my lucky day Options

[azian_advanced]

so i just wanted to share the news my car was vandalized last night at work..
i left my car in the lot after my shift and went with my friends to see some rippers. came back 2 hours later around 1:30am and i find this..

btw, these are pics i took this afternoon.









they tried prying off my driver side door handle and the plastic trimming around the quarter panel window to the driver window to get in but isn't too damaged..
the handle is now buzzing when i put the bass up.
they probably realized i had a stock deck so they didn't bother getting inside. instead the saw my back pack in the back seat, smashed the pass window and took it. they finished it off by keying it afterwards.... f**ing idiots!

[eggman40]

F***!!!!!!!!! Man that is so irritating!!! I cant believe people would be willing to do that crap to people's cars... Its bad enought to break in to someones car, but to vandalize it on top of that?!!! Man! F***ing cowards!!

Sorry for what happend man, i know what thats like, its the worse feeling. I hope you get back on your feet soon!

[MaskedMan]

aww oh no! , im sorry to hear what happened. they are loserpants for breaking into you car and then vandalizing it

[brianforster]

on the plus side atleast they didnt damage your non oem parts like the jdm tails and gt4 front..

[CelicaGT04]

atleast your hood is okk.. there is always something good about the worst situations.

[j0e_p3t]

f-in sobs. that sucks. and you just finished your gt-four conversion not long ago too. at least those parts weren't damaged. i'd kill those guys.... very slowly.

[laff09]

atleast your hood is okk.. there is always something good about the worst situations.

only when you find em

[WH95TE]

karma will hit. trust me.

and sorry to hear about your car. damn people!

[azian_advanced]

well, i just made a police report at the station.. the officer asked all the usual stuff like what got damaged, what got stolen, the value of the items stolen, etc etc.. then the officer records it on his pc then writes me up a police record number.. just like that.

and he didn't even bother going outside to see the damages???!! we've got lazy cops over here.. oh whatever, i got my claim number which is all i need for now..
this week i'll be heading to my insurance company and see what's gonna happen.

btw, i just found a crack on my windshield on the upper side!!! what the heck - just another damage to fix anyway
i was surprised the other cars next to mine didn't get vandalized one bit!! they must've been some celica haters!

[Batman722]

I am so sorry AA, keep your head up guy

[coldbluesteel]

Did I hear someone say new paint job at the insurance company cost? $98 for a new window, I checked a couple weeks ago for mine. Good luck with the restore. Oh yeah... Haters are lame!

[hitcachi]

Oh my god. That is terrible. I've been vandilized before and it just brings you down like crazy. Keep your head up just like batman said and remember, it always gets worse before it gets alot better.

[Jaws4God]

so sorry man... so much money now to fix that..

[slvr_celica_GT_8...]

sorry to hear that there just jelious cuz u have a sweet car

[elvasoshexai]

what were those white streaks on the hood/bumper? just water? or did they totally screw those up too?

but damn that really sux...

i'm probably sinking to their level for this.. but it's people like these that deserve to get shot.

[airfron]

i know how you feel man and and
sorry to hear that happened to your baby
they are just jealous of your Celi's hotness

everytime something happens to my car these lines from Pulp Fiction come to mind

"They should be f****** killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.
Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that a**hole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.
What's more chickens*** than f****** with a man's automobile? I mean, don't f*** with another man's vehicle.
You don't do it. It's just against the rules."

[115celi]

I know how you feel. My car was vandalized last year, they keyed it from top to bottom, smashed intercooler and piping with a sledge hammer, slashed all my tires and stole my whole system.

karma will hit. trust me.

That is exactly what happened, he totaled his car racing it and broke his arm.

Same here, they had his prints and shoe impressions and didn't arrest him, they said they were building their case. a bunch of bs if you ask me.

sorry to hear that this happened, hope everything works out.

[devilsden97]

ok ok im sooo fed up with people. y do they feel the need to do **** like this? is it cool? JESUS ****ING CHRIST! y cant people just leave **** that doesnt belong to them alone? dude im sorry to hear about your car, that really sucks.

karma will hit. trust me.

and in reply to this^

Karmas a bitch. Trust me, they'll get theres.

