Now the (true) story can be told, my car was Uberhauled by my friends!

Part 1: The Kidnapping of My Car

As some of you may remember, I totalled my 911 at Lime Rock back in 2003 and lost my job the next month. Fast forward to Sept 2005 and my wrecked 911 is still sitting under a tarp in my driveway and I'm working every hour of the day on my start up (or "starve up" as I've termed it) business.

On that day back in Nov 2005 I went outside to get some fresh air while I talked to my buddy Todd (Pelican "9dreizig") when I notice the car under the tarp looked somehow different.

When I lifted the tarp I discovered it wasn't my car at all. Instead it was a 912 shell with a milk crate and some cardboard in place of the engine lid to make it look like it had a tail under the tarp.
I'm on the phone with Todd, and I'm saying "Hey, HAAAAY! This isn't my car! Todd, someone took my car and substituted a shell!"
Todd says something like "You're sh**ing me"

Now it just so happens that I had sold Todd the motor out of my car but I hadn't pulled it yet. Todd, upon realizing that my car had been stolen said what any sensitive guy would say in that situation:

"What about my motor?" (Thanks Todd, you're such a comfort.)

I pulled up tarp some more and saw there was a note taped to the shell.
