Thumbs down What was supposed to turn into a wonderful day of picture taking..(pics inside)..

turned into a living hell. i wake up this morning after detailing my car all last night to take some new pics before gets crappy again and before some stuff gets painted, to find that my car has 2 dozen eggs on it. Psycho girls seem to be really attracted to me (if you guys dont remember i had my windows spray painted last fall by some crazy freshman girl) so i take it to the detail shop and an hour later and 80 bucks less in my wallet most of the eggs off. Now also at this point i might as well bring something up, if you ride bikes and run tubeless dont let the liquid latex touch your car. back at school a tire blew it was on my rack and dripped the shat everywhere and it is still everywhere (harder than gum to remove). so they get a little bit of the latex off also but i notice these strange swirl marks on the car after i leave. my dad and i flip thinking its from the polisher but it turns out when the eggs hit the paint they explode and make these circle patterns. I finally clear my head and decide to cruz down to the skate park in the mall taking 6th ave. worst idea ever, the wind was blowing like crazy and as i crest a hill going 50 sand just covers the road and sky. i pull off imediatly and sit in agony while i watch my perfectly clear windshelid get demolished my sand, glass, and other particles. my grill got blasted along with my bumper and the roof of my car is f'd up too. man what a horrible day for my poor pooor baby. hopefully after new years she will have everything that isnt mil silver color matched including the tail lights, a new box for her subs (old box was to big to take to college so they are in a prefab right now) and hopefully an urd kit and water injection with black and chrome 22's arriving in march


anyways here are some pics. thanks a million jason b. the kit looks sick the pictures dont even do it justice

Dude that sucks! You got a nice looking runner there. I cant even imagine having 2 dozen eggs hit my rig. I had about 2 hit my runner one night and it left the same swirl mark but it didnt hit paint. It hit the black part near the window and ran down the crevice between the front and rear door. Still see the mark everytime and still pisses me off.

well lets just say that the people next door might have footage of said girl"s" comiting the act and seeing as how the paint isnt fixable without painting the whole rig so it might be time for a new paint job (and new scooped carbon hood)

I used to be very careful with my truck and get upset at the slightest scratch or dent.... Take your truck off-road and use it for what it was intended for.. Your will learn not to worry about these things...

NOTE: I do understand that it sucks when someone else causes damage to your rig other then you.. Good luck on catching the person...

Hey Dexter, I see that you aren't too far from me at school. Too bad you're a griz though.

Noone screws with my ride....

Get legal action taken first. When the whores end up in jail for the night they'll think twice about screwing with you or your rig.

If they continue and the law fails well there would be some serious tire slashing and keying and door bending in their future... While you are at it make sure you publically humiliate them and make them cry in public. Then you could start the psychological warfare too in a subtle manner to make their lives hell....

The *67 then their number at odd times and just saying, "you are a jackass" also works well to relieve stress...lol


However I do not condone nor encourage vigilanteeism....so proceed at your own risk...

Nice truck but are you really going to put 22" wheels on it? If so,you're gonna lose power,put undo stress on your suspension and wear out parts faster,compromise handling and cave into a dumb fad IMO and you're gonna put them on a 4wd Runner? I guess you got $$$ to burn.

Sorry,oversize wheels on a SUV is pretentious and is getting played out but I admit I'm curious to see how it looks but...

Rule #1: If you care about your rig, never live anywhere w/o a garage.
Rule #2: If you have some excuse why you can't afford a garage ignore rule #1 and live with it.

Sorry about the egg on your face, but women don't fight to get even, they fight to win!
