My Ferrari vandalized at Concorso. F-chatter involved?

That bites. Lets hope that justice prevails over your vandal.

 

THAT [expletive] SUCKS!!! WHAT THE [expletive] DUDE!?!?!?

Mike - that is pure [expletive]. You're taking it extremely well, but that is complete [expletive]. I hope it you solve it all. Let me know what I can do.

Well, you are one of them.

But the idea of someone damaging a car just b/c of a verbal dispute is disgusting. If your suspicion is right, the guy needs treatment .. .. first with fists and after this from a psychiatrist. Although you are one of the trolls that make P&R unbearable I sincerely hope that the culprit gets caught.

 

That does suck. One doesn't expect such ramifications to result from participation on a chat board. Pretty scary if you think about it. I was always under the impression that all was fair in love, war and P&R, but this is going way, way too far! Good luck finding who did it. I'm extremely surprised by this.

 

[P&R-esque trolling deleted]

How low.......

 

That blows. I really don't think I'd be taking it as well as you are.

 

Dude that is just not right at all! That is a pure low class move. Especially at an event like concorso. On the street it wouldn't be a surprise, not that it would be okay, but come on ........... at concorso? VERY cheap move.

 

Mike,

Unlike the others speaking here I have no idea who you are or what you've said to "possibly" provoc such an abhorrent act but this is a disgusting act. It may not have happened directly at Concorso before this but it's also not the 1st time its happened to people attending the events in Monterey.

A lot of years ago we had a 1st place concours winning Maserati keyl aced in the parking lot with a security guard present at the organizers hotel. (Concorso was originated by the Maserati club) That was obviously done by someone the guard had no reason to be concerned about. One of "us".

Four years ago at a track and concours event on the east coast 4 or 5 cars got key laced while they were in a tent which was once again guarded. I reached the same conclusion as to who did it.

Some people get very worked up at these shows about winning and now it would seem we can add chat rooms to the list.

This is why I've stopped judging and rarely enter my cars for judging.

How pathetic some people are.

I go to track events instead. That's where on some unfortunate days a key lace job can seem like a nice day.

Mike,

Sorry to hear about the car. Sunny made it spotless, it will be that way again.

If you have a suspicion as to who would key your car, then out him. Give him the chance to deny your accusation, or, fess up.

I don't think I've agreed with much of anything you've posted in P&R, but I'd never stoop to damaging your car as retribution.

I just find it hard to believe that someone would key your car over internet prattle.

Again, sorry to hear of the mishap, hopefully your paint shop will put you right.

Dave

 

Yep, but you shouldhave the courage of your convictions. If you're going to make an accusation, make it, don't veil it in, maybe, might have, etc.

Suspect someone?

Accuse him, or leave it out of the post altogether.

Just my 2 cents.

DM

 

I can't believe it, that's horrible.
I hope you find out who did it.

 

Sorry to hear about the car. Definately the act of a cowardly individual. Someone who is angered enough with you to do something like that should also have the guts to confront you directly, not hide behind an immature act of vandalism on an inanimate object.

As for the suggestions of outting the suspect, I think that is a very bad idea. You've given enough information that anyone who would know about what happened can give you confirmation. An unsubstantiated allegation directly against a fellow F-Chatter wouldn't do any good. In fact, if the suspect was actually guilty but not proven to be, they would likely use a thread like that to do as much harm to your reputation as possible.

Wait and see what happens. Like you said, maybe he was foolish enough to tell someone what he did and they will have an attack of concience and pass that information along to you.

 

That's a cowardly and mean.

 

Offer a reward, it works, especially if more than one person was involved/there. I had a 70' BOSS 302 get keyed at Starbucks, I offered a reward and one of the punks friends called me, he was there and saw him do it. Punks will take money over a "friend" anyday in my experience.

Christian

 

SORRY MAN! You are taking it pretty well!

Lets find this jerk!!

-jt

 

wow even if the owner was a complete head , i wouldnt damage a ferrari,its sacraledge, and think of the future owners .... if you really hate him just pull the stems out, that way it just pisses him off and it will be fixed the next day.

 

Real nice! Kick a guy when he's down....twice!

Jagoff!

 

Were you in Monterey this week?

Also, have you ever thought that most people think YOU are a troll and not Mike? I suppose not. You are one of those types of people that are above all.

 

Mike:

Sorry to hear that. Although you and I have had our differences, damaging your car is something that should not have been done.

Mike,

This is simply unbelievable! Dave called me yesterday to tell me what happened and I was shocked! Still, like the others have said, you seem to be handling the situation with class. Hopefully justice will done done though. Like John Travolta's character said in Pulp Fiction, "It would almost be worth him doing it if I could catch him in the act."

 

This is not just a car that the coward damaged it is a work of art. If the coward has any balls he will reveal himself.

 

Mike,

Sorry to hear that about your car. I totally agree with you - even though we might have differences on the board, but when we get down to brass tacks - all of us here are Ferrari enthusiasts - and keying any car is wrong - a Ferrari is TOTALLY WRONG.
