What's your deductible?? If it is let's say around $500, the you're on your own up to $500.

i have driven with some of my friends who dont have hooked up cars and dont like them and they always threaten to do these things when they see the altezza lights, neons under the car, or those washer lights... people really dont like to look at those and they get angry..

as far as insurance goes, good luck.. you'd be better off throwing about 15 more bottles at your own car and causing some body damage so that you could report some real damage and come away with a new paint job or something..

What nationality are you and your friends? Could it also be racially motivated?


In any case, sorry to hear that. I understand that in the rush, you couldn't/didn't get the license plate. I mean, what if they pull out guns or something, right?

I tried to tell you all! You should have bought my car machine-gun kit when you had the chance! No one would mess with you if you had a 50 cal. mounted on your roof! It's too late, now, though. I sold all that I had in stock. I may get some in later, but it's doubtful. Perhaps I could interest someone in a rocket launcher? I'm running a group deal for 3rd gens!

If that's the case, maybe it's not racially motivated. Maybe they got high/drunk and just looking to cause some trouble. I highly doubt you guys were the only one, maybe they did the same thing to many others.

do you have uninsured motorist? if you do then you can probably just say it was damanged in a parking lot and get the insurance co to pay. my gf has something in her policy where she's not liable for damages upto 2,500 for items done when the car is left unattended.

I don't think it's race-related. It may be due to the fact that your car has a lot of attention-getting type of stuff like the washers etc.

My brother said this dude with a 2k2 Maxima nearly wrecked with him, his girlfriend, and the drivers' girlfriend. They were going to a wedding in BK, NY. As my brother described it this dude has every conceivable flashing blue light on the washers, mirrors, rear backups, rear satellite antenna, 19" rims, so on and so forth. He told me a couple of times cars just pulled up alongside and made nasty comments. A new S4 or M3 gets attention too, but in a different way. I think you're right to put the old stuff back on.

What those people did was wrong but I wouldn't read too much into what idiots do. If it takes removing some of the flashy stuff to rid your life of those a********, then I think it'd be a wise trade-off.

Good idea to have is keep a camera in your car. Since it is so cheap, I keep one around my car. When someone does something that endangers me, I just take shot. Report to police with the photo. Most of people back off from whatever they were planning to do when they see the flash. It is also good in case you get into an accident. (primary reason i keep one in car... but used for different things now).
