370z and park & rides

jaedub

Dibs on your rotors......on a more serious note, sorry for your loss. I hope the thieves die in a slow and painful way. I remember someone hit my parked Z and ran. I died a little inside. Hope all goes well with your insurance. GL on repairs!

Man I feel you about getting hit while your car is parked, I parked my car far away from everyone at a supermarket and some jerkoff still manages to hit me we can't ever have nice things.

GOT &^(**&# <-----insert many curse words and man screams here. Seriously sorry that this happened but thank you for sharing and warning us. This world is cruel sometimes. People have no consideration for others and how hard they work for their stuff. Not only do they destroy it/take it but then inconvenience you with the hassle of taking the time out of your day to deal with this nonsense. The $%&#*& better pray that the law catches them before some extremely irate angry SOB finds them. USAA will take good care of you. Seeing this makes me want to invest in a GPS Viper Alarm.

I thought my insurance was high until I read this thread geez!! I was at $200 a month for 370z, GSXR1000 and BMW 323i, sold the bike and the rate went down to $88 a month for both cars full coverage 5/5 deductible. Moved from Hawaii to Florida with just the Bimmer and it went up to $120. Was told because of the hurricanes/storms is the reason it went up which makes sense. I have USAA as well. Currently with the FRS and the 370z paying $175. I also had a very bad driving record when I was much younger, mostly speeding violations. My record has been clean for quite some time now.

I hope you get taken care of, on the positive side you get new wheels, rotors, and from the pics looks like sides skirts/other panels and possibly a fresh paint job. I would talk with the body shop and see what you could work out on going aftermarket for wheels and rotors if that's something you wanted to do in the future anyway. Either way good luck and again sorry about this.

Does the park and ride have any cameras?

Redhorizons

Brad, no it doesn't. The community has been demanding it for some time.

Redhorizons

Hahaha sorry for the double negative.

i had a dream last night that someone stole my like new condition 2004 G35C... felt so violated.

When I first got my car it was after I woke up twice a night for month because I was dreaming about my care being stolen. But this was all due to my friends Z, a veteran member here getting all his wheels stolen, his reaction was hilarious though.

He walked outside, saw his car, lit his cigarette, and just said...fk
xD

Same thing happened to my friend in Nov of last year. He lives in SE DC in view of the Nationals Baseball stadium. They took his rims when his car was parked right in his driveway. Since then, he sold his car. Was tired of being worried all the time.

Sorry it happened to someone else.

I'm buying a second car just to park at the park & ride. The Sentra I was looking at fell through. So I got a loan for 7k, hopefully I can find something nice that's not a target. I think anything low end like a civic, fit, versa, Mazda3 should fit the bill.

Minsu

LOL, how dare you facebook stalk me!

Smart man!

MR.nismo

Civic's and mazda 3 (speed 3 engines a quick little bastards) could still be a "targeted vehicle". The most stolen cars in US are civic, camry, accord. The reason is since they are too many of them, the demand for parts is high as well. If you want to be totally worry free you need a ford ranger or a geo metro.
I had a "semi" nice Evolution back in the day and I used to drive to work/errands around town an old Chevy S-10 POS. It was red with a blue tailgate and had nothing but what came from factory. Not even the radio was upgraded and it had an anemic 4 cylinder engine.
I have a friend who owns a 911 Porsche but drives a Geo Metro to work and around town.

They took his wheels, but that is after breaking the windows and finding the lug key. I think this was more of a regular robbery that became more opportunistic when they found the key in the car.

If you carry your lug key around you, have a full set of lug locks on your rims, and have a security system in your car, then you did your part. If something still happens to your car after taking all your precautions, well that's what comprehensive insurance is for.
