and i had to go to the CPT meet on a donut. yeah, that was cool. :eyetwitch the caravan there was lots of fun. hope i see you guys next year though. we had 9 rx8s!

my sister called the cops and woke me up when she noticed. they poured engine oil all over my car and slashed a tire. this is the second time my car has been vandalized. march 14th, i came out and my car was covered in leaves and bamboo sticks taken from a neighbors yard. so this is an escalation. im not exactly keen to find out what they do next. im thinking of buying those wireless nightvision cameras microcenter has, a pair for $100 and a gun. maybe next time the police come, there'll be someone sitting on the curb. also, going to get that shock sensor from mazda for $55.

so i dont know what to do. my tires have decent tread left, ~%50. im not trying to replace all of them right now. and i just purchased a big mod for my car, so im not exactly flush with cash right now. my deductible is $100, toyo t1rs in 245/40/18 are $180. plus mounting and balancing. but insurance will only cover one. and at that, im pretty sure they only pro-rate the tire. like they did my exhaust. so im out over that, plus at least one other tire. im leery at having just 2 tires full tread though. i like all the tires to be replaced at the same time. but unless i stumble upon a few hundred bucks its not happening. these tires were supposed to last me until this december and in the spring i'd buy new rims+tires.

im sick and tired of this shit. and i dont even know who it is. jealous neighbor? an ex-gfs current bf who is just mad i still talk to her occasionally? an ex-gfs current gf that i hooked up with a few times? but i thought she didnt know..

im serious about buying a gun. next time what will it be? all 4 tires? a headlight? im so pissed my car is too low (stock) to go into my driveway.

Wow that really sucks man sorry to hear about it. The nerve of some people...

Shooting someone for messing with your car will not work out too well for you. If you can't get your 8 off the street you might want to look into some video camera with night vision. One that records to a PC, if no other car on your block was hit its someone that has it out for you.

did it eat the paint off or just the clear coat?

I sometimes have to keep my 8 outside because we have a 3 car garage and 4 family vehicles.

My parents installed motion detecting flood lights under the eave of our garage so I always park right under them. My parents bedroom looks out over the driveway to so I think that will probably deter and vandals... maybe motion sensing lights would be a cheaper option for you?

im not planning on shooting anyone. im planning on having someone sit on the curb waiting for the cops to come. :banghead:

and it must have happened only a few hours before it was discovered because the oil was still slowly dripping. it didnt noticeably eat into anything. luckily it was washed asap.

and this has been 2 specific incidences. no other cars hit. just mine. someone has it out for me.

motion floodlights lighting up the street might not be a bad idea. but i was thinking of a nightvision security cam. microcenter sells a pack of 2 for $100. and they are wireless. my bedroom looks out on the street.

I don't know what to say. Some little fuckers have no idea what it means to work for something and take pride in it. Sorry that happened to your car.

Something like THIS might also help.

I can only imagine your anger.

Those jugs on the roof, were they left by the vandals? If so there will be finger prints on them. Finger prints that can be matched easily

Ah, I know how it feels.. Haters.

oil coats everything. :/ not easy to lift prints from from running oil.

im just pissed as crap. and yeah, floodlights are going to go up next weekend.

suggestions on what to do about the tires?

damn. thats painful to look at.

get a pack of attack squirrels.

The first thing is to forget being concerned about having 4 tires with exactly the same tread. Don't worry about it. Just get your ride back to driveable at this point.

Sorry to see this, man... that's a shitty thing to do, and I hope karma goes and bites whoever did this in the ass. Hard.

that sucks bro, cameras are a must

Your car looks stock.

It should be able to go into the driveway. If no get a two by four. Drive over that and you can get in.

My car is lower than a bic lighter and I can get in the driveway without the 2x4.

Someone is mad at you. Here is a clue......... who do you know that changes oil?

Why would an ex girl friends boy friend do that? That is just stupid.

Have you ever tried to puncture a tire?

It is not very easy.

That and puncturing a tire is quite loud. It makes a loud pshhhhhhhhh sound lol.

sorry to hear it kersh . Definately figure out how to get your car off the road for a start .

Sorry to hear about this dude.

Experience?

damn that sucks man. buy a dog.

Sorry to see this, i hope the little f**ks that did this get what they deserve.

my car will not fit in the driveway. do you see the angle of that 7 series? it scrapes. i've tried it before.

I've killed for less!

awww shucks man. Maybe they thought rx-8 being a rotary needed lots of oil and 'helped' you out? j/k....
That neighbourhood looks like a rough area. I'd never park my car there let alone overnight. Sorry dude. Take care.
