Default The curse got me too!!

Tonite when i went to dinner with a buddy of mines, I parked my car normally in the parking lot outside the restaurant. After we were done with dinner we decided to leavea and walked towards my car, but i notice something very dusty on my rear winshield. I was sure it wasnt there when i got there because i just got a car wash 2 hours before i got to the restaurant, so i got close to the back of my car and i see gravel dust laying all around my rear winshield and a couple of rocks size of a quater laying on top of the trunk. I immediately wipe off all the gravel dust off my rear winshield, after all da dust of the gravel was taken off, i use my fingertip to feel the winshield to see if its crack or anything. Luckily it did not break my windshield, but it make a good size crack. I hope water wont get in. I swear there's alot of haters out there. See the way the rock impacted to the windshield, i think someone did it on purpose. Nowadays i'm gonna be super carefull where i go. I'm thinking of changing my license plate and get da regular numbers instead of having customize plates. That way is harder to recognize my car.

sorry to hear that bro...you do know in our area there are TONS of haters.. ..personal plate is cool and unique, but often they draw too much attention, often unwanted..and if you upset soemone, he/she who knows your car will remember by plate..on top of that, we mod and personalize our nice cars, so i usually try to stay low key..

My customize license plate is simple. "TOMSGS3" I dont think it will cause any hatred. Not like i'm insulting anyone with it.. Just more personalize to me.. Meaning Tommy's GS 300.

Will: i agree with you.. i'm heading down to DMV very soon to get new plates. I'm so glad they didnt keyed my car and also they didnt slash my tires either. Anyways i'm not going back to that restaurant driving my car. If i do go back, i'll either carpool or drive my beater '90 es250.

I hope i can claim my insurance co. But the damage isnt dat big. I found the correct word to describe the damage.. Instead of a scratch.. Its a chip.. You know how u get a chipped on the paint like a dent. I hope water wont get inside.

Ray: i was eating in Monterey park at a cafe.. Corner of atlantic blvd and garvey.

Damn! Sorry to hear that Tommy.. That really sucks. I don't think you should change your plate, its not like it showing off. For example having a plate like 1GS2NV ( 1 gs to envy) would cause problems.

all personal plates have problems. i dont like to admit it now but i used to be one of those dumb *** kid. i fell bad for what i did and now i know the diff. but i just draws mo attention to u and your car. not to metion if u speed thru traffic it much easrer to remeber your plate at a glance then the normal one

ouch!! i know what the feeling is like. something of the same nature happened to me too, luckily not my gs but my previous 99 H22 turbo accord. someone threw a rock about 6in in diameter, shattered my windshield, cracked my CF hood, dented the top of my head liner, cracked my spoiler and trunk, stuffed a banana in my exhaust and keyed it. and this was like only 6 months after i moved to sac area from the bay and i did not know anyone around here at that time. DAMN!!! i hate sac area, so much haters!!! get a life!!! Knock on wood, i would be locked up in jail if this happen to my GS and i knew who it was.
