Default So they found it at last!

Yesterday cops called my brother and said they have found the camaro...
It was actually not far from where i live... So today we came and checked it out... Still in ok condition, just a little banged up... still with all the mods in it: exhaust, ptb, slp lid, 3500 stall... But he ignition is broken and speakers are pulled out...plus the front grill is falling off...
... that car will be auctioned off, i will post the adress of the towing company later... Camaro does have an excellent drivetrain and has 70K on the clock

Why does it have to be auctioned? Is it cause the insurance paid it off already? +1 for telling us where its being held/auctioned, I know a guy who needs a F-body.

i will tell you guys location hopefully today and yes insurance gave him money back for the whole car + mods i think...
but seriously, the car would be a gem to have, with no running problems what so ever... Let me see: it has been seafoamed a month ago, plugs and wires were replaced 2 weeks ago, and it has a brand new tranny that has a month on it... I would buy it myself, but i seriously dont have parking, nor i dont want it to get jacked again...

stay tuned

my brother does not want to get it back due to wanting to buy a sportster bike... i want it back, my brother fell in love with the 6 speed (used to worship that auto tranny before)... but if i do get it back, there will be 5 cars in the family, and i just cant afford that, plus i'm almost 19, so cant really afford another car with high full coverage insurance... i would have to park it on the street, and it probably will get jacked again... But it would make a killer DD for me
I wish i could get rid of that maxima, but it's sort of on my dad's name and he wont let me sell it (i tried already )

This anti-theft device will stop the ******* amatuer or even a porfessional thief unless he uses a tow truck: http://www.ravelco.com/

I've been thinking about getting one. The more people, the cheaper the price.

Also, a friend was telling me about a GPS locator that you can throw under the seat and look up online at any time to see where the car is parked. It is marketed as a device to keep track of teenagers or to see if your mechanic is taking the car out for joyrides.
