Ya, thats exactly how I'm expecting to track him, and yes i did file a police report,...had had z towed here around midnight last night to get new tires @ my work...ya i hope my manager remembers him and put some kind of information in the computer system or on paper about him. i'm waiting for my manager who worked him to get in... plus, more importantly i know what dealer he bought at...and I'm sure I or the police can find out that way who he is and everything, cause like i said i know color and trim of his z...so that narrows it down.

Can't be that many black 370s in your town........ police should be able to run the car through the computer, get any matches, then you indentify him. I would have him thrown in jail, then have the insurance company go after him for restitution on the claim, what an asshole

Otherwise, you are lookin at a case that will be thrown out with the finishing of the police report. As far as personal retaliation, I mean u gotta be willing to accept some extreme circumstances, before going that route.
A) you can find him to beat his azz then come to find out he str8 gangksta n he fights for the hell of it and get ya azz beat.
B) even worse, you fight him n he pulls out a tool and empties out in your face.
Or
C) you get the upper hand and u r the gangksta but someone saw you do either A) or B) and your azz goes to jail.

My advice is... see if a camera caught it and get the plates. Then file a police report and small claims suit. If not? Eat it and see if tire guard will cover it if u have it?

That dudes a d1ck, but so many car dealerships always trying to get over that now consumers are picking random targets. This is what happens in a country with the overwhelmingly vast majority practices unfair business practices and rip off scams. And I'm not saying the OP is a dishonest guy but it seems like there's a lot of "poor me" salesguy stories in a industry that has too much power to screw over the consumer. (I know, I once sold cars). Most salesguys take on the mentality of " I'm just trying to survive like everyone else to excuse the rip off tactic and not take moral responsibilty for there actions. I will agree that many consumers also out to get something for nothing, but the ratio of these type consumers is low vs. sheisty businessmen. 93% of car consumers don't have the skill to get over on a car salesman. The reason why dude went to the manager is because the manager only cares about volume 1st, then profit. Corporate throws some nice kickbacks for volume sales.
The guys not right but honest businesses are 1 in 500,000. And the auto industry is one of the leaders in ripping people off. Once you are fully educated on how car sales works... ANY little sheist will vex you to the fullest.
370's are one of the most victim targeted cars out there. Between rip off touring package. (Is no way worth an extra $3,800) to the different financing for the Z.(5.9% for prime? Come on). People are just more combative these days. If u not robbing them on interest, you robbing them on trade ins. If not on trade ins? You aren't announcing the rebates

There is little to no justification for slashing someones tires. He totally didn't have to go there. That was corny, faggy and immature. I woulda just rolled up to the dealership in the new Z and shook the hand of the guy who I wheeled and dealed with and told him. Thanks for your effort. Then showed him my new car. Lol. Why? Cuz I'm a D1k like that. Lol...
Then I would give him the best advice you can give a salesman. Always make the deal! You might not get the paper u wanted that moment, but when u bangin out 60 or 70 or even 90 sales a month. You get noticed quickly! Too many salesguys think bout now and not what bangin out crazy sales back to back does for corporate opportunity. Most salesguys think they doin somethin if they sell 1 car a day or every other day makin4%. Id rather sell 3 a day making 1%. Volume over percentage.

This world is full of idiots. Get that police report done so the law can deal with him.

I cannot believe a Z owner did this to another Z owner.....

Did you say you went into a store while they did this? could you go back and ask them if they have cameras. If so JACKPOT!

I drive a black Z sport/touring, and I will assure you, it's not me (I bought mine in June!)

There's another black Z that's around my area, sport/touring as well, but I've seen him around since summer, so he'd not have "just bought it"...

I'll keep my eyes peeled. That's nuts...
