Default I got My Baby Back!!!!

In 2006 I had to sell my blue 92 5 speed SC300, I didnt want to but unfortunately at the time I had to. 2 years ago I was able to purchase another SC3, but it just wasnt the same. I have always watched craigslist since I sold it hopping to see it on there, since thats how the guy that bought it from me found it (he lives 2 hours out of town).
So, last week I was on craigslist at 11p and seen an add with no pictures that said "Blue 5-speed SC300 project car, lowered, custom exhaust, wheels, fiber hood (yes they stated it as a Fiber hood and not a carbon fiber hood, lol) and dark tinted windows" and it was in a small town next to where the guy purchased it from me lived. I knew it right away and drove down the next day to check her out.
My Lex looked like an abused and abandoned child, she was pushed in their back yard half way in the woods and berried in 3in of mud, it was a sad sight to see.
I picked her back up with out my old 19s for $1500, this made my year!

Thank u for fixing the pictures for me. Yea they definitely didn't take any care of her. Interior and body where an 8.5 out of 10 when I sold it and now both r shot id give them both a hard 3 now. Needs a lot of TLC, but will b a fun restore job.

What are the odds that you would be reunited with your beloved SC.
