Default so i was browsing...

looking at cars online, and i came across a GSR for sale... i open it up and i look at it... sure enough it's the same 4 door peice with gsr blades that was at the lube shop that i went to a week before my car got stolen.

and get this, it says "new motor installed..." i have the strangest feeling now that it was most definatly that kid...

seriously, do it.

i was tossing the idea around of scraping the MR2 for now and just get a nice, high-mileage GSR for saving money

your cousin taking down the engine vin will look very suspicious...you do know where the engine VIN stamp is right?

have him take a digital camera.. it will be less obvious..

just be sure that the engine serial number is clear on the camera.. then u can walk away like normal & go straight to the police station! FTW!!!

werd thats what i was thinking... the major thing is the last 6 serial number digits.

but it's more than likely these guys took it off.. but it could just be scratched the hell up, at which point the cops still have suspiscion.
