stupid people

What's with stupid people? Today I found a glob of glue on my windshield. I must be some heavy duty stuf cause it is not coming off. I even tried carburator cleaner! That stuff dissolves anything. Glue, paint, rocks, anything. It did next to nothing to this glue. And a couple weeks ago my center cap was missing. Either someone really doesn't like me or there is a high concentration of stupid people around here. Is it just me or are stupid people attracted to damaging all 7s?

F*CK ALL WHO MESS WITH 7's!!!!

My 7 has some scratches in the rear--and I know the mark of a key when I see one... The previous owner must have had her enemies? Of course, I am now the owner--and most people respect me and would never scratch my baby

You want stupid? The guy who owned my RX before me welded one of the door adjusters through the bolt holes to the frame. When I saw that after taking off the door (it was sagging a bit), I just had to sit on my heels and go "Huh." Of course, I doubt his intent was malicious, but damn...

Some people just have no respect.

My Seven always used to be garaged when I lived with my parents, but now in the summer I have to park it outdoors in my student slum neighborhood. I live right next to a huge off campus rez too, which means constant streams of drunk 1st years walking by all the time. My solution has been to set my alarm so sensitive that it gives a very loud warning chirp if someone so much as brushes against my car, that way I hear it and can come outside to regulate lol. One time though I came home at 4am and caught some idiots that live in my building ******* with my car trying to set my alarm off. I set em straight though.

Yeah, that's no good. Last year my sister parked her brand new Civic in her high school parking lot... when she came back her hood was so smashed from someone jumping on it it she had to replace it.

One time walking back from a bar I witnessed some guy kick a giant dent in the fender of a sweet Volks GTI, just for the **** of it. I just can't understand people's total lack of respect for somebody else's pride and joy.

On the funny side, one time my friends and I brutally stole someone's parking spot on campus - the last spot in the parking lot (they had been waiting for it for a while and we just zipped in front of them). The next morning I came back to find they had lifted a giant recybling bin on top of my car, and topped it off with orange traffic cones. It was like some weird statue or something. I didn't care and actually thought it was pretty funny, since it was only my old winter beater civic.

The worst I've done to a car's exterior is just deflate the tires through the valve stem... This car was in the middle of the parking lot where my friends and I do 180s, donuts, etc, etc. It pissed us off so much we just deflated all 4 tires... Luckly we didn't cut the stem or slash the tire cuz it turned out to be a friend's friend's car

Now... to the interior of a car is a different story... (alcohol, ringing doorbells, and other wild thoughts involving cars...)

Someone had dropped the air cleaner wing nut into the carb on my '83 GS when I got ahold of it, but it was a deal for that reason.

People mess with cars because usually they are just ********. But a lot of time the damage is intended at you personally, cuz they aint got the ***** to come do it to your face, so they choose the car..

Now one time we were coming outta a club in Indiana. And this f#@king *** with a 90 or 91 F-150 parked right on top of my drivers door. I mean it was so close my buddy bryant couldnt get between the truck and my car (bryant is like 5 10, and 120 pounds ) Bryant was driving cuz I was trashed, well anyways, he got in through the passenger door, and backed up, right as he got even with me, I was bout to get in the car, but I thought oh f#@k nah. So I put one big *** dent in the trucks door via my foot. But I kinda felt bad about putting a $1000 dent in the truck door and bedside. But i was drunk and wasnt in a good mood anyway. But back then it was a new truck. So anyway, thats the worse thing I have ever done to someone elses' car..

I left work late one night from my restaurant, I was tired and in a lousy mood. I had an old 65 F-100 with a 352 V8 and posi traction. Some ******* had parked right on my back bumper (parallel parking) and one right on the front. The problem was there was not a parking spot behind me, I took the last spot so I could back out. No power steering in the beast. So any way this ******* parked real close because there was no space and he was getting real close to the intersection.
So I already had a couple of beers in me, I just backed up real slow until I just felt the bumpers meet. I looked around and gave the old girl some gas. I was real surprised how easy a Honda will move with it in park. I pushed it out in the middle of the street and then I went home.
It had to be a surprise for the ******* who didn't know how to park.
Oh to be young and dumb again,

Items Needed:

1) Super Soaker Water Gun - Small sized

2) Filled with Muriactic Acid (Pool Acid)

3) Write "*******" all over the hood and sides of the
victim's car in Muriactic Acid.

4) Stand back, watch the bubbles and smile


My friend did this in the early nineties to a guy who kept taking his designated parking space day after day, even after recieving warning stickers and such at his Condo.

It was a black Mustang GT. Real nice too. The parking was so bad that the guy didn't mind getting large orange stickers on the car every day.

Never happened again after that.

v8kilr, thanks for the advice on getting the crud off.
I'm not gonna touch the other guys cars, if I did I would be just as dumb as the guys that screwed with mine. Hopefully they will screw up the paint and I can prove who it is. I was thinking about a new paintjob anyway. No paint job is better than a free paintjob provided directly from the pockets of your enemies. I know black looks nice on a first gen.

Four steel hooks and two, six foot lengths of 1/4 inch plastic covered steel cable is a good thing to have.

People don't think it'll do much harm to cut off a little Honda Civic in the mall parking lot with their Ford Exploder for a parking space.

Little do they know that this one's got 4wd and Park in an automatic tranny does nothing but engage a pin in the driveshaft.

That pin slips in and out easily if the car is jarred hard enough. It's a big offense to park on the sidewalk... A towing offense.

"But.. But I didn't park there! I parked where that little piece of crap is."

Di I mention how quickly a 1.5 liter engine cools down, especially when it has a blown thermostat and shorted out electrical fan switch, so it never warmed up in the first place?

"No officer. I've been in the mall for hours. Feel. The engine is cold."

My car gets keyed quite frequently - thank God the paint is not really that great! Also, someone has the tendancy to leave bubble gum on top of my roof. Hmm, once I find out who it is, i'll jam a potato up their exhaust!
