Man... this thread came back from the dead! Before today the last post was in August!

But yeah, it's awesome that Teej found his car... That's the kind of personal justice we all need to see once in a while.

I thought about it. This year im going as a trained member of the US Military Police with numerous hours of hand to hand and unarmed combat training, along with a utility belt full of "tools" and an F4 Illustrator paintball gun. The paintball gun is for use on MY property though, we had some ***** walk all the way to our front door to smash our pumpkins last year, and thats something my Mom and I do religously together so she was really broken up about it, so Im out for paint this year so to speak, lol.

Go on with your bad CSI self, congrats. I'm glad you got your car back. I had the same thing happen to me about ten years ago, GSL-SE stolen. All the parts stripped from the car. Nothing left but a carcass.

Yeah, its a little odd. Too bad I dont have anything to add to it but the fact that everything RX-7 I own is for sale.

Yeah, you werent around when it was stolen and all that were ya?

I remember that drive too, that was way fun. I pulled away from a white T2 vert on I5 South on the way home It must not have been running well or something, because my car shouldnt have out ran him... I dont think. He had a heavyset passenger though too.

Anyway, yeah I have it back, but Im trying to sell it actually. I need to get rid of all these damn cars sitting around, so Im kind of looking for parts for it, or if I cant find parts for it, Im trying to sell it and keep another one I have. Either way, Im not leaving them completely!

awesome story TJ. so u been to the army, thats cool hell i was gonna go also abut nah, i would go to a retail store and get a job there, espicially in the Loss prevention department thats what i do, they pay fair enough money for the nice and easy job i have, i would recomend Target the retail store. you do lots of detective work in that department, i think it would best suit ur needs. and if u work hard u can move up!! to a market investigator hell they get paid more than regular police detectives. its a fun job. but keep up the good work and yeah this thread is old but i just saw it lol.

GlaZer,

While TJ's story is definitely an amazing one, you should be careful when searching or reading old threads. Unless there is a really good reason to bring theads back from the dead you should leave it. Bringing old threads back clutters up the main page and takes up the space of someone who might be asking for help or giving pertinant info in a thead.

Now we don't usually nail people to walls for bringing threads back, but I think it should be mentioned, since we've been getting more traffic in here lately and it seems things fall off the main page before I get a chance to even look at them sometimes!

Still... I'm glad Teej got his car back
