Construction workers threw roofing material off the apartment roof and kit the car denting it
Tire was slashed
The car was broken into and my ipod was stolen.

That is just what happened at the apartment complex.

Just wait until I get pictures of the IS350 when it is done. I will not be as mad as I was when I saw it vandalized. I have been working with the shop doing some mechanical stuff so I have been prettty involved in the build and I am so excited.
Oh snap, Ryan, I forgot all about your destructive stay in Maryland.

Get that car ready for Springfest so I can see it, hope you can make it.

Some new parts just came in to go to the powder coater. These were custom made for me by a fellow NELOCer.

If you are only looking at my signature you do not have all the pertinent information. I bought a 2008 IS350 and have not changed my signature since. I will have it updated once the car is done. I did however buy 2012 IS headlights for the car which are being installed while it is in for paint

Mike, I live in Pittsburgh. The vandalization happened in an area of Pittsburgh that is called Wilkensburg which a notoriously bad area. I should ot have taken the car there but I have to drive it for work and my wife had the Jeep which I would normally drive to a place like that.

I have no new information. He is priming it and painting it this week. I hope to have it for the weekend but I am going to Vegas on Monday so if I do not get it back that is ok I guess. I feel like I have been lying to everyone since it has been so long but as the pictures show I have not been.
