Im so exited i dont know what to do. Cali Police dept calls me at 7 pm and tells me they found my car, He told me they pulled some guy over and arrested his ***.

If they pulled someone over that means it RUNS and could be in good coditon still. I have to call the towing company in cali at 7 am 12/05/06 so they can have someone go out to the yard and tell me the discription of the vehicle.

so so so so extied if body is not in good conditon welll the motor must still be.

 

What car is it and where was it stolen from?

I am assuming it is either a long ways from home, or isn't a 7, if you aren't going there yourself in the morning to check it out.

 

It's his old RX7 that was stolen within the last couple months from Federal Way, WA. It's a LOOOONG way from home!!

Good news!!!

 

wow i have been wondering what ever happend to the car.. congrats man. it s a big plus that it made it to Cali that would even be bigger plus if non of the inside **** was stripped

 

I dont think my stereo/dvd system is gonna be there but hoping body is in okay shape and i want my suspension set up and my motor. I cant go down there until weekend so im screwed on the impound fees.

I think it is 80 a day here not sure how much in cali

 

The car that was stolen in the car in my avatar.

 

damn yea the itnerior would be the last of my worry's really,, what have you been driving in the mean time.? did you get a new 7?

 

Well lucky i bought a vert at local auction when i still had my coupe, when my coupe got stolen i drove my vert for 3 months or so got the insurance money bought my truck and along the way i picked up the gtus and 88 gxl . They are real clean cars, I drive em to the store evey once in a while.

My daily driver is my truck , despite the shitty gas milage

 

My car got stolen on 06/10/06 so its been 6 months since she has been gone.. I thiink im lucky that it still runs and hope im even more lucky that it has been unmolested minus stereo and rims is what im thinking is gone, but suspension body motor is what really matters. I will let you guys know condition when i call at 7 am tomorrow.

I wont be able to sleep tonight, kinda suck being that i get up at 4:30 everyday...

 

sweet...I thought this was going to be a thread about how it got chopped,you are lucky

 

Well idont know for sure all i know is it was pulled over and that means it was running

 

You still own it or does your insurance own it since they gave you a check? Just wondering

 

i think he would still own it butthat is a good question.. that would blow if the owned it.

 

Insurance bought it when they paid him for it. Legally it should belong to the insurance company if he took the payoff. Which means they are responsible for the current impound fees. I'm sure he could attempt to buy it back from them, though I think they will most likely sell it at auction or to a dealer... Registration is most likely where they got his info to contact, the car should no longer be in his name.

 

Yep

 

When i first talked to them when it happen the adjuster told me to mail in title and all keys, I held off and wasnt signing them title or mail keys until they gave me amount i wanted.

It took so long for them to get my money (3 months) when it happen and they said its been gone for 3 months now. so the adjuster lady said i can keep the salvage title , car is mine

B/4 they told me the amount i was getting back i asked adjuster if she still needed me to sign the title over to them and mail them all copies of keys and title and she and her boss had me on speaker phone and said they are letting me keep the salvage title.

i have the title and keys in my house.

MOre info
Car is now primed black,no stereo,interior all there not stripped, pipes still there, wheels still there,bodykit still there,all windows still there, tow guy said it runs fine, And there is big dent on rear quarter panel

 

So, when are ya going to pick it up? CJ

 

SO some drift theives stole your car, you got luck on the salvage title deal.

 

Good deal, man! So you got what... 17 FC's now?! haha

 

dang thats pretty crazy, at least they found it, sucks they fucked it up though

 

congratz on finding it and getting it back

 

Its FOR SURE! I called the insurance company to make sure it was still mine and yes sir it is, Me my bro and wife are leaving friday afternoon to make the trip to san jose california to pick up my baby! Bringin digi so i can take pics of 7 in tow yard and once i get her out of there.

Any thing i should do besides check and fill all fluids,tire pressure?

 

oil.. the oil might be pretty bad if they hadnt changed it and have been driving it around for a while.. ? it aint that big of a deal but it might be a good thing to change it in a shucks parking lot or something.. i would but thats me.

i can tell by the way your type you are excited as hell lol glad she is fine and back.

 

Congrats

 

HELL YA im exited ! Wouldnt you be if your car got taken away? Then u didnt see her for 6 months? Then you found out she was still in preety good condition and still ran ... hell ya im exited. Everyone i tell says im one lucky **** to get her back.

I decided to take my truck and rent a Uhaul car hauler, gonna pick it up in cali its only 39 to hook up 2 wheels, and 49 to get one with hook up for all wheels.

A company called UNITED ROAD *URS only charges $530.00 to bring her back to wa on a flat bed. The bad thing is that would be the route i would take but ...... in this case i have to be present with picture ID to get release forms to take to the impound.
