My Old TB Evo IX MR SE Stripped To The Bone
So I ran across my VIN to my old beloved TB Evo IX MR SE this morning. I haven't seen it pop up on craigslist or eBay since I traded it at San Rafael Mitsubishi in August of 2009. I decided to Google the VIN (JA3AH86C56U068310) just for the heck of since I've found past cars that way. Boy was I sorry I did. Apparently the car was apparently stolen and completely stripped to the bare bones. It's really sad to see any Evo on that state let alone one that I use to own. It killed me to trade it in 2009 but I had to do what I had to do. Anyway here are some before and after pics. RIP...

damn sorry to hear that man. It's crazy they completely stripped it, but didn't take the steering wheel.

Exactly what I was thinking, that and ACD pump. They left like $500 just laying there, and they clearly were not in a hurry or anything.

It's like seeing an ex-GF slaughtered or something. I don't what the deal is with the tasteless monster G SPOT sticker on the back window. TB MR SE's are kind of tough to find. I'd like to get an RS next time.

My theory? They were searching for the Gspot.....and by the looks of it, they couldn't find it.

Rookies.

Seriously though, a sad sight for sure.
