First off it wouldn't stop raining yesterday and we missed out on JDM day. Then last night someone broke into the truck at the hotel we were at They punched the passenger side lock, broke the dome light, stole the Alpine HU and JL amps, and damaged some dash pieces.

Oh ya, your roads suck too..

 

I can completely sympathize with. I know this year has not been a great Lightning year for you with so many set-backs with trying to add power.

Having this happen must have been the icing on the cake. Hope you make it home safe but what a boring ride with no radio now.

 

note to self... stay out of new jersey.

 

Mark where were you guys staying???

 

A Sheraton near Woodbridge. Around 9 and the Turnpike.

 

Wow, I hate to hear that Mark.

 

ahh yes one of the many ***** hole ghetto towns we have in our lovely garden state... be happy that they didnt try to take the truck and you were able to make it back home safe.. by the way, how do you like the new engine and suspension??

 

Sorry to hear about the setback. This should have been a great trip for you, now you leave with a bad taste of this area.
I hope the damage is minimal and best of luck with your new combo.
Jim

 

Man that sucks

Maybee someone here as some spare dash parts to replace you damged ones.

And yes Jersey roads suck

 

Since I have to make an insurance claim, I'm just going to make them get me all new. They damged the A/C controls - looks like they pried on that area to get the radio surround off.

 

At least you can get the insurance to cover it. I just made the second claim in 2 months for a stolen stereo in my sons car. The first one happened at a theater in a very well to do neighborhood(this crap happens everywhere, not just in bad hoods), the second one happened 2 days after he got the replacement stereo installed. Crap my insurance company probably hates my son. The damage they caused the first time was minimal...they knew what they where doing and unscrewed and disconnected everything like the factory would. The second time, they where morons and broke the dash prying at it.

If I ever happen up on some asshat stealing ***** out of a car, God better help him. I plan to make the theif pay for any and all stereos I have ever had stolen.


Rocks

 

Welcome to Jersey... I had my mustang broken into twice and tires slashed right in my parents driveway, and they don't even live in a bad neighborhood.
I'm thankful nothing has happened to my L yet, especially since I work in New Brunswick... even though I park in a parking deck I still worry.

 

BUT, he does have ME for the ride home!

 

Fking Jersey Gangsters, you really needed my Brothers Radio that bad @(*$%(@$%(@$%@$(&%@$(&@^%(@$
Man that sucks Mark, I'm so sorry
That would have never happen in NY
HEY JLO GANG, WHERE THE HELL R U WHEN WE NEED YA ???

Now Mark think of what your saying here Bro
Lets not forget the Tires and Rims they took, the Supercharger and Battery,
Tools, Gauges and of course the beautiful new Diamond Ring you just bought the Mrs that was in the glove compartment

So so sorry : o (
But really great to meet and spend some time with You and your Wife,
Best of Luck with the New BEAST ; o )

 

Being newly married I have to say that is a great thing, or else.
