4th of July "basher" - freaking *itch!!!
Dude, what the hell...all 4 tires slashed - only suspect is a "white prelude"; oddly enough, the same car that hit me a couple of days ago. Long story short, I tried to be flexible to help this kid's mom out, but then out of no where, she started giving me CRAP. Everyone was getting fed up, so we reported it with their insurance company...

I hope you called the police and made a report. And no....don't take it into your own hands. Let the law and insurance take care of your unfortunate situation.
Sorry to see this happen to your baby.

I'm surprised they slashed your tires, its a testament to some of the poor moral fiber or lack there of, that people have these days. Honestly they're giving you crap because they hit you?

damn eric.. looking at these pictures make things worse... AHHH... how long ago were you hit? not that long ago, and i bet you since a few days ago you went to the insurance, they got pissed, and wanted you to get pissed. only way that they could have done this was actually know where you park your car and live. good luck on trying to get the car fixed up. and atleast i tried to help today =)
and and and, just about 2 days ago the car was completely clean until now... if you want to go bitch them out, im with you... =)

Sorry to hear about your situation. I guess air is a lot easier to fix than paint being scratched. There's always a bright side to everything. I hope it was just air being let out rather than the tires being slashed.

It's just tires. Could have been worse. Report it and let the people who get paid to handle it, sort it out. All you can do is cause more trouble, possibly to/for yourself going into "revenge" mode.

from all bad comes something good. just move on,claim it on your insurance as vandalism and say you have a witness that saw the white lude. its a believable story and im sure no questions will be asked. oh...and get tires that look like that with air, looks pretty f'in sick! LOL

hey at least you had an "eye witness" and waited until you came out... but did he actually come up to you and tell you that people from a white prelude slashed your tires?

Damn bro that sucks ass!! I hate it when people feel the need to fuck with other people's car and this isn't the first time for you too. Looks like you need your own garage, sorry man!

erick,
First, I'm VERY sorry to hear about your TL. Second, I've never been one to back down. If you know where this guy lives or where he keeps his car, leave HIM a note. Just say, "I know where you live-I'm watching you."

dont do that... If you do watch him dont let him know about it. Not sure what advise to give you on this one man. Emotions will tell you
to bash his face in, but are you that type of guy? Theres always going
to be a bastard that does sh#t like this to piss people off. Its a matter
of how you handle it. Wait to see if it continues then do what you think
is appropriate.

ADVANCE.
Bro you need to go slash his tires. Simple solution, eye for an eye = 4tires for 4tires... Or if you wanna get down to it. Knock on his door and drag his ass out and beat him down. J/K, that ain't gonna do you any good. He's a hater...
But if it was me, file a report and say someone wrote down his plates and gave it to you. See what happens. Sux to hear about this. True what goes around comes around..... PEACE!

if you have some great tires thats like 800 bucks, down the drain. I would sue, and or take the law into my own hands.
The latter is a fib, I would let the law take care of this.
