If I have 4 wheels, I might as well just drive it back. Not sure if it runs though ...

Should I try to find a set of wheels now and fix it over there or ask them to tow my car back to my place with flat bed( apparently they probably don't want to deal with that again...)
Wow I hope they didn't jack up your car for dragging it on to the flat bad. you can barrow my spare to get your car home, that means you would need to find 3 more tires or 2 if you still have your spare.

If your car was insured you should be able to get things rolling for you. Either borrow a set or pick up a set from suby dude. Get your car back. Insurance will check it out and anything torn up will get you a check. You can usually opt for the check to make your car whole and choose what to do with the cash. It's for the depreciated value of your car. If it was scratched and dented and you can live with it then you can put the funds towards what you want. A club for the brake is the cheapest must mod in this situation.

Good luck. Again. It's only property. That can be fixed.

Does the car automatically have a salvaged title now that it was stolen?

Even if you had 4 wheels, you would still want to get it towed for insurance purposes.


But seriously, did you get it towed with 2 wheels? If they did, your drivetrain is most likely ****ed.

I haven't check my car yet but will definitely do tomorrow.
I also picked up a set of STi wheels from CL...he is not the person who took my car for spins. My plan is to take those wheels to tire shops before visiting the tow yard and I will have my car towed to garage 1 ( or if there is any good shop, please let me know) for inspections. Hopefully there is no major damage for the undercarriage ....

So was it towed on 2 or 4 wheels (flatbed)?

Glad you found the car man, hope it was not too messed up and was towed properly.

That reminds me I need to get one of those tow stickers that goes next to the dash vin.

They used some wood planks to drag it on to the flatbed and dropped it on gravel once they got it back to the tow yard. My friend and I had to use scissor jacks to lift the car first in order to get the hydraulic jack underneath....it took us 1.5 hrs to put those wheels on. They refused to do it since they do not want to damage the car (which they already damaged.) It would be better if they left the car at where it was found (at least it was on bricks). It was, then, towed to Garage 1.

It has

mechanically,
1.rear bearing/hub damaged (both sides)
2.front rotor damaged, it only has about 100 miles on it (driver's side; however, they have to replace both)
3.engine undercover missing some hardware

Exterior was better than I thought; however, there are some cracks/dent/scrapping/cuts, mostly at the passenger side.
