Anyways... Its been Four weeks! and i want it the FcuK back!!! 
I got an AFPR, Walbro 255hp, Boost/oil/egt gauge's (again, they where stolen about 5 weeks ago...) oh... heres a pic of how they got in my car...
Yeah, they put that hole in my window...then hit the unlock button... and Bingo.. Took my gauges... Just ripped them out... along with my DVD player and Screen... bastereds...
But on top of all that... I got Fired Yesterday (monday)... for fucking being late when i was stuck in traffic on my way from class... so i'm job-less.... DSM-less...  ...Money-less... and F-ing DVD-less...
Ok... no more venting... sorry. Input?

Re: I'm Ready!!!
Don't worry man it'll get better. You and I are almost in the same situation. Except I've been waiting 2 weeks to get my tranny back and I'm still without a job. lol
BTW, was the guy driving the ZO6 a complete idiot or something? I'd be a little more careful if I was driving a $40,000+ car. lol

The suspense is killing me...jp
So your uncle is fixing it? Are you making any money off the insurance company? Or did they blame it on you somehow?
BTW; I heard from my lawyer today, Allstate is making a settlement offer this week!!!

Re: I'm Ready!!!
That is so shitty, I would probably go out and fuck up that ZO6 or something with the amount of rage that would be in me.

Well now that would just be dumb.
Sucks about the car, man. Sorry about the job too. I am surprised they fired you for just being late. Did you call in and tell them you would be late, or did you just show up....late?

Re: I'm Ready!!!
The best kind of alarm is a shot gun!
That sucks man, I hope you get the beast back out on the streets and job to go to soon. Think the uncle wants help at his shop?

Re: I'm Ready!!!
If you got broken into at the shop, their insurance should cover it. That happened to me and the shop had to replace my punch and 2 10s.

Re: I'm Ready!!!
I had a similar experience. The shop doesn't always cover it. Somehow a little tin sign that says "Not responsible for stolen items" covers not only the shop area but the entire dealership complex. Who knew? I had to eat the cost of replacing my window.
Good luck with the car man. I feel your pain.

Ya, I wasn't worried about leaving my car at the local speed shop cause if it got stolen, I'd take one of their 6 rx-7s, the evo, 300zx-tt, wrx, or the twin turbo 350z.
