Wow, this thread makes me sad. I can understand a bad apple running across your car every now and again but for this to be an ongoing occurrence is sickening. It's amazing how people could have such little respect for other people's property.

People are jealous assholes. My mom bought a CLS AMG merc. When she parcked at her company, she heard an employee of hers (who didn't know who the car belonged to) say the she would enjoy keying that car because "if some rich a$$hole can afford a car like this, they can afford a new paint job, it'll serve them right".

People used to look up to those who achieved the american dream, now they want to bring them back down. Crab basket syndrome is affecting a lot of people...

Y2A 06-29-2012 08:58 AM

^wow, that's just sad and pathetic, what did she end up doing after she found out?

As regards to the "Stand Your Ground" law, I'll leave debate of such to a gun owners forum!

The travesty is that he was arrested in the first place, while the thief was given a sweetheart plea deal to testify against the storeowner he was robbing.

Believe me: I'm up on the news.

Toronto should not be held up as the pinnacle of justice and good policing.
Just ask the peaceful protestors who got kettled during the G20, and ask the Black Bloc anarchists who rampaged through downtown Toronto without any police in sight.

The Canadian justice system seems to come down hardest on those who pose the least threat.

Gannicus77 07-01-2012 12:45 AM

Some haters spit on my wondows today, guess someone's jealous of my FRS.

Truth. People that bust thier hump being forced to carry those that don't want to do for themselves is terrible. Needs to go back to a don't work, don't eat mentality.

Contribute, somehow, or gtfo. :thumbsup:

I hate to read stuff like this, I'm going to be moving to Oakland in August, the 4th most dangerous city in America... maybe i should just sell the brz now to save me from the grief

cgrey 07-01-2012 09:07 PM

Last evening my car was saved by a new, clean looking Audi TT. Someone tossed a sytrofoam container bomb of used chicken wings and sauce onto the Audi and ran out of ammo before passing my car two spots later.

Love this town.

jurjurson 07-03-2012 11:25 PM

U guys didn't know there is a forum for Fr-s and Brz haters.

mfromwhere 07-05-2012 11:46 AM

Last night somebody flung over-cooked rice all over my FR-S.
What are the chances that some drunk kid walking by had rice ready to fling?

waylonrobert 07-05-2012 11:54 AM

Wow that's awful. Has anyone else ever had this sort of vandalism on cars other than the FR-S/BRZ?

rice_classic 07-05-2012 12:10 PM

Just ask an S2000 owner how long they had their car before their top was cut and their seats went missing.

The paranoia is part of the reason I don't miss owning that car.

What fueled the hate for the S2000?

Turbowned 07-05-2012 12:29 PM

To the OP, I say fold down the rear seats and nap in the trunk until someone f***s with it, then jump out and give them a beat-down!

rice_classic 07-05-2012 12:34 PM

Just the opposite. I have a deep seated love for the S2k but like the Integra Type R I can't bring myself to own again a car that always had me wondering if it (or the things in it) were going to be there when I returned. 3 people I knew with S2k's had their seats disappear and tops cut. On just about every S2k forum there's threads about "oh noes, my seats were stolen!" The worst part is, the cost of replacing them from the factory is in the neighborhood of $8-10k and totals out most cars once the top and whatever other damage is assessed.

If the "paranoia factor" reaches the same level with this car, I will sell it as well.

Rossman 07-05-2012 12:36 PM

WTF? Why were the S2000 seats such a popular target?

Im done with being paranoid. If someone does that to my car then I will just get another one after the gap insurance pays for the other one.

Cuz Honda tuners Yo!

Seriously, that's why. They fit in civics and integras and they are outstanding seats. Since removing them from an S2k takes all of 30 seconds a black market popped up over night. Steal s2k seats, put them on craigslist for $1k and bam, easy thieving money. There's a million ricer boi's out there right now searching Craigslist for S2k seats for their "JDM civic yO".

