Default Car was vandalized ... in my own garage

Honestly, this car is becoming far more of a hassle than what it's worth to me. Someone spray painted "209" on my driver side door and it spills on to the rear quarter panel. Maybe they were pissed they couldn't steal it because it's blocked by another car? Who knows. But this is officially the straw the broke the camels back. After the Watkins Glen event, the car is hopefully going back to stock ASAP and I'm gonna sell/trade it in.

R-Speed members, check on our mailing list to see what parts I have for sale.

Sorry to hear what happened. Look at it this way...you now gave yourself a valid reason to upgrade.

Mind sending me the list of parts also?

Even if I did decide to move to a "nicer" area in NY, the car will never be a daily driver. Not that I need a daily driver in NYC but I can't see myself buying a beater and hiding a 25K car.

If anything, this car has opened up a lot of opportunities and I've met great people along the way. I'm quite grateful.

Hrmmm...

Good luck on your decisions, but I say hide the car else where because a short time after you sell your going to miss it badly.

Kyle= Many parts=

When I was younger and a lot ballsier there was a crew up-town that used to write "209th" up when they would go bombing. They were pretty dedicated to Graf though. They weren't a "gang" in the sense everyone thinks about, just a group of friends who would go out bombing together AFAIK.

Probably some dick heads trying to give you a car # to mock the fact that it's a race prepped car.

Wow I am sorry to hear about the present situation that you are facing right now. There is no limit that these thieves will not cross.

Can you also send me a parts list?

Truly soorry to hear about the vandalism Kyle.

My car(s) have sat outside in the appartment parking lot for several years, and other than the time someone broke the wing a few years back ... lately it's just been momen drivers wreaking havoc on it.
Sometimes I almost wish someone would just take it ... LOL!
