starion1991 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 So today, i decide to drive my starion to school. Runs great and everything, So a few of my frends ask about it since they saw it on my myspace page. its all cool and all. so go out at lunch to put some books away and show the new paint to my frend nate, hes a cool guy and will never mess with you. put books away and all that and head back to lunch. everything is fine at this point, go to my last class for the day after lunch and we have a fire drill, dident think much of it and came back. After school, my frend that always gets a ride from me comes along as ushual, we go, get around his house, on an empty road he wants to see what the starion dose, so i punch the pedal and spool up, shift to second then shift to third, as i shift into thrid i see my hood fly up and off the car. so i stop pull over and see what happend, i noticed my oil cap missing under my hood becaus i saw oil spots on my windshield after my hood flew off. go look at the hood across the street, its totaly bent up. So i came to the conclution that someone messed with my car today around lunch or after the fire drill. dont know who would mess with it, it was the first day of me driving it to school and im shure nobody knew that thats my car. have one guy in mind though, he claims i embarrised him in front of his "possie" and wont speak to me any more, we used to be good frends and he knows that i love my starions... what would you guys do, need advice. Im gonna talk to the school police tomarow but i doubt they will do anything. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreal Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Wow. That is crazy. Do you not lock your doors on your car? How could someone have enough time to open your door, pop the hood, and loosen all of the hood bolts? How did you not notice your hood was popped open? Like the other poster said, see if your school had cameras. Talk to your county/town police, not just your school police. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's seems like more than 1 person did that if you ask me... sounds like 2 people or more did it. Seriously I'd cap em... find em and repaint your car red with their blood. Red quests rule anyway. Thats just me though. Edited March 26, 2008 by Kenquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeless2B Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 dude you need to think real hard if it was your mistake or someone f*cked w/ your Starion. and when you get any idea of someone else messed with it, u beat his a**. that is bullsh*t and a BIG NO NO to mess w/ StarQuest. i smacked a kid for leaning against mine. so anything greater is a capital affence. i only say think about if you did it cause my friend didn't secure his hood latch pins and it smacked the car at 40mph.

Guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Man, that sucks big. In college I had someone leave me a nasty note on my car. Something about being a :biggrinumbrella1: for not calling someone back.... a week prior to this event, I was directly propositioned by this beautiful young lady I was in class with, kissed her once and never called her back cuz I figured out she wa nuts!! The hateful note on my car a week later proved me right. I'm sure your hunch is right. Its usually that one person you know you crossed the wrong or at least they believe you crossed them wrong. Get your car fixed, then park it far away from school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck641 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Nahh, I think if i would have left em on it would have smashed into the windshield, thank god i dident! Why the hell are you driving around without your hood bolted down? you are lucky your hood is the only thing damaged. It could have flown off and hit someone or someones car.

Komeuppance Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Shiny paint... get an alarm... with an annoying blinking LED. It'll stop most people. Should get locking hood pins. I'd never trust it with out em. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
