    Got one MM. New and old. They are holding one for me in North Jersey, and I have my original. Pretty sure the pickup line is bad. She last ran 2 years ago and would try to die out when the saw was pointed nose down. Need the bar too?

    Well I got the new one today. They are 40cc now. My old one was 36. Case included with this one too. Think I paid exactly the same 16 years ago as this one was selling for before the clearance sale. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet. Only that I will leave it in the box for now. Thinking about offerring it as a trade for an older saw on CL. See what bites, you never know. Either that or wait for the next storm to ravage the area and easiliy double the money invested while selling at box store cost.

    A friend of mine ran one for years, it is great joke material but it never failed to do the job.

    There are several Wild Thangs on Ebay for under $20. You could just buy a dead one if you are planning in blowing it up with C4. I can see it now...

    ...fade in from white, MM is at the golf course, and we hear the music from the move, The Green Berets playing in the background. MM is wearing the same clothes as Bill Murray in the movie, "Caddyshack" and he is carrying a Wild Thing chainsaw.
