| | | Vandalized...
Well, long story short, I walked out to my car Saturday night/ Sunday morning (around 2 am), which was in my girlfriend's driveway. Approaching the car, I noticed a "For Sale" sign on my windshield, no witting or anything. Looking closer, I also found a grapefruit which had been smeared all over the windshield. I further examined the paint, praying no body damage. To my luck, the only other thing I found at that time was the other half of the grapefruit, squashed onto one of my tailpipes. With a quick reaction, I simply through the crap to the side and drove off, it was 2am and there was no damage.
Next morning, Sunday morning, I have a missed call from my girlfriend's dad. I called him back and he told me to go check my tires, he found about 15 nails in the driveway. I ran out, and of course, there were over 19 nails spread between the 4 tires. Each tire had at least 1 int he side wall and no less than 3 per tire. Me, my girlfriend, and her mom all did some calling and the word got out that we were looking for the suspect. I called the cops and at the very last second before committing to pressing charges, we got a call from the kid's mom who did it, saying that her son did and not to get the cops involved, she would pay for all damages.
Lucky for me, my tire guy was able to pull through for me and got my tires (BFGoodrich G-Force Sports) shipped in by 11am this morning, got them on, and had me off on my way back to Boca Raton, across the state from where everything went down.
The ironic thing about this situation, is that I have no idea who these two kids are, they don't even ring a bell and once I looked up their pictures, I realized I didn't know them from anywhere. I really hate immature and stupid people, kids, can really be. I know I am only 19, but what did this prove? That there parents can pay for their stupidity. It took a lot for me to keep my cool on this one...
Sorry guys, no pictures..

That is terrible, why would people do that to a random person!! I mean, if someone hates someone I can see it, but a someone they don't know? And you seem like a nice guy... so I don't think you ever %&%^$ with anyone. Glad you got it taken care of...

| | | haha, nah it wasnt surfer... at least I doubt it was.... lol.
even so though, if they "hated" me, what does vandalizing it show, just that they are extremely immature and can't figure anything else out to do? at least confront me, i would have rather it been that way... dont touch my baby, lol.

| | | Gosh that sucks! I am so sorry! Thank God they did not mess up your paint. You were also fortunate to make it home on those tires!!
I hope they cost her plenty. That kid ... man, you are lucky you found out who it was!! how much are your tires - costly, I assume?
Good luck getting her back to normal!

I think it sounds random if you've had no run in with them before.
Unless it was Surfer.. he is pretty immature.....ROFLMAO!
Sorry Surfer, I can't help myself.

| | well, these are the best tires available in the upgraded size I am running, but they are very inexpensive, only $570 for all four. Just compare this to a set of PZero Neros I used to have, those Pirelli's are NOT cheap... damn, I should have gotten them... lol. But I spoke with the mom, and the check will be in the mail tomorrow =)
These are the tires I replaced today with the same ones...

| | They were just jealous for a couple of reasons:
#1 - Your nicely detailed vehicle is nicer than theirs.
#2 - Your girlfriend is HOT...errrr...I mean hotter than theirs 
Glad his parents are responsible anyhow! Glad it worked out. |

lauren | In all honesty, my girl friend is beautiful. I can't help but to think that there is some jealousy motivating people here... either way, I was reassured that my gf has nothing to do with this, and I have no reason to think otherwise... (i know everything, lol).
