Default Anyone Missing A Suzuka?

I saw a Suzuka at LAX today that looked very suspicious. It was parked in short term parking, yet had clearly been there quite a while. (Weeks of dust) There was also a ticket on the windshield, and the antenna had been snapped off. It looked like it had been abandoned there. I should have written down the plate #, but unfortunately I didn't. My concern is that the car was stolen and dumped there. If anyone knows of anyone missing a Suzuka (Plastic window, so must be an '01) this might be it. It's parked in lot #5 on the second floor near the center. PM me if you have any questions.

There is no such thing as an 01 Blue, or Plastic Blue. Blue is an 02' model and 02 came with glass!

Weeks of dust that's what my car looks like since I bought it. I've only wash my car 5 times, for the lst 10K.

I thought the Suzuka was introduced in '02, but this car had a plastic window. The blue looked Suzuka (not MCB) although maybe a little darker that Suzuka. This car has definitely been sitting there a while.

Yeah, the S. Blue is in 02', but 02 had a Glass Window. Something doesn't add up here.

it had a newer shift knob as well (the leather wrapped one) Maybe it's an '02 or '03 that someone put an older top on? The whole thing looked fishy, that's why I posted this.

Can we part anything out?

We do so much driving, that our seats wear out They make great OFFICE chairs. (Like the Sparco's)

I need new seats because (1) about three days after I got my S in 12/99, I turned it into a work truck. Many, many coolersful (Is that a real word?) of soil samples, which can weigh up to 100 lbs. and have relatively sharp corners, have punched a hole in my passenger's seat; and (2) after 75,000 miles of driving, the leather is wearing out on my driver's seat.
