Blubelle Shot

Now it's my turn to grieve over what some a**hole's done to my car. Yesterday, I took the long way home through some different neighborhoods and when I get back in my driveway, I notice that my rear quarter panel had a small dimple and paint chip, the work of a marksman with a bb-gun or pellet gun.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a car carrying member of the NRA, and I defend our right to defend property, but not damage another's property, with force if necessary. But this is just (words escape me).

Let's just say that one day if I become a judge, no little sh*t had ever be placed before me for committing a crime involving a pellet gun, he just might get 30 days...











in the electric chair.

Sorry to hear about your car. I know how you feel because I had some kids shoot my car as I was driving by a patch of woods near my house. I slammed on the brakes and backed up, thank goodness there was no cars coming, and got out of the car screaming . I didn't catch them, but I'll bet they wet their pants when I got out of the car and came after them. Some kids obviously have nothing better to do. I hope it doesn't cost you too much to fix.

Sorry to hear that...probably just a blonde kid with glasses and his new Red Ryder BB gun...set him down in that chair, but use just enough juice to singe his eyebrows...

Good luck with the fix.

This is a reflection of the sad state of affairs with our kids today. It happens even in England. Follow the MINI2 forum and you'll read aggravating tales of vandalism and theft of MINIs.
