Operation RX-8 Rescue @ Google!
 

Hey folks...

So alil' while ago I was in California for a conference... and I came across something rather disturbing while I was visiting a buddy at Google.

In parking lot I found a clearly mistreated RX-8. This poor unfortunate 8 clearly hasn't been redlined in quite some time... in fact.. if you look at the rear window.. you'll see how long the poor thing has been sitting there... loyally... since March 15th 2006 waiting for it's owner to return. :tear:

I say next time anyone goes down that way... we liberate it!

Warning... the following images may be disturbing.

google in irvine???

you know in these cases, the owner is probably dead/murdered and his body is dumped somewhere. Or the body is actually in the trunk of this car right now.

Can't believe it has not been towed. I'll take it though.

isnt there like some kinda action i can take by callin the DMV and having the title transferred over to my name if the owner doesnt respond in time?

I'll run the plate.

The owner is probably dead.

That plate comes back dead. Get me a VIN.

It's located out at one of their Moutain View offices... not there anymore so I can't getcha the VIN :p

moutain views to far...

Maybe we should post it in the car lounge...they are one of the largest car forums in the world and are famous for high school drama, CSI style hit and run investigation, and a general hate or Rx8...:) http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3927051

No wonder so many people are starting to use Bling. Poor little 8.

Poor neglected 8 :(

An 8 should only be made to sit like that in a garage wrapped up in a car blanket for the winter :(:(:(:(

I want to cry.

Post this in the California section... get them to investigate!

Does no one else find it very odd that someone left a car in perfectly good condtion (at least ont eh exterior) out for 3 years?

Even if the owner had died or something, wouldn't someone have sold the car off?

Maybe he died and owed a lot. Or maybe it was stolen by a Gangsta Google employee and dumped there.

aww it looks just like my ss :( nice and stock

poor thing

I find it extremely odd... and at that location inparticular. Doesn't really make any sense what so ever... but.. you have the proof right in front of you!

That is an odd site indeed.

On a side note, Rev, I didn't know you knew people at Google... Hook a brother up!!!
I need to get out of this winter hell hole we call Canada! ;)

Neo, you mean the mythical FD needs to get out of here :)

It's too bad you were out of the country for 7stock north.
You would've seen the mythical FD. :p:

Bahh i dont beleive it!!!!! LOL :)

I ll see if any one in so cal knows about this .

oh wow! i pass by this office all the time when i'm visiting a friend

i'll make a stop by and leave a note...
