Another reason to NOT leave the Lotus unattended

[cudacharlie]

The guy that peed on your car probably has people peeing on him all day.

The rest of his sucky-ass life is all the revenge you'll ever need.

Hose it off, whistle while you work, and thank Bob you're not THAT guy.

You know ItsThaMonsta INVENTED the "driving-with-your-jimmy-out-the-window" technique, and as a loyal believer in this technique, I wouldn't hesitate to whip out my jimmy and piss all over that *******s's face for pulling that ****.

I parked my motorcycle outside in my GF's (at the time) apartment complex. My bike was pissed on, knocked over, baseball batted, and had my turn signals ripped out of their stalks within the course of a year. This was in a "good neighborhood" and the bike was parked in a highly visible spot.

It can happen anywhere really. Worst part is that there is nothing one can do unless you catch them doing it.

Mostly, it's sad that others' lives are so ****ty that they would take their frustrations out on other people's property... RESPECT MY AUTHORITAAAY!

this has happend to me. THe only reason i noticed was becuase i had just washed the car the day before... otherwise i don't think i would have noticed it's usually so dirty anyway. that was the really pisser (no pun intended) that i had JUST washed it... It's still just a car.

When you come out to find a not so svelte lesbian drunken sprawled across the front of your car with another girl taking her picture, let me know... at least they were just trying to have fun, not be jerks. The most agravating thing i found on my car actually was running shoe foot steps across the front clam... and the only reason i saw those was becuase the prints lifted the dirt off the car. ...and i think i might have known who did that becuase of when and where it happened. It's still just a car.

I'm parking my soft topped car daily street parallel parked in rough enough neighborhoods that are relatively known to have things stolen from vehicles... the fact that my soft top has survived this far is miracle enough, that with no other damage that requires me spending money to fix... i certainly can't complain.

Okay, i did have all 4 tires slashed once and that was money, but then there were over 150 cars slashed on that night (every car for blocks), so it certianly wasn't my car that caused it.

Out of sight out of mind. I roll mine up tightly front to back and it fits nicely in the boot...

It would be funny to paint the outside of a car cover to look like a beat up Ford Pinto or Chevy Vega!

A girl who I was with ran into someone she knew there. He was in the military and on leave or something. Anyway, he started telling her how he pissed on this lotus that was out back. He even tried to get her to go out and see. She declined. This wasnt in a bad area either, it was in the heart of Daytona on a nice strip.... just something for everyone to think about when vacating your car.

On behalf of the US military personnel with a modicum of couth and respect for others, I apologize for this young man's behavior. Gives the rest of us a bad name.

This is why we need to carry guns. A New Yorker really just said that.

Very nice, retractable stocks are a must for Lotus drivers

Very cool, I had them at the same time but decided to get rid of the 4. Despite the rep from those cars I absolutely love them. I had more fun driving that than the new GTR...

Right because things like this only happen in America.

Oh, trust me, the UK has an "under-class" that makes North America's "trailer trash" look downright civilised. Unfortunately, I have an aunt and uncle over there that have lived on the dole and faked disability for 40 years, taught all of their kids how to ride the system, now the grandkids are in on the act... of course, they breed like wildfire. Vandalism and burglary are a way of life for many. The UK cops are quite good, even unarmed... Scotland Yard really does get their man! The bad news is the politically correct and/or senile judges and antiquated laws just turn these vermin back on to the streets. Like many places today, Britain would be a better place with the noose, or the stocks for lesser crimes.

I've never noticed any damage from when it was out of my sight. The only time I saw someone do something was an old man knocking on the body with his knuckles trying to figure out what it was made of. No big deal.
