i had a dream last night that someone stole my like new condition 2004 G35C... felt so violated.

got up and went back to sleep... dogdamn allergies playing games in my head.

When I first got my car it was after I woke up twice a night for month because I was dreaming about my care being stolen. But this was all due to my friends Z, a veteran member here getting all his wheels stolen, his reaction was hilarious though.

He walked outside, saw his car, lit his cigarette, and just said...fk
xD

Same thing happened to my friend in Nov of last year. He lives in SE DC in view of the Nationals Baseball stadium. They took his rims when his car was parked right in his driveway. Since then, he sold his car. Was tired of being worried all the time.

Sorry it happened to someone else.

I'm buying a second car just to park at the park & ride. The Sentra I was looking at fell through. So I got a loan for 7k, hopefully I can find something nice that's not a target. I think anything low end like a civic, fit, versa, Mazda3 should fit the bill.

Smart man!

MR.nismo

Civic's and mazda 3 (speed 3 engines a quick little bastards) could still be a "targeted vehicle". The most stolen cars in US are civic, camry, accord. The reason is since they are too many of them, the demand for parts is high as well. If you want to be totally worry free you need a ford ranger or a geo metro.
I had a "semi" nice Evolution back in the day and I used to drive to work/errands around town an old Chevy S-10 POS. It was red with a blue tailgate and had nothing but what came from factory. Not even the radio was upgraded and it had an anemic 4 cylinder engine.
I have a friend who owns a 911 Porsche but drives a Geo Metro to work and around town.

They took his wheels, but that is after breaking the windows and finding the lug key. I think this was more of a regular robbery that became more opportunistic when they found the key in the car.

If you carry your lug key around you, have a full set of lug locks on your rims, and have a security system in your car, then you did your part. If something still happens to your car after taking all your precautions, well that's what comprehensive insurance is for.

So this guy was parking next to me before my wheels were stolen. Not anymore lol.

So the body shops estimate is up to $8600. They are telling me the rotors are fine, but I'm fighting them on that.

Redhorizons

So body shop just called and said they need to replace the calipers as well but not the rotors. How much do you all think the calipers will cost? They couldn't quote me yet because they hadn't ordered them.

Redhorizons

Parts department at local nissan dealer said $1800. Actually surprised, I was figuring more; though they are not Brembos. I Had an issue with the brembos on my 03 Track back in the day. I remember them quoting me around $1200 for a single rear.

kenchan

i wouldve thought the rotors could get damaged when placed on the ground but calipers, huh?

Redhorizons

Yeah, they did some damage to them when they were taking off the wheels. The car was parked close to the curb on the passenger side; I guess that's why. I want the rotors to be replaced as well, but they keep saying they are fine.
