Not C1/C2 but a warning...
 
I've parked my 63 in front of Ben's Paint Supply in Kissimmee, FL several times....
I swear you have to be prepared for anything now:

An hour from me and the city where the regional NCRS event is held each winter...

Lots of nuts out there.
Keep your head on a swivel.

Thanks Frankie for reminding us!

Oh I"M sure they were nice young men. They were probably just looking for directions to the liquor store:pistols:

Robert61 07-12-2019 09:58 AM

I just saw on the news where 2 nice young men pulled up to a guy filling his car at the pump. They pepper sprayed him and stole his car. Just one more area to be wary.

The good news with most of our cars is that your average young thief don't know how to drive them. I'm a half glass full type of guy. Jerry

They should just wait... with entitlement.. I think everyone get's a free government issued Corvette right? lol.. So many creeps in this world today..

reno stallion 07-12-2019 10:16 AM

I would bet if the law would allow you to shoot a car jacker dead they would stop doing it. Before any of you bleeding hearts say anything I know I know that's just not right. Just saying nothing else seems to be working:rock:

Incredible. Broad daylight, in traffic, AK-47's. Thanks for reminding us to stay on our toes when driving our toys. One more thing to pay attention too besides people on their phones. :pistols:

CCW whenever you can.

They're doubly stupid to pull this crap in the province of Sheriff Grady Judd....
This man doesn't play games....

Here's his response when asked why a cop-slayer was killed during apprehension in his jurisdiction a few years back:

Asked why they shot the guy 68 times, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel … get this.That’s all the bullets we had.

Gotta love the guy...

Carjacking
 
I wonder what prevented them from actually taking the car.

C2Scho 07-12-2019 11:13 AM

After they got a good look inside the corvette they saw that it was not an automatic but a stick. Realizing that neither of them could drive a stick, they had to abandon their attempt to steal it.

I’m pretty sure if you’re in your car minding your own business and two guys flashing AK’s come to your car and threaten you, you would be within the law to draw your weapon.

I’m also pretty sure it may be the last thing you do on this earth.

Probably not the best idea here in Shitcago. Some vette owners don't take too kindly to having their ride boosted:
Wrong Victim

RatDog 07-12-2019 11:47 AM

Wait! Really? That’s a justified shooting?

There must be more to the story.

In a city that has 1,361 shot so far this year, 240 fatally, 69 wounded and 7 killed over the Fourth of July weekend, ..... justified smushtified, this is Shitcago! Where armed repeat felons are repeatedly released on personal recognizance.

If I'm packing I'm going down in flames brother and I'm taking someone with me. Stealing dose not fly with me never has:pistols:

Must be something about Corvettes in Florida; maybe they were trying to steal it so they could change the paint colour and Trim Tag and re-sell it in California : :yesnod:

You have been complaining a lot about the area you live in or frequent lately. Have you ever thought about moving?

The price one must pay for living in the land of sunshine. Lots of benefits, but an awful lot of downside which seems to be growing each year.
