Stay on the road

[jigga89SEi]

I'm so pissed off. I've had my car for few months now and probly have anly driven it for a week total. When I first got it I couldn't drive it for a month because I was waiting on plates from my home state. After I finally got tired of waiting I broke down and got Virginia plates. So I got to drive it for about a week. Then I had radiator problems and that cost me a grip. After waiting 2 more weeks because they ordered the wrong parts I got it on the road again. After a few more days my state inspection sticker expired so I had to get and inspection done. It failed because the my window regulator was messed up and the window needed assistance going up and down. So after waiting for that part to get here and putting it in, which took about a week and a half before I got the part. I took it in yesterday and passed the inspection and went home . I was in my home for about 3 hours I came back out and both of my front tires where slashed. I swear someone or something does not want me driving. I don't have the money for the tires now cause yesterday I ordered my intake and exhaust.

sorry dude, Thats low for someone to slash your tires unless u been a bad boy lately. Anywho. thats a lof ot shit to go thru with the inspection and licence tags. Do you have a garage that u can park your car in? I wish i would have a garage, its one safe place from the harhness outside.

Nope no known enemies. Nobody has a reason to be mad at me as far as I know. My mom asked if it was any females but I don't think so.

I live on a military base there is no garage around for me to use but I think I'm going to be moving shortly so hopefully I can get a place with a garage.

Damn that sucks dude. I didn't have any enemies either and someone keyed my whole driverside of the car and some on the hood. Hope owning a 3G treats you better in the future.

Don't get me wrong I love my 3g. I just hate vandals who do the sh*t for no reason.

umm... if the car is on fire... and the door wont open... you cant unroll the window... and smashing a window with your bare hand isnt the best...

that sucks man, don't they have pritty tight security in military bases now? oh well, did anyone else in the area have thier tires slashed? we had a incident a few years ago where kids road around w/ BB guns and shot holes in peeps windows. oh yeah, i don't like VA inspections too, i got a ticket 4 days after mine expired and i had forgoten to get it checked out.

no no, it's my understanding that the window would open you just had to help it up.

ok wait.. if the car's on fire your power would probably be dead too so u wouldn't be able to roll them down anyway.

whatever who cares, i'm just sayin that the law is stupid

[jigga89SEi]

I appreciate everyone's support. The window motor wasn't bad but the regulator had ground down some of the teeth in the middle. So you had to pull it up or push it down until the teeth lined up again.

YES VIRGINIA sux. I hate this Commonwealth. I hate the laws and vehicle laws are even worse. I tried to get plates from home but it took to damn long.

I got 2 new tires last night $133. But I'm back on the road now. Lets see how long this lasts.

They check power windows for function to pass inspection? WTF? What does that have to do with how roadworthy the car is?

[smufguy]

does the tire puncture sealer work for slashes? i always wondered if it was possile

that's what i said man

[jigga89SEi]

To be honest I don't know if the sealant works or not. I didn't use it, it definately wouldn't have worked on my tires they had like 2 inch gashes in each tire.

Last weekend we went drove from VA to Lousianna in a Galant, It has afew mods but nothing special it's still slow. Anywayz less then 80 miles from home the tire goes flat. So we tired using that sealant stuff and it didn't even work for a little nail hole. Needless to say we drove all the way to Louisianna on a 70 mile tire (donut) it took us 21 hrs. We got there got the tire fixed and it only took 16 hrs to get home. But we were doing 95 average.

[smufguy]

the sealent goes in before u fill the tire with air if i am not mistaken or u add it in to a partially filled air. THats the reason i always have a full spare in my trunk. NO bullshit donut and having my fingers crossed once i hit 60mph. Even though it looks bumpy in the back, i always keep a full size spare.

[jigga89SEi]

Yeah I'm going to start keeping a tire in my trunk....Fullsize no more spare BS.
