Re: Great Day Today....... until

Often, I've found, the people who destroy other people's property like this are of the mind "if I can't have it, you can't either". Sick is what it is! If these types would go out and get a real job, they too might enjoy nice things like a Corvette. Unfortunately they prefer to remain jobless, receive government subsidy at taxpayers' expense and raise havoc with the property of others whom they feel are their oppressors or something. What a shame! Oh yes, I hear the cries of the do-gooders. "We need to feel sorry for these poor people because they cannot find jobs." That's nonsense! There's work out there for everyone who wants to work. It may not be in the job of choice, but there is employment for everyone. I see signs everywhere that say "hiring", but employers tell me there are few takers. I guess it's just a lot easier to accept welfare and steal from others in more than one way. Sorry for the rant and I'm really sorry for your loss Jerry. |

Re: Great Day Today....... until
Thanks all, for the nice words. I can't imagine the rage this guy had/has, but his troubles are continuing. Felony offense.
I have never obtained a C/C permit even though I do have a suitable armory. Would not have helped in this case because not allowed to carry inside & would have had to leave it in the car. Didn't want valet to park, so parked out aways, in only 1 space to not lure the haters. Just makes me sick. I know the paint will be damaged from all the glass. Oh well, there are still things to be thankful for..... like glad we didn't come out at the time it was happening, 67 yrs old, no gun and him with a ball bat and all that rage.

No words (at least repeatable) to express my feelings. I hope the perp is caught, prosecuted, and punished.

Re: Great Day Today....... until
Jerry (just trying to find a bright side), hopefully soon it will be all better, good as new, and you'll have another story with the car. Stories are what make these cars special to us.

Re: Great Day Today....... until
That REALLY does suck, but in thinking about it.. be thankful it is just glass and not a hit a run where the car is destroyed.. Also be thankful you and your wife were not in the car when it happened..
Hopefully there will not be too much paint damage from the glass but with new glass, Navigation and mirror the car will drive like it did before

Re: Great Day Today....... until
Sorry to see that Jerry.
Beautiful looking car. ( At least it used to be) On the bright side, it wasn't the ZR-1 damaged.
