Rear window got shot up

[stupenal]

Hey guys-

Sad news to report - I parked my car on the streets near UCLA since I left my parking permit at home like a retard. I come back 2 days later to go to work and find that there's a bullet hole in the back window, shattering the entire thing. THis comes the day before my track event and so I ended up forking $220 to get it fixed that day. And theres still pieces of glass in my car!!!!

So word of advice - be careful where you park your car!!! Especially in LA!





This car is becoming a money pit.

Shoot, that sucks - I thought Brentwood was a pretty good area too. Couldn't find a good used one at Pick-Your-Part in Wilmington?

Stup, I don't mean to be unsympathetic, but what are you thinkin leaving that car unattended on a city street for 2 days? I know your not drivin around Lynwood & Watts, but come on, it's a frickin bimmer, you gotta expect someone to f*** with it in that urban jungle. What did Vincent Vega say in Pulp Fiction, ....

"I had it outta storage for 2 days & some d***less piece of s*** f***ed with it.

The question is, would it have been worth them doin it, if you woulda caught em doin it? Gagage kept for all you youngsters at home, ..........garage kept.

Uhh, garages are expensive here in LA...

I very much belive in the idea that you dont mess with another man's wheels. Against the rules.

Even if some guy messed with my sister and stole from me, I STILL wouldnt mess with his car.

the only explanation i can gather is that someone meant to shoot at the frat house and missed and hit my car. if you look at the bullet - it barely barely nicks the edge moulding and looks as if it came from the side, not directly from the back. if they wanted to shoot my window from the back, i think they would've placed it straight in the middle. I'm just happy it hit the window and not the body.

And your body too. Used windows are common - any junk yard should have one?

Where did the bullet go after the window?

i have no clue, I was too pissed to really care to look. And since the track day was the day after, and when i found this it was already noon and I still had to get to work, I had to find a place REAL quick and REAL soon. So I didnt really even shop around, I just called several places and drove out to get it fixed asap.
