So Saturday I was checking on my car out the window of a shop I was at since it was parked at a meter and around here they love to write tickets for no front plate. Something looked off. It took me a second to figure out, but it finally dawned on me. Someone took my tow hook. My yellow plasti-dipped, been on my car for the past 3+ years, OEM tow hook. WTF? I know I will never find the perp, but I would love to put that same tow hook in a tube sock and just go county jail on his head. Stuff like this really makes me angry. Thankfully, there is karma. What goes around, comes around. And in my experience the comearound is always the worst part. Enjoy my tow hook, who ever you are. Hope you get to use on weekly basis.
Messin with a mans tow hook, damn Justice will be served, downside is it is unlikely you will be witness which is just wrong. Farging Iceholes.............
If I had to guess it was not stolen but removed during a recent service that required front bumper removal and the tech accidentally forgot to replace. I expect you will get a call that a tech found it on a workbench in the shop.
Yeah, sadly. Now I have to beat my mechanic with a dirty sock with a tow hook in it. Don't know what I am more upset about. Him forgetting to put the damn thing back on, or messing up a perfectly good rant thread. At least he let me tow the car on his trailer for 100 miles. Maybe I will go hide his grease gun, or something.
That is too funny! When I got Spike back from replacing the sunroof and the Chain Tension Special, there was this black stuff on his chrome exhaust tips. At first I thought the shop had backed it into something and damaged the tips. I was sure of it in fact. I was going to call up and give them a hard time. Then I decided to try wiping them and getting a closer look. Sure enough it was just some melted rubber from the vacuum hose they put on the shop when they idled the car.
Many many years ago, when I was young and naive, I had my VW Scirocco broken into twice to have the stereo 'removed'. The first time they broke the window then unlocked the door and helped themselves. The second time they broke the vent window and got in. I had the passenger window taped up with polly for a week (in the rain) before I could visit a claims adjuster. When he inspected the car he removed the plastic and promptly rolled up the 'broken' window. I had been driving around for a week assuming the window was gone, simply because of my first break-in experience and due to the glass on the ground (which on second thot was very little). I know this has nothing to do with your nice Plasti-dipped tow-hook, but I thought I'd share never-the-less :crazy:
Went with a Stage 1 clutchmaster. Honestly, the HP on this one didn't require much more. The engagement point is sooooo different. It's been 4 days and I am still getting used to it.
I can see it all in a police report............. Innocent, happy go lucky, fun, full of life person assaulted by irate "person of interest", goes by the moniker "goaljnky", while attempting to slip a spotter card under the wiper arm of a small fast car. :lol:
When I was in for an axle seal leak about a month ago to the dealer, I got the MINI back without my antenna!!!!! WTF?????? :mad5: I freaked out, but didn't go nuts on the dealership, thought I'd wait and see what happened..... turns out it was loose, and fell off during the courtesy wash. They immediately ordered me a new one from Alta and had it shipped to my house. I was glad I didn't bite their heads off right away, then I'd be labeled, "THAT customer", and I'd be forever getting my car back wreaking of stale farts or something :lol: Glad you got your tow hook figured out
Go ahead and have your rant Go over the the political section and have at it...let me get you started....Those sons a b****** in the (fill in your political party of choice) are sooooo fulll of s**t!!!
Kinda makes you wonder what else he forgot to put on... :ihih: Did he at leasdt give you the box of parts that were 'extras'?
