Damn, nice TA. Sorry to hear about it being stolen. I remember when I first got my Formula, the first day owning it, my old apartments had it towed over night for not having a resident sticker. I tell ya, when I went down to the garage to find it missing.... Well I was hysterical for a few minutes until a learned what happened.

Not to kick you while you're down, but I'd have some low jack or something with a car like that. Hope it works out for the good.

At this point it's all shoulda, coulda, woulda. Texas was a last minute decision and never in a million years did I think it would have been stolen there.

It's an extremely unfortunate situation and depending on what insurance does might be one I won't be able to bounce back from.

Shitty thing is, it's probably in a few dozen pices now. You may get it back, which is something at least, but all the goodies will likely be gone.

Sucks to hear about the theft.

Hopefully a true form of justice is served in one way or another.

Man, my heart goes out to you. I'd be out of my mind... and my car hasn't cranked in a year and a half.

I know it will not be any help, but I wanted to just let ya know that whoever stole your ride is going to suffer for it.

Universal law of nature, no one escapes. **** and get fucked.

(But I am hopin' that she turns up for you.)
