Well after several months of weekend repairs my 'tour is nearly back to what she was. A subframe, new rims and tires, new bumper, 2 new struts, new battery and an oil pan, new left rear door and window have made it possible for me to terrorize the neighborhood with my exhaust again. There is still some work to be done, but she's drivable. I am actually gonna get her painted a whole new color as well. Pretty soon I'll be able to get back into the meetings and events we all talk about but never happen.

Well she was swiped late one night and the cops think she was raced over at Ontario then wrecked. They ran her straight into a curb at over 80mph, thats what they guess based on how far the car traveled into the dirt field. Then they took all my sounds and left her. I activated the LoJack as soon as knew she was gone, they found her that afternoon, near the 60 and 15. Insurance called her a total loss, so I bought her back for $1000. Been working on her ever since. Yes I'm keeping the color a secret. You guys will just have to wait untill she's totally done.
