Red face rebuilding her & update

Hello all. It's been about 3 months since my car was stolen. I was just about to put my Quest Power kit on & finishing the car up by shooting the hood to get rid of those nasty paint chips. (100 mph daily treks)
Well anyways. Nov. 5th I get home around 4:00 from A.C. I put my brake lock on activate my alarm & in to the apt. I wake up at 6:00 to go to work & find her GONE!! The first thing that came to mind was, did I make my pymt. YEP.
Long story short - call COPS-Lojack- 10 min. later found in Trenton NJ. I arrive at the impound lot & the tow guy tells me they found the car on top of a stolen Roll-back truck. The tow truck was still running after finding it in the middle of the street. Detective says 8 stolen tow trucks & 7 MB stolen along with my GS They stole the 20 WORK Eurolines chrome. The tow guy damaged the car more by dragging the car on the rotors. frnt. & rear bumper tore off, Blitz Nur-spec tips bent, rotors damaged & 2 broken windows. They everything in the trunk (spare tire,first aid kit etc.) I come home completely NUMB! Well with the good news

Got the Quest Power kit finally on after waiting about 1 yr.
coming soon.
1) OEM Q45's (blue sport edtion) Thanks Jimmy (2001HitechGS) FYI There are 2 different types of 02-04 model OEM Q45's gattling lights. By the way peeps. Jimmy is the BEST car guy I've ever met!!!! He's also my BEST friend .
2) MB lights 04 E-class with custom Hyper white LED's. They are shorter then the most often used CLK MB Turn lights used.
4) TEIN CS- TEIN Flex are destroyed
5) Audio system - ADI custom DVD/NAV/Eclispe w/12's
6) Blk. pearl Trunk bar & Ugo Duck spoiler
7) JP Fusa & Tails
8) Oh yeah WORK Eurolines again! I love em enough to get em again Well maybe the Fabulous RIMS
Oh yeah Bradi rotors & EBC

Paul

Pics coming in spring
Jimmy thanks alot for the comupter. It's GREAT & really FAST

Wow..they were pretty organized...8 tow trucks stolen for 7 MB's and 1 lex....

Do you wonder if MB #8 wasn't available and they just settled for your lex as car #8?

Damn...kinda makes me rethink anytime I'm too lazy to park my car in the garage at my apt. All it takes is a tow truck to take your precious car away...though, I'd probably hear if a tow truck was in the lot though.

Default yeah

Well the detective says it's a car ring & they were car shoppping. already had my address down & probally seen it before. I did not hear a feather drop outside. These guys were REAL good !!! I am gonna be putting her in the garage from now on. The detective said they use giant magnets on the hood to silence the alarm sound??? I dont know but, I was impressed at how quick these guys are. No broken glass around the car & they couldn't drive the car cus of he break-lock.

Paul

Hey Manny. How's the 745 coming along. I love the profile of that car except the rear shot.

HEY - You guys know the new 06 GS will be at the Jacob Javitz Center in New York City aAuto Show in March
The dealer at Lawerence Lexus told it will be there. It was definately not at the Phila.PA car show
