the 954 son!

Angry

Still being uber pissed and researching vehicles to purchase.

Some D-bag felt entitled to come and take my car from my parking spot with a tow truck.

Sucks cause I just built a custom sub box for my car and finished tuning the system, but the worst part is all of my son's things that were in the car.

It just urks me to think of someone's ass in my seat, their hands on my wheel, and doing inappropriate things to my "LEXY".
Fact of the matter is that she's probably all gutted, stripped and on a parts shelf in Hialeah.

What a violating feeling to go outside and see your first wife missing.

This sucks!!!

So are you saying the car was:

1) Repo'd?

2) Stolen?

3) Towed to an impound lot for illegal parking?

4) None of the above?

Stolen my good man.

Ripped from the loving arms of her rightful owner.

Worst part is that I was almost done paying her off.

Thieves suck! Die slow bastards!

Did someone see it? How did you know a tow-truck was involved?

Note to self: Never ever buy the fancy computer tower model

Stupid pc decided to just start freezing at the mobo splash screen. I can' even enter the bios setting. Most of the time that means the cmos must be reset. Two ways: switch the jumpers temporarily or pop the battery out. My father has the HP model without the media bay and tv tuner card. He can access both cmos reset methods with ease. Since I have those two things on my HP model, the inside is more cluttered than a new car engine. I have a shot to remove the tv tuner card to get to the battery but zero shot at the jumpers. Heck I would struggle just to replace ram sticks if desired. Again my father's can access them with zero issue. Ugh.

All this to hopefully fix the problem. Stupid computer. That's the good computer. What good was it to make sure the software end was always in top shape if I can't even get it to look for a bootable drive?

That is the only way for the car to have been moved.
No windows were broken, no glass, no alarm going off.

There is no way to bypass alarm since it is intergrated into the ecm, no ecm car can't start.

Key has chip therefore it was not started and driven away and you can't use a slim jim to open the door.

There have been multiple auto thefts in my area for the passed few years and it seems that they take the most uncommon cars.
One was recovered in transit while still on a trailer but that was about 2 years ago.

ah, i was confused as well lol. first you said a tow truck was used, then you said someone was driving your car and i was all sorts of

i'm assuming you called the police and all that "good" stuff correct? i mean, hard to tell by writing, but you the "tone" of your post make it seem like, "aww shucks. my car got stolen. nothing i can do" and while that may (kind of) be the case, i would absolutely livid.

...if i had a nice car that is

best of luck getting it back man!

Thanks.
Yeah I called the cops, insurance, and finance company.

I am still pretty upset and mad but there is nothing I can do.
No matter how big and bad anyone is there are certain aspects in life where you are vulnerable.

Fact of the matter is that the car was probably stripped within hours of being stolen.

Now all I can do is wait for the insurance co. to send me a check and keep looking at cars and trying to force myself into liking something else.

Just sucks cause I saved for two years to get a down payment and this car was mint, would have kept it (stored) for a long time and maybe passed it on to my son.

it's not too shabby. i haven't played a Madden game since 09, a bit of 10 though and oddly enough just rented 11 to see how it is. i like the "behind the scenes" stuff more than actually playing so i was curious how that's been and if 12 will be worth the money.

however, as for game play, it was solid. i still am getting used to the controls, but i really like the "motionflow" play calling. no idea if it was in 11 or not, but what it does is for defense you get three settings:

gameplan
aggressive
conservative

and then the coach calls the play (can audible though)

and offense is:

gameplan
run
pass

however i usually like calling my own plays on offense.

but control was smooth, graphics weren't the best for a demo, but i didn't care too much, still very much. eyes on everyone still creepy. Rodgers does his "fist pump" thing waaay too much, but after a big gain with the clock running down, EVERYONE started running down field while Rodgers waved his arms like a lunatic. so that was a nice, realistic touch.

still can never pull off a successful juke, spin or stiff arm to save my life however. and that goes back to PS1 days!

Totally wide awake for the first time in MONTHS!!!

It has been an entire season of sleeping while totally aware that my AC was on in the background so I haven't slept in months.

Yesterday it rained like a pervert on acid and I slept, then napped, then slept again and I'm totally better. Alert. Good to go!!!!
