>>Still Another Idiot Story:
>>
>>Attended a MINI meet on 3/28/04 [my birthday, actually]. In the watershed area of upstate NY, we're at a rest stop on top of a dam. A genius ["04Supercharged"] decides to start hitting golf ***** off the dam; one slices and hits my hood, causing a small dent and damaging the left headlight trim ring. There were many witnesses. Genius is extremely apologetic and promises to pay for repairs. You saw this coming; he now says he won't pay a thing. If I go through Small Claims court, I'd have to travel to another county to get this guy and then take three days off; one to submit the claim, a second to attend the trial and a third for the inevitable appeal. Then, I'd have to pay a fee to the County Sheriff to obtain the funds. Such a Fine Specimen of a Man, this Genius, isn't he? Suggestions from the floor, please.......

I'm quite sure that a visit to this idiots home and some artwork with a key you don't care about is in order

You could go to your parts store, purchase a valve stem removal tool, drive on out to his house & remove all four valve stems from his tires......see, no damage.....but fulfilling

They lie, cheat, steal - and no one stops them. They're never brought to task for their violations. It gets me crazy.
I assure you - a guy like this is most likely a serial offender and his comeuppance is coming from someone not nearly so evolved as yourself.

I'd feel sorry for his wife, if he has one.

Chet.

I can't deal with people who can't control thier offspring. Seriously, folks -- take some freaking responsibility!!!

I give you credit, you held back much more than I could have. I would have likely snapped at the woman babbling over her idiot kid crapping all over my front seat! Ugh - just awful
