Default [RANT!] Vette got paintballed today :*****:

Was going to the beach today, im my gf's car... we forgot something and came back...and what did i see? my vette in the 10 min we were gone was paintballed!!! pink paint all over the side of the car and my rims!

luckily after washing it all off there were no dents, but still.... some retards just dont have ANY respect for something so beautiful

i washed it yesterday too, so it was blingin, maybe it was because some idiots were just too jellous...

Anybody know how the law views the use of force to protect personal property?

What would you do if you caught someone trashing your vette?

Really sorry to hear that your car got violated. It's a crime that this kind of crap goes on. I too had my car violated this week with an egg at 40 mph. Here's a pic of the damage.



I am glad yours cleaned up for you and there was no damage. It could have been the other way around. Have a good weekend and try and forget about it. I know I'll be trying to forget mine too.
