Attracting the Wrong Kind of Attention

[ryun84]

So this isn't the "Fun" in Fun Talk, but I just needed somewhere to vent.

I hadn't driven my car in over 2 weeks after I bought my GTS hatch because I had to register it and it was giving me a really hard time passing smog. After 2 weeks in a STAR repair shop and a lot of money, she finally (barely) passed and I brought her home.

The next day, this happens:




Stupid ****ing kids. I mean, out of all the nice cars on my street, they had to pick mine. And it's not like it's some supercar. My paint condition is mediocre, I bought her with a black rattle-can job done to the rims that are peeling, interior is a C- at best... I wonder if it weren't for Initial D, would this have happened? It also sucks that I had the windows slightly cracked open to keep the inside from turning into an oven in this summer heat, but that just gave them a literal opening to smash eggs into the interior. Guess it's time to clear more space in the garage to keep her inside and away from kids with questionable parenting. I can say that, because when I was a kid, I never did dumb **** like this.

Sorry for the rant. Has anything like this happened to you guys?

**** people. End of story.




Btw, how much did you get charged at a Star smog shop? And what did they have to do?

[kulitko]

That sucks man... But those irvine kids can be dicks sometimes. Atleast they didnt steal it.........

Bait them back, and sit in your driveway with a shotgun. Scare the sh** out of them and I bet its left untouched forever! I've never had somebody mess with my car at my house (I live in the woods) but I left it on the side of the road broke down for 20 minutes once, and when I got back somebody had put a rock through the windshield. Bad feels man. Took me 2 years to locate a new windshield.

Yup, share the sentiment. As for the repairs, I was charged $900 for work on EGR, thermostat, throttle body, O2 sensor, and then testing. My engine was idling very high and was way past the gross polluter levels on the first test. Glad they were able to make it pass, but the bill definitely hurt.

Yeah, Irvine kids. Too little to do here, so they have to egg my car for fun. I'm sure some of those kids will graduate to car theft eventually.

Was definitely thinking of a stakeout. Couple of rocksalt rounds would do the trick.

Sounds like you have some fans in the neighborhood, and they took after your car. Surveillance camera, dashcam, because they'll be back.

That's scary bro...california sounds rough with all the thieves and vandals everywhere. Hope your paint didn't take too much damage.

[OG UTOTMO]

that happen to me but on my te and i just but other time they bb my rear driver side window well i called d police as well so far that incident never happen again...

[Gino1X1]

Me also, way back in the late nineties when I tried to turbo the 4AGE. But they used mud to sling at the FRONT. so I had to unbolt the hood, pressure wash the entire bulkhead/radiator taking off the FD3S intercooler to unclog the condensor.... effing genital heads.

I would think the person who did it knows your AE86. If this happens again or any damage of property, call the police as non-emergency to at least report about it.
I know the police is not going to invest on finding who did it, but repeated reports in the given area does help as it can help.

Sorry that your car got egged. Could be worst

But the weird thing is that I've only had the car for a few weeks (less than a month) and most of that time was spent in the smog shop (over 2 weeks). And I bought the car in LA so I doubt they know the car. Although... surprisingly, there is another silver GTS hatch in the next neighborhood over! Maybe they thought my car was that one? I saw the driver once and he looked like a younger dude. Could be his "friends" thinking it was his car? Who knows.

But yeah, I think if anything happens again, I'll call the cops and file a report.

the average person thinks corollas are pieces of s***. add that to parking in the street and living in irvine, where no cars are older than 2007. thats a recipe for disaster.

[T.C]

I had the same thing happen to me recently. My window was open a bit too so it got all over -_-. Crazy thing is they did it twice to me in one week...

Ha! This is so true! One of the things I hate about this city.

[SidekickChuck]

I would make the assumption that it could have been a case of mistaken identity (thinking your car was the other) or that the guy with the other Corolla in town does not want another one around. Theres only room for one Corolla in this town....
