Yesterday I finally got to see and take posession of 0969 after the cops finished their investigation.

Cig burn in driver seat
Dent and paint scratches behind driver door
Stickers, stickers and more stickers (NOS, Vtech power, AIC Racing?) all over the car and windows
Plates gone of course, time to sit in DMV for hours.
Eight ***** for tire valve covers
Asses drove about 2,400 in 14 days

I feel very lucky indeed and mechanically she seems alright. When I go get her checked out is there anything particular you folks would check out?

Thanks.

 

compression..........make sure there is no motor damage

 

so they actually drove the car around for days rather than take it apart?

thats a first.

Good thing you have her back though

 

uhh. :wtf:

Man.. i just dont know what to say. Weird.

 

What a bunch of stunnaz...they were blingin' in your ride!!

Definitely do a compression test...

 

woah...I'm glad you got your car back.
What a bunch of posers!! Steal an Arrr and try to look like stunnas with a bunch of stickers and eight ball tire valve covers...

 

That's the only reason he got it back

 

I'm still stunned that she wasn't stripped especially after reading a years worth of horror stories in this forum. Bastards drove it for fourteen freaking days and got busted in the same town no less! My insurance sent it to the total loss department the day it was pulled over. I was already looking for a replacement.

 

That's pretty weird.

Definitely have a compression check done, probably check or change the oil right away too.

Glad to hear you got it back with almost no damage

 

first this

flamenco-t had a similar situation. the guy actually added his own upgrades and was driving the car around.

bunch of idiots in this world.

 

So will it be considered totalled or will the insurance just fix it for you?

 

damn, I would be FUGGIN PIST!!! glad you got it back though

 

weridos

 

They shot at you.

They stole your car.

Then they added NOS stickers.


I'm not sure whats worse. (joke)
Anyways, glad your ok and your car is back in good hands.

 

Unless something is screwed up internally I don't think the damage will exceed my deductible.

 

i wanna know htis also

 

IMO get rid of it, and find another one. If you keep it, you will always have an ill feeling about it, because you will never know what the bums did to it. They could have been ignorant, and messed with the internals.

 

Glad you got it back. Unbelievably dumb people in this world. (and probably in other worlds)

 

The insurance adjuster should be coming out sometime today to take a look, but once again, unless something is wrong internally I don't think the damage is going to surpass my deduct - $500.00.

Glad to hear you got it back.

 

fixing the cig burn in the seat alone should exceed 500
then theres the scratches

 

First things first...BREAK OUT THE LYSOL hahaha

Glad to hear it's in one piece

 

Good to hear you got it back but I could never live with a car that got jacked and raped.

 

She was jacked but not raped thank God. As Tweakmeister said..Lysol and plenty of it. I think I might appreciate her more since it was so lucky nothing was stolen except 2,400 miles. Back in her rightful home she is.

I've never posted much but I've always hit the R forum many times daily for about a year and learned quite a bit from you guys. It was damn near impossible to browse HTech when the car was missing.

 

Yeah, it's tough when people steal something you've worked so hard on.

I'll bet you'll get the thing cleaner than when you bought it off the showroom floor
