Betty got Beaten

Well, Betty got into her first bar fight in the sault last night... and well they cheated and used a weapon...

She put up a fight, and wouldn't let them take anything from her, but she is minus 2 windows... the rt rear, and the rear window...

Her tint held the window together, but there is still glass everywhere, even on the roof somehow...

It was a fair sized rock, I am proud of her for standing up the bullies that are out there. Now she just needs a visit the optomotrist, and hopefully, it will be covered by OHIP. (Ontario Health Insurance Program)

Pics to follow when I return home and can upload them.

NOT cool, but I suppose it happens. Good to hear it sounds like Betty will make it out OK, no major surgeries needed .

That sucks, I would imagine you will not hang at that local bar/hall/neighborhood. Hope you get fixed soon. Good luck.

THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!

Your MINI was one of the most memorable ones we saw at MOTD this year(we were in a Hot Orange Cabrio and talked to you for a while at the overlook after the Midnight Run) and we hate to hear about this. Hopefully Betty's recovery will be quick and painless-for both of you.

Hey Xiek sorry to hear about your car. There are some crazy ba5tard5 out there

I hope it's fixed as good as new very quickly.

Did I see you in Mooney's Bay Ottawa a couple of weeks ago??

you quite possibly did.. I get out to the capital a lot.. got some friends out there... I waved at one MINI I saw, but didn't get a wave back, and then pulled up beside one, and didn't get a wave either.

Glad you can keep a sense of humor.

That just plain sucks. :impatient I guess you'll have to replace some of your decals, and of course the broken windows, but it could've been worse. I'm sorry for you. I hope Betty is fixed up soon.

Ya, well I'd just hurt something getting all bent out of shape over it right...

good thing it was the side window with not so many decals on it.. that random dragon tagging one would have been hard to replace... :P and i like it..

O.K. I saw your car parked when I passed by a couple of times. Tough one to miss, looks really cool.

Trust me I would have waved, but Ottawa is a bit "wave shy". Must be all them swivel servants

Cheers.

Midland is too... must be all those swivel servants at their cottages...

we have 9 minis in town, and no one waves...

perhaps next time I am out, u can show me a good road out that way.

It is terrible how some people lack any sense of respect for others. I am sorry that this happened to you.

With you being out of town it must have been a complete stranger to do it. That makes it even more unbelievable.