[My2Celi]

Hey man i feel your pain... If you need those quarter panel windows. I can get you those, cuz theres a celica that is about to get thrown in the junkyard. Just tell me how the hell you get them windows out. i try kicking it and prying it and it doesnt wana come out. But yea my car got broken in around april and they stole my deck, pry my door handle out, and do watever the hell they can to take it out. just let me know if u need anything.

[chacha]

**** DUDE...DAMN THOSE BASTARDS....Im sorry about that and for actually using the F* word....i have never been so pissed off in a long time, and this isn't for me either!! Im really sorry bro, i hope those a$$ burn in hell for this. Lucky they didn't do anything to your GT4 parts...banned me if you feel i have violated the policy on this forum...sorry if i offened anyone with the foul profanity.

[malecrod]

Sorry about that man. I can't believe there are people like this. try investing in an alarm if you don't have one already, it would not stop them but will draw some attention to them and reduce the amount of damage.
Sorry once again.

[azian_advanced]

Sorry once again.

i bought an alarm complete with install for $600 last year (it was the best model then). they said they'd hold the unit for upto a year until i get my car fixed (i bought my car salvaged at the time). when i got the car repaired and registered, i called them back but they had already closed down. i still have my receipt and their dumb 1-800 customer service can't do $h*et.. i contacted the area manager of the head office and he doesn't reply to my e-mails. what should i do?

[Bitter]

contact a lawyer and take em to court or atleast threaten to and start the ball rolling.

[Akira_g4]

Damn man sorry to hear that the gt-four conversion looks pretty tight too. but yea just a bunch of celi haters i'd say. have any idea the cost of all the damage?

[chacha]

keep all records and info of times you contact the company regarding your alarm... if you planned to go and hire a lawyer.

[malpaso]

I just dont understand how someone should do something like this... but I can imagine how you feel.

Try sending them a letter with some legal terms in it and also include a copy of the receipt.. maybe that might work. I don't know about getting a lawyer though, it would definitely work but it all depends on how much its gonna cost when all is said and done.
But if you have to buy an alarm again, try getting it from a franchise ...something like best buy, circiut city etc so if something goes wrong or you move you, rest assured you will be able to them.
Yeah similar thing happened to me few years ago, I had a problem with my alarm going off while driving and would not arm or disarm, I was in school in another state, when I finally went back to my home state to get it fixed, there was a cellphone store sitting in place . store closed down can't locate them. So I just went home and yanked it out of the car .

[Culpable04]

get an state lawyer, they don't charge you.

[sinner96ST]

thats bull**** man, i hope you get your car fixed.

despite whatever someone does to me, i will never, ever, **** with someones car. it's just not right.

[Lotus]

Ill quote from a famous move, a quote that is true down to the bone...

"Its even worth them doing it, if only i could catch them when they do"

[Rayme]

Man, this sucks! You just got your stuff painted and had a verrry nice looking car…
****, I hate those kids…you make a good point of having an alarm, they might have run away after smashing the window and not keyed the car…

my sympathies

[ExSane]

Man, when you find out who did it, get all your boys to jump their asses! And when we jump, we don't play jump! We stomp till all your bones BREAK! I swear, if someone did that to my car, I'mm go raise hell! ESP WHEN I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE IN MY TOWN! I wouldn't let NOBODY escape my WRATH! HELL NO!

[Tech9ine]

that sucks dude, i think there is some celi haters in this town, cause my car got ****ed around this time last year. I'm really sorry it happened so soon after your conversion too, god damn vandalism.

[azian_advanced]

UPDATE:

finally got my car sent in for repairs... all the body shops were on a 4 week waiting period due to a hail storm that occured just outside the city so it seems like everybody's getting their cars fixed.
anyway, now it's in and the courtesy car i'm driving now is a 2000 cavalier. it's pretty ghetto imo. compared to the celi, it feels rough as if you're driving on gravel (i'm guessing it's the tires) and you feel everything from the floor pan, needs alignment, front wiper arms are rusted (pretty annoying to look at), absolutely no power (both in luxury features and in the engine) and i get back pains due to the forward curve of the seats near the upper shoulders. i guess it's expected since the car has more kms than mine. ehhhh, i'll just have to put up with it.

the estimated cost of repairs was $2,700 Cdn and many parts needed to be replaced. although, i'll surely be posting pics when i get it back. i just hope they do a good job and don't take my car on a joy-ride around town.. damn, i shoulda resetted the trip meter.
