A couple days later they found the remains of the car. Sad. http://www.thestarphoenix.com/sports/Stolen+race+recovered+pieces/10001709/story.html more pics, not sure if you have to login to see them http://nitroimage.proboards.com/thread/5126/stolen-race-car-scat-rat 8199200-stolen1.jpg (491 downloads) An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.

As easy as it is to disassemble a race car, I just don't understand the need to seriously cut one apart, especially when you end up dumping it in plain sight. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

He's either scamming insurance, or he did something VERY wrong to someone who is not afraid to deal with things himself. If the owner can't tell the cops who did this, he either did it himself, screwed over to many people to keep track of, or he did something very immoral or illegal to the WRONG person. This is not random. To many things don't add up, and when that's the case... Go back and check the math. "use it 'till it breaks, replace as needed"

The car was like one of the family, there is no way this is an insurance scam! He is a good man, sponsors a bunch of cars at the track and is well liked. We'll see what the police end up with but i believe this is just some sick, irresponsible people with no respect for others property. Bob P. 68 GTX 440-6 10.92 @ 120 03 CTD Laramie QC 4x4

Here is one absolute I am fairly certain of , and it has shown itself often enough in my 55 years that I smell it's stink before I see it. People will NEVER accuse others of something they are not capable of themselves. Not a judgement.........just an observation. If this happened to my car , I could get a serious hate on. When it happens to someone else , I can only feel empathy.

You slandered the guy, plain and simple. It's a free country,and a free internet. Doesn't make it right. RIP Last edited by sc4400; 07/06/14 10:26 PM.
