Family HOGG

Story: I listed Eric Blackberry Curve (retail $359) in the classifieds a few weeks ago 
for $100. A guy called about the phone asking if I would consider a trade. He was desperate to replace is broken Blackberry and offered a "kids motor bike". Sure I thought, he was desperate and if he'd asked I would have just given him the phone bases only on his need and my desire to de-cluttered, but a motor bike? Hmm. Sure! I could have Eric drop it off at the DI on his way home from work if he found it did not run. 
No worries. . 
Anyway, I made arrangements for him to meet Eric at work to make the trade. "Does he have a pickup truck?" the man asks. "No, but his Honda Accord has a large trunk" Picturing in my mind a kids size power wheel motor bike and thinking he could slid it in the back seat if he wanted. "Ahhhh, I don't think it will fit in his trunk" the man says  "We will figure it out, no worries" I reply. This guy has clearly not seem a Honda trunk is a few years. :) 
WAIT! WHAT IS THAT! 
Clearly not the kids power wheel motor bike I envisioned. 
We call it 'THE HOGG"
