rant mode

i've never had anybody fuck with my car. ever. probably because i don't drive it much or leave it places. well i've got it in omaha this week so I can hit the track in Iowa over the weekend. i just went outside to show one of my co-workers here and as he was checking out my brakes, he's like, why are you valve stem caps missing. they were there the other day when i checked tire pressure before leaving town. sure as shit, these kids on bikes were asking me all kinds of questions about my car yesterday in the parking lot. it crossed my mind, but they were like ten, and i'm in the middle of O M A H A ... well i'm almost sure it was them ...

:angry:

thanks for letting me blow off some steam, i'm about to drive back to that grocery store and run over some little kids. adam, keep the tab going on my therapy, i'll send it to you someday.

oh, and the caps matched the fucking rivets on the rims, how the hell do i find the same ones again?

 

if they took it they prob put it on their bikes... so steal it back from them.

 

that's not as bad as getting keyed or something, but getting your car fucked with no matter what is done pisses me off.

 

goto SpinCaps.com

they are nice caps they wont get stolen

 

Hahahaha... consider yourself a lucky man if the only thing you have to bitch about (concerning car vandals) is missing valve stem caps.

 

ugh, shitty

 

Same shit happened to me like 5 times in 3 months....I ordered the spincaps - Now they dont disappear!

 

haha tht sucks but i thought you were going to say something serious happened like getting keyed or something...just head to the local pep boys and get 2 sets just in case anyone does that again.

 

i know how ya feel man, one time someone stole ONE valve stem off of my chrome rims...i had to buy a new set....it pissed me off, that was 98 cents that coulda been well spent elsewhere

 

Sux man, like others said, good thing you didn't get keyed.

 

I know how you feel. Damn kids.

 

unfortunately, in this scenario, its the principle more so than the cost involved that hurts so much

 

WTF were you doing in O M A H A ???

 

Don't be surprised. Omaha is big enough to have [hardened] criminals, too. Not a bad as Minneapolis but.....

 

OMAHA = BAD

 

Who steals valve caps?!?!
WTF is wrong with people? I never stole valve caps when I was a kid.

 

I think almost everyone has stolen some chromies and put them on their bike when they were a kid. Or maybe that was just me. :P

 

Dude, you're lucky. Vandalism has costy me THOUSANDS! I'm positive there are more fuck heads in Massachusetts than in the middle of the country.

 

Actually, you would be surprised. The crime rate is higher here than it is in Minneapolis, especially property crime. Omaha is higher than the national average for property crime.

i've never seen a pic of ur car. post it mofo.

 

you arent alone on that one....had to be ridin on chrome

 

Does anyone have any of those spin caps?

 

Yes. I bought two sets. One with the Delrin inner part, and one all aluminum.

Works as advertised.

 

Yeah I know, probably. It was just a hit on Fotis cause I know he lives in Mpls and he's so sensitive to crime in his city. It's not really that all that bad in Mpls, it's just that crime went from nearly non-existant in the early 90s to bad. I lived there for over 10 years and I had my car window busted out at least 4 times or every other year. And I always lived in the suburbs.