One of the most popular things to an S2k owner on the S2k forum boards is the seat locks. They are replacement bolts for the seats that are like wheel locks so it's damn difficult to steal the seats. This way when the thief attempts to steal your seats all you have to fix is the cut top and and may get them reupholstered if they cut the leather. Much much cheaper and doesn't leave you with a salvage title.

blackfireball5 07-05-2012 01:40 PM

I've had minor issues with my 3000GT parked at my college. Bottles and stuff left under my wheels to run over. Once had a bunch of mini marshmallows placed on my car while it was raining. It was damn hard to remove those after i discovered them baking in the sun the next day.

I think it just comes with owning a sports car, especially one that sticks out.

Best advice, give your car a high quality waxing and install a security system.

Just the other day 3 kids tried to break into my car in my driveway. (probably trying to get a stereo or something) My alarm scared them away and they were actually later arrested.

I had mentioned before that some people had messed with my Evo IX, mostly the first one I had since I was at the tail end of college when I bought it. But it was never anything that couldn't be un-done.

Jared0934 07-05-2012 02:07 PM

Viper Smart Start, alerts your cell anytime a security phase is triggered, even if just the RF field.

As for the cooked rice... I don't even know what do say... Put a gopro out in a tree and set it on motion detection so if someone comes by your car you can catch them and beat there ass...

gG 07-26-2012 09:34 PM

i'm disgusted by this thread.

you encounter so many low-life pieces of shit in the city area of new york (5 boroughs) on a daily basis. everyone's got a self-entitled, i'm better than you, hater attitude.

whenever i go on a road trip (outside of NY, hell even upstate) it's unbelievable how different and nice people are.

Tujin 07-26-2012 09:55 PM

The week after I got my Volt some asshole in a jacked up (very pretty) pickup with tea party stickers all over it spit tobacco juice all over my fender.

Hope he likes the door dent I left him as a consolation prize.

Ya take it easy, don't act cocky when you get it and don't gas it and try to do a impossible burn out, people don't usually like that, keep it humble. The car speaks for itself. I used to want to do things to people like that.

I'm just assuming, not saying you are doing that.i'm sure you'll be fun as more people get it.

I had a vandalism problem at my old townhouses on a car before this one. It all stopped once I shot a guy trying to take my front bumper off. You would be amazed how quick a bullet will solve a theft problem.

Did you just shoot AT the guy, or did he actually get hit?

track_warrior 08-17-2012 03:14 PM

Tint all your windows very dark, hide inside car, wait for them with a loaded .45 and then just unleash an iraqi firefight on their ass! Problem solved.

F**kin' A, man! I think if I did that in my state I'd end up in jail and he'd get compensation, though. Stupid Backwardschusetts! I need to get outta here for more reasons than one.

Just balances out all those crime problems started with bullets.

20valvewynn83 08-17-2012 06:03 PM

I shot him in the leg but it ended up bouncing and shattered his hip joint. When he was in court crying about never being able to walk unassisted again I almost lost it and started laughing right there in court. I believe he spent 2 years in jail for multiple thefts and warrants. I got a pat on the back from the constable who said "good job" for taking a career criminal off the street.

I fail to see how that is the case. Guns were made legal for citizens to own after they rebelled from the monarchy. They are so people can keep themselves and their property safe from all criminals, including the government.

If you hate guns so much they are illegal in Mexico I bet you would be super safe down there.

EDIT: Nevermind I miss read your comment, sorry. Pscylo's comment made much more sense

Pscylo 08-20-2012 09:44 AM

I believe, he was actually saying - Crimes started with a bullet dont allow for returned fire in defense (generalization), but you solved the crime with a bullet, thus being on the opposite end balancing out the bullet use.

I say you shoulda aimed higher.

California is terrible too.. I feel your pain...

The stem of the problem always resorts back to the entitlement of the lazy...

That is the most rediculous thing I've ever heard!! You can't tint your windows dark in CA without getting a ticket

nujee86 08-20-2012 11:08 PM

You guys cannot begin to imagine how hillarious some of these gun posts are to us aussies. But seriously, sorry to hear about all the crap you guys have to deal with.
