Default Does anyone recognize this car?

This black C3 has been parked in my garage for over a month now. My dogs have enjoyed sleeping in it which is pretty cool. The cats have put a couple of MINOR scratches on the hood when the dogs were chasing them in the garage, but they are hardly noticeable at all.

Does anyone know who the owner is? I'm thinking about filing for a lien on the car for unpaid storage fees. Does anyone know the process for this?

Any help is appreciated.

TIA.

I don't see a car. Is it invisible? Are you dreaming of what should be in your garage?

Hey that black one sure looks familiar. I just came in from my garage and my car is missing. Could you check the drivers side front fender and see if it has a scratch just near the front marker light. If it does that black car has to be mine. It has been missing for about a month now.

I know the guy ,he's a great friend and helped me out a ton building my car. It is now time to return the favor. We are going to install a warmed over LS-6 based gen III. I cant wait to start on this project...it should be a strong performer when we are done.

I guess it works for cars too. I guess the grey one got a bulge when the cover came off on the black one?


Could also be like a big dog when the hair stands up on its back, it is showing who the boss is.

400 HP, 725 HP, 255 HP. I guess mine needs a dose of LS BS to wake it up.
