Thats why I'm glad everyone at my school knows not to f*** with my car, especially now that I've been driving my dads Lincoln everyday. People here are dumb, plain and simple. But they know you don't mess with a Lincoln rockin an Italian flag on the trunk. Or a bunch of guys 6'3 and up (me and 3 of my friends). But yeah, violence, when severly punishable like that is hillarious, but not always good. lol

Another episode, thinking back...
My Sr year in high school, I had a jerk in photo class who I caught red handed stealing my photo paper (250 sheet box ~$150 for the stuff I had). Because I caught him, he decided to nail my tires (all four) and sap the hood of my car, a 67 impalla with the powerglide and a 327. To say I was pissed was an understatement. Daddy had bought hima mustang convertable so me and my mates went out, blocked up his car, ripped the top down, took off each wheel (and tire stem) one in each seat of the car. . . all the way down to the wheel bearings.

Never had another problem with the twerp, and his dad took away the car when it came out why he needed a flat bed tow to the shop.

I'm going to have a really big one of these printed up on one of those window sticker tingys that are just a plastic sheet and use no glue. http://www.meixnersmagnetstogo.com/images/novelty_magnets/nm018-lg.gif After being keyed last week, and now somone sitting on the hood... I need an alarm. Too broke to buy alarm, so I figure a $5-10 sticker thingy will due for now...

When I started driving my 300D to school last year, I was almost certain that the hood star was going to walk at some point during the year. The school drew its students from the part of town where you'd expect it to happen too. But lo and behold, it never happened . People knew not to touch it...or hell would have been raised

Just what I was thinking. He knows your car and you ain't with it all the time.

Might not hurt to think of a smart way to do something nice to the guy that in no way is ass-kissing.

Knowing how to put out fires when they're small is a useful talent.

I cant believe all these posts saying you should not have done this. That guy must be insane to mess with your car like that. You drive an old diesel benz which means you most likely have some tools in the trunk to beat his ass with.
Skinned face is nothing.

How old are you people?! It seems like you need to get your priorities straight...What is really important in life? A car? or someone's life?
It is just a car, transportation, and not something worth hurting someone over. Find a more mature and productive way to solve your disputes.

They are in high school, mature and productive doesn't exist there.

Man some of the stuff I did...

What you did was a bad way to deal with it, should have put the car in park and got out and chased him off. He was just looking to get a rise out of you.

Let's see, kid sits on hood and driver beats kid with tools that reside in the trunk. Cop arrive, arrest driver.

It's a good thing that people have to have ccp and be 21 to buy a handgun.

LOL, I remember two of us on the roof of someone's station-wagon, holding onto the roof rack while he tried to shake us off at about 40 mph.

Sometimes I wonder how anyone survives to be an adult.

Local teen riding on back bumper of pickup truck; teen driver takes off quick to make people in back of pickup slide out.
Dude riding bumper falls off because of drivers action; cracks head on pavement . Everyone laughs Even dude who cracks head laughs it off.

Dude gets headache, goes home, goes to bed and dies in his sleep.
No one is laughing anymore.


I saw same thing happen last week at local high school; girl sitting on trunk lid talking with friends, driver takes off quick for yucks, girl slides off backwards after the car is going about 15mph. She tumbles cracking back of head twice while rolling;....everyone laughs except adults. Girl tries to laugh to save face but cries instead. Teens keep laughing while girl is in obvious pain, skinned up and torn clothing.... She didn't ask for or expect this. No one young says they are sorry or seems concerned; driver gets the biggest laugh of all.
What the heck is going on in these unformed immature brains?

I was just kidding. Beating someone for sitting on you hood would be a bad idea. Shoulda chopped off his head!

What oppresive state requires you to have a ccp to buy a handgun? In colorado you just cant be a felon or under 21. Citizenship not required.

better than alarm

I read about a car security device somewhere that is basically a 4ft section of angle iron with a really heavy duty spring that sits just under the rocker panel of your car. Someone messes with your car, catch gets flipped, angle iron swings out and WHAM 2 severely broken shins. Theres also the option of pyrotechnics or high-discharge capacitors... Probably illegal in this land of "freedom" and "democracy". I want one anyway BTW if you aren't 21 just get a nice 16 or 12ga side-by-side shotgun, bigger bang for your buck, in my opinion... looks a hell of a lot scarier too, AND you can shoot clays on the weekend.
