And I've removed civic motors without a hoist, trust me, its possible.

How far did he drive the motorcycle? This seems like he went camping and turned his car into a motorcycle for kicks. It doesn't seem that he was "stranded" just like around the corner from where he needed to be. Perhaps he could have walked back.

Props to him if he really did build something that resembles a motorcylce out of the car, and used it to get out of a desert, but he's still a moron for trying to drive through the desert in an old french clunker.
