see the video for LOLz > **[Woman's Stolen Car Found Completely "Pimped Out"](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/womans-stolen-car-found-c_n_551604)** > > Woman's Stolen Car Found Completely "Pimped Out" > NEW YORK (Associated Press) - A Brooklyn schoolteacher whose car was stolen three years ago has gotten it back – totally souped up and unrecognizable. > Amanda Pogany’s 1996 Honda was returned to her drag-race ready, with a new **V-8** engine, manual transmission, leather interior, tinted windows and oversize tires. > Police found the car at an illegal chop shop and were able to trace it to Pogany even though the VIN number had been filed off. > Pogany had given up on ever getting the car back. She hasn’t driven the new version of the Honda yet because she doesn’t know how to drive a stick shift. ---
