I know this is not about my motorcycle, but someone was asking where i had gone. Life has been a little crazy, so i wanted to share my story from Tuesday, I wrote this on the day:
Wow, today has been bad. Well at least the start.
I woke up and was heading to work. I stayed at my girlfriend's house last night. I parked right in front of the door pretty close to a street lamp. Well, i am putting on my shoes and i look out the front door window and i didn't see my car. So i thought, i must have parked it further up. Then I go closer to the window. I still don't see it. Then i go outside with one shoe on my foot. MY BABY WAS GONE!!!
I am like WTF! This is in a decently nice neighborhood of Spokane. I wake up my girl and then i call 911. They tell me that i have to wait and a patrol man will be by. I call my family and then just start waiting. After about 45 minutes i call the police back. They let me know that my case had been transferred to State Patrol. This is not a good sign. My Lady lives in Spokane City.
So I call and they let me know that my car was at the impound lot. It had been picked up. They also told me that an officer will be calling me soon and that i should just go to work. Thanks! It would have been nice to know that 45 minutes ago. I get to work and my co-worker Tyler's father works for the county impound lot. So he called them.
My baby had been involved in a High Speed Chase. The cops found the guy speeding. So my supra at one point was going over 100 on the highway. Later it was going over 50MPH in REVERSE! I didn't know this was even possible. I don't think i have ever gone over 25. A Cop was nose to nose with my supra going 50. Insane! Absolutely horrible!
Also the guy launched it at one point over something. This is when the report said the vehicle started smoking.
So my baby has been destroyed. The rear tires are flat the engine is blown and the front end probably has some serious frame damage.
To make matters worse, this A**hole was a burglar on top of a car thief. He had picked up my supra probably about 12 am. The chase was at 7am. So during that whole time he was breaking into houses and cars. My car is stuck in impound because they are waiting for a judge to grant a search warrant because my car is full of stolen property.
Damn! This day just did not start off well. Damn Full Moons! Yes, last night supposedly was a full moon.
Here is a shot that my co worker's dad was able to get me from inside the impound lot.
Oh yeah! The Best Part! They Caught the Dirt Bag!!! He is behind bars!
At the end of the chase, he drove to his home in Airway Heights just outside of Spokane. He ran into his house and jumped into the shower. He then said to the officer that he had no idea what was going on. What a dumb ass!
The whole chase was captured on the video recorder. I sure would like to get a copy of that footage.
Here is a shot that my co workers dad was able to get me from inside the impound lot.
So yeah, it is funny because just last night i had spent time talking with my buddy mike about swapping the 3.73 rear diff with a 3.90. That is not going to happen now.
Here is information on the build up of my supra.
Update: Since originally written, my insurance company has told me that i need to look for a new car. So i believe they are totaling it. I plan to buy it back and probably salvage what i can.
My father also has friends with the police, so he was able to get the name and number for the arresting officer. He also got the name of the guy. I am going to write a letter to the prosecutor to help with the investigation talking about how much this car meant to me.
