Glad you got your ride back ... You really lucked out ... Don't be too pissed off while you're getting her back together ... Could've been alot worse ... Oh ! ... Don't forget to install an alarm with a kill switch ... Good Luck ...

You may want to consider a shifter in there as well, man that thing is long


ORIGINAL: 50Trippin

well insurance should take care of everything. they're being pretty cool about everything so far. we'll see when the money part comes. Anyways, I am almost positive that it was kids cause when I picked the car up the seat was so far forward that I couldn't even get my knees under the steering wheel. Not only that but it takes a real winner to burn a clutch up in 60 miles worth of driving(I just happened to have reset my odometer the day before they took it) I'll get her back to tip top shape again. maybe even a little upgrade if money permits. Need gears! LOL.

I will be doing some sort of kill switch. Most likely something that intterupts fuel pump operation. For the time being I am in the middle of buying a house and it will live in it's new garage. 3 more weeks.

Awesome, it could have been worse and thank god its not. I suggest an alarm along with one of those clutch pedal locks, like what you put on your steering wheel but for your clutch.

Yeah.... our world has truely gone down hill. sounds like some of my dumb *** friends.... Why they insist on doin it i dunno. I guess a quick few hundred bucks is worth all the risk. Rather than an alarm, i would suggest the shotgun treatment... watch ur car and if someone touches it,... shoot on sight...!
