Angry Sabotage strikes again

Alright we all heard what happened to manntis, well someone decided to take it out on me as well.

My rear end went out a while ago, and with a new rear end from 13k redlines donor car I got my baby up on the road. Everything was going just fine, she was going straight, and no noises, or troubles (except learning a posi when your used to a limited slip)

So I go out today to a job interview, and the rear end is "shifting". Its like everytime I let out on the gas the whole end slides to the left, and when I give it gas it slides back to the right. Really weird, but its not too bad, so i think its just the road, or this rear end.

Well I happen to run into my mother on the road, and she tells me to pull over, she has something to tell me.

She says "it looks like your tires about to fall off"

Well I look at it, and two of my lugnuts on one side are missing!

Someone had removed two of my lugnuts, and loosened the other two hand tight, in hopes my wheel would pop off!

What the hell is wrong with people?!?!?!

Umm... I wouldn't exactly call that sabotage... I've had lug bolts work loose once or twice on me before.. no one did anything, they just decided to come loose of their own volition....

nah these didnt just come loose, these were loosened.
I tightened these up with air tools not even a week ago.

BTW no idea who did this, but, i will catch them if they try to do it again. . . . . . . . can you say SKS?


Its night right now, but I have a feeling if I go look outside in the morning, my lugnuts will be right there in a little pile.

Are your neighbors old people? Those old people are evil, conspiring kahniguts. Never trust them! All sweet and wrinkly on the outside, devious and shrewd on the inside...

Anyways, if my neighbors car wsa too loud, i would be critiquiing the tone of the sound. "Hmmm.. definately loud, but a bit too metallic for my tastes!"

yeah they are old people.

They complained because my car was too loud when I came home from work one night. . . . . . that was at 8!
What kills me even more, is that theres this guy right down the road who has open headers on his racecar and he runs the thing all the time
no complaints about him, but hell might as well mess with the kids car next door because he has a sports car and wont conform to their needs . man I hate my neighbors!!!!!!!!!

Do not trust old people. They may be old, but who knows what they did when they were young! Anything that disturbs matlock is a sin to them!

Here's what you do: set up a video camera which overlooks your car. Plug it into your VCR and set the timer to start recording at the extra-long play setting starting at about 11 P.M. That will make it record until about 5 A.M. Then, go egg their house to precipitate their retaliation. If something is amiss with your car in the morning you have them by the *****.

Ever since I fired my gun between that punk-*** trespasser's feet (made him dance, like on Bonanza!) a couple of years ago, nobody messes with any of my ****.
It helps to be the President of the local gun club. -WG

Go to your local SPCA, pick out the meanest, most viscious dog, (preferably Rabid, and a Rottie....) and chain him/her to your rear end..... never have a problem again
