I got my BABY back!

After 6 months of sitting at the impound yard, my baby is coming home!


My 1985 Mazda RX-7 GS... the "Humpty Dumpty" is coming back to it's RIGHTFUL owner!



For those uninformed, here's the cliff's notes: my car got impounded november 12th, it sat while I was poor... they said it went to auction on february 16th... no one bought it... it sat some more.... the price got higher everyday... couldn't afford it, gave up on getting it back.... went to the impound yard on a hunch last weekend, saw it sitting there... they said it was sold to the junkyard, I beat the junkyard's offer... my car comes home



Yeah, I had to buy my car back, but for what it's worth, I'm looking at it optimistically, and seeing it as they kept it in locked/razorwired/german shepard'ed/videotaped storage for 6 months



I've been working my *** off doing 18+ hour days with no day off, detailing yachts, and finally I have enough money to not only get my car home, but to insure it, register it, and put some money away for a motor for it.


All I need now, is legal paperwork (tags, title, plates, etc.), a NEW motor, a combination switch (it's an 85 GS W/cruise), paint (1993 FD Montego Blue, or 2005 RX-8 Winning Blue), tailight lenses, and some other little stuff.



I AM HAPPIER THAN A PIG IN ****!
