I've been Alaska since Feb 23rd and in that time cell phone service has been spotty. Today I set my phone on roaming and called my mom to see how things were going. She says "Let me preface this with 'shit happens'" She told the Geeser was gone. Happened Wednesday before last. I had parked it across the street from my house before I left for Alaska. This time I forgot to leave the key with my parents so they could park it in a gated storage space I've rented. Supposedly insurance will cover what I owe on the car minus deductible. I'm pretty sure with a few hours the engine was snatched and the body chopped up so I know the police aren't gonna find it.
Right now I kinda don't know what to feel. On the surface of it, the car is simply a material thing and losing material things sucks a bit but is nothing compared to flesh and blood. On the other hand I have a huge number of memories with that car and it pains me to have it go with nary a goodbye...
What to do now? Find another racecar. Its gonna kind of be a pain in the ass because I don't have the money in pocket to purchase outright right this minute and I don't particularly want to wait until half of the season is over to save up the money. There is a prebuilt SSB GS-R that I know of that I'm inquiring about but other than that I'm in the woods again. I should be able to find another car in time for the season opener but the problem I have is that I'm on the road so much that it is going to be much more difficult to sniff out leads. I guess we'll see.
