Somebody put a glass bottle under my tire...

That is why I walk around the car before getting in it if I leave it park for a long time.

I always do a walk-around, because I'm super paranoid of someone keying or door dinging me. I've also watched enough judge judy to know that as soon as you leave the parking lot, any hopes of being compensated are out the window.

Slade, that sucks, man. Glad the tire's holding up. I never get why people go out of their way to mess with other folks' property. Things like this, slashing tires, keying cars, dinging a door without leaving a note... I don't care if the victim car is a Bugatti or a Suzuki, you just don't mess with ppl's cars.

It's really pathetic when people just can't respect another persons car. There are many cars that I can't afford and no way in hell would I disrespect the person who can afford one.

A few months ago I was fortunate enough to meet owner of a Lamborghini Gallardo. He was kind enough to grant me access to his car. Upon inspection I noticed several dents in the drivers door. I asked him about it and he said that a group of teens were seen near his car with a screwdriver in ones hand. The kids seemed compelled to cause damage. Unfortunately he wasn't around to confront them.

I drive the beater when I go to the club.
I don't need my ride to be impressive, nor do I need to worry about it when I'm trying to have a good time. Not to mention the fact that my 10 year old Ranger doesn't attract any attention from the cops, which is a good thing when you're driving home after having a couple of adult beverages.

+1 This is exactly the reason I need to get another ride so this won't happen to my Z. If it does happen and I find them...there will be blood

You could always buy the Cougaratti to really make an entrance at the club

this thread reminds me... i had to drive over some remains of smashed bottles of glass yesterday that was a scattered across 2 lanes. better check my tires as well.

would be a perfect excuse to try some new pilot supersports...

Same crap happened to me a few months ago. I was pulling out of a parking spot and heard a loud pop. Turned out some a$$ put a snapple bottle in front of my LF tire. Didn't penetrate the tire, I just took a rag and brushed off what was left sticking to the tires. Come to think of it, I don't ever recall having glass penetrate any tires of any vehicle that I've owned. Nails...well that's a different story.

I really don't get ppl sometimes.
