Hi Guys,
I'm a musicain that does some do some extra driving to get to gigs, an hour is not unusual. When the 94 VX was given to me, I thought I had stumbled upon the Holy Grail. The 47 MPG I was getting in my winter driving amazed me. I couldn't wait for warmer weather so that I could patch up her quarter panels & abtain even higher MPG's.
So after walking to my car, wait, where is my car? I called the police to see if it was towed, nope not the case, comming upon the realization that my Holy Grail was stolen. What to do? Luckily, the piano player that hired me was also the same guy that was able to give me the 50+ mile ride home. Lucky me, true friend.
I did make another call to make sure that my report was taken care of & called my insurance company. I've only been driving the car since after Thanksgiving. Since it was a 94, the insurance company instructed me not to put comprehensive on it being it was so old. Now I have nothing! This afternoon my wife & I will go back to the scene & drive the streets of the area as per instruction of a another police officer. I was told in most cases they take a Honda just to joyride. The real parts cars are the BMW's, MB's & the like. On my car if there was no rust there was a dent. I would believe that my car would not be a good parts car candidate. What they do is drive them for a few days & park them a few blocks from where they live. I hope so. When I left my VX, it still had 7/8 of a tank of gas, so they could be driving it for some time.
:eek
If anything turns up I'll keep you posted,
Dave
