Default My XR8 was trashed today!

Although every effort was taken to care for this car and treat it with the upmost respect,

Today is was trashed to a non useable state.

Needless to say I am not a happy boy.


The culprit was caught red handed and sent to his room........

Was it a stolen and recovered vehicle?? Because that's the state most of them end up in.

Damn car thieves! At least he/she/they didn't burn it down to the ground.. or should that be... the carpet. :

Could be a sign of things to come. When the child asks for the keys to the XR8, just send him a copy of this link.

This doesn't bode well:
Trashing cars, and sticking stickers on cars at such a young age can't be a good sign.

There is only one way to deal with this most heinous crime the perpetrator shall have his/her teddy bear torn limb from limb in front of their eyes and spend 100yrs confined to their room,on a diet of stale bread and water.

There is absolutely no damage to this vehicle. It is in perfect working order and testament to the fine craftsman that created it.



**Edit** do what John McMaster said.

Cheers, Danny

are you rasing a little ricer? trying to get rid of all the extra weight for drifting, this now gives you the excues to do a costly rebulid, maybe start with 1:18-20"rims with 1:18-lock nuts

I'm sure he does, cost an action-man arm and a leg though.

Sorry Philbie the rear left wheel was me, needed a spare for by 1:18 Ute, came only with a 1:18 steelie that won't fit over the big-**** 1:17 brakes I put on it.

LOL, you put the fear into me alright, my insurance is bad enough without another XR8 Ute being written off. Sure this kid is yours and not Flavze's?

Hahahahahahaha!

This thread is so funny yet so terrible. Those things are expensive!

Maybe your kid should be crammed into a 1:18 prison cell? or only fed 1:18 meals?

Whats the point of jail!! He will be out on parole in only 1:18 of his sentence. Although a lawyer that only charges 1:18 of his fee would be a welcome change.

Hahaha yeah...

For the 1:18 amount of time he is in there though, he had better not pick up the 1:18 soap! or he would leave as only 1:18 of the man he once was...
