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.

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

Warning... the following images may be disturbing.

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.

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

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

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.

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