It was an auto theft recovery.

Thanks guys, I'll do a thorough overhaul and post some after pics. The steering isn't bad. I am coming form a WRX so I'm not used to the ride. But I will say that after a month of driving an LC I actually love it. A totally different way to drive. Less stressful, more cruising less speeding. A...
