's gotta be TOUGH...

Sometimes we take our lives for granted.

So if Ben lives in the car, how would he know if pics of his car got posted on the internet?

If I had to live in a car I would want it to be a c body wagon so I could have a guest room. ;D  Seriously though it is pretty sad that anybody has to live in their car - even a cool car.

I respect his wishes.

Maybe he's wireless?

Cool, I wonder if he would trade the car for a small house in Iowa (needs repair). :dunno:
Ben was Michaels pet Rat :P he even sung a song about him when he was young.............. :violin:

I think his name was Walt and he had a pet mouse in his car, named Mickey.

while we were chatin, gruffly guy gets his pickup w/plow and tries to go through a small opening between the chally and a strorage box and bumps the chally with his tire! tells Ben he got to move it back 3-4 feet! Put it in nuetral Ben, we'll push it back. Bens says no, you'll break the rotors!  ?????? i'm thinking, cars plated 08, although I've haven't seen it move in 1-1/2 to 2 years (he says 1-1/2, but I somehow think more like two, but this could be because I am immune to the car now), so gruffly guy and myself push the chally back a couple! D**m, doesn't it move rather freely? Almost surreal! Don't know what twilight zone I am in at this point! told ya's, hard to keep track of the visit with Ben. I have to say, I will go and try to engage Ben again and see if I can put more links together, but man o man, kinda weird!
Just so you know, I live in an area that truly gets ZERO traffic through it and to start the day off? we have a van that has been sitting in front of my nieghb's for 6-7 days, and I decide to check it out, and lo and behold it's looks like a van with someone's worldly possessions in it. wow, then I meet Ben later that day!
just really weird!

Twilight Zone
Bermuda Triangle
X- Files
Take your pick, sounds really weird to me.

But seriously, its sad that Ben has been booted out of the states and then becomes a hostage to his e-body.

Is Ben kinda like, all there upstairs?  I mean does it seem like there's maybe some screws loose, or is this a valid guy who's just horribly down on his luck?  I'd think living in a car for 2 years would do stuff to ya - unless "stuff" has already been done.  Just curious.
