Sometimes when I see things like that I wonder if the car was intentionally left behind.

I kind of doubt it, Rev. I just added the caption to the picture. It says the car was fully restored and in a garage. Painful.

This is one time that the car would have been better off outside the garage.

Fully restored? I hope he has pics to prove it. Detailed pics. His insurance company is definitely going to want to see them.

I used to live at Carolina Beach, NC. Every time we had to evacuate for a hurricane strange cars would suddenly appear in the parking lot of my condo.

Agreed. It would be beyond foolish to have a car like that without a good appraisal locked away in a safe deposit box somewhere.

Default wiring diagram 99 - XK8 Stereo

I'm installing a new stereo in my car and was wondering if anyone has a wiring diagram. I've checked a lot of suppliers and no one seems to have the adaptive wiring harness for it. I'll have to splice most of it......I think ??? Thanks in adavance.

Damn, that is just wrong. I mean, that's a horrible way for a classic, restored vehicle to end it's life. Hopfully it was fully insurred with photos to back-up the claim! Best wishes in that regard!
