I posted this on my club site. So bare with me on the story, it was originally written for a more localized group.
---------------------------------
Some of you have helped me work on the car over the winter. Those that have, thanks. If it was warm enough for the garage to be open, or we were unloading something odds are you heard a very loud and annoying F-body go in or out of the townhouses. It looks a LOT like Jimmy's car. It's black and sounds just as bad too.
I've had an on going "situation" with this person. If he can see the Mustang he revs the hell out of his car, and/or drops the hammer like a bat out of hell. When you can hear the car from 2 blocks away. He's hard to miss, even with your head buried in the car wrenchin away. I've been waiting to say something to the guy until I got my car back on the road. :wink:
Last night, I was talking to Carrie on my cell. We BOTH hear the f-body coming. (Yes, it's that loud) All the sudden I see a YELLOW f-body come up the road. I tell Carrie he must have a new friend.... then I look closer. Wait, no.... WTF?
It appears he spray painted the car yellow! There's over spray on the wheels, tires, windows, exhaust, you name it, it's yellow. You can see razor blade marks on the rear window trying to get the paint off. Okay... interesting.
He hauls arse leaving and puts on a little show, like always. Soon, we hear him again coming back to the townhouses. He rounds the corner.... and punches it. The arse end gets sideways, he makes a lot of racket. I make a comment about how he's all over the road. He just... gets out of my vision around the building and I go back to my phone call. Then WHAM! Carrie yells, "What was that?" I go sprinting around the building
Here's what I see:
The Probe was parked on the side of the road. Apparently it's been abandoned. It's been there a while. The T/A knocked the Probe back 8 feet or so, then spun it around.
There was a couple that witnessed the whole incident. They were turning in behind the T/A. So luckily they didn't take my name. The guy obviously knows who I am. And that we park one or two of our cars outside. I don't need any MORE problems than I already have. :x
The story about the car sticking in third and that he came to almost a complete stop before hitting the car made the witness laugh out loud. The police officer said," How about we try this story ONE more time. I can see the black marks in the road and the skid marks up here over the curb."
