I am so pissed...

I've been saving money since last summer to buy a new toy, a very nice all original 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Car, owned by my uncle, who has about 20 cars. Almost mint condition and straight out of the disco era, complete with the AM/FM 8-track/CB (he even had a huge collection of tapes to go with it, lol.) and 460 ci. (7.5L) V-8. I finally got the cash together and went to get it expecting to drive it home today, but when I got there I found out that some kids had decided to spend a recent snow day trespassing my uncles property and vandalizing about a dozen of his vehicles, including the aforementioned Lincoln, ugh...X(

I guess I got lucky though, compared to the rest of the cars they were rather gentle on the Lincoln, all they did to it was tear up the dash, smash the 8-track (I guess the was a statement of their opinion on 8-tracks) and tear up the steering wheel, ripped the padding and horn button out. But this was light damage compared to what they did to the other cars, smashed windows, broken head and tail lights, they took a sledge hammer to a few of the cars bodies, and even stuck a chain saw through the windshield of one of his trucks...

In all they did over $20,000 worth of damage, but the good news is that the stupid fucks walked there, in the snow and my uncle and his two sons were able to fallow the footprints in the snow around the lake and right up to the little bastards back door...:thumbs up:

And even better for me, since my uncle is in the auto salvage business, he's able to repair most of the damage to the Lincoln and will have it to me by Wednesday, at a $200 discount, because it's no longer all original... But, I doubt he will be able to replace that 8-track...

Man, that just sucks!!!
Why do people have to be like that!
That's a beautiful car. To bad you won't find many parking spaces that size anymore.

Glad you caught the little A-holes! Man when I was a kid we'd do mischief...egg cars or TP trees - nothing too serious but when these little sh*theads do major damage destroying property - they need to pay the price and not just get their wrist slapped!

Anyway - glad you'll get the car Brm...You deserve it - it's a Pimp-mobile classic!
wow...here you are coming out NOW to drive the car way! I feel like a paparrazi....maybe I'll take a couple snaps on my cellphone cam....NICE!!!

Actually, it's only about 6" longer than my current daily driver, a 1974 Mercury Monterey coupe (sorry for the stock photo, I can't get my cell phone to upload the actual picture,:?) and I have no trouble parking it...

I'm actually buying this one more for my mother to drive as my car is not stock and a little too much for her to handle, lol

Not quite my style, I dress more like an old school mobster, think black leather sport coat or cashmere overcoat with a black fedora...

That is a serious chunk of metal Kev... if you had a small european car too you could keep it in the trunk in case of emergencies!

You joke about it, but I have actually thought about it. After all, you can't have a yacht without a life boat, lol...

While a small car won't quite fit in the trunk, although a Peel 50 with the top cut off comes damn close to fitting...



I have been considering other options...

The Centaur Folding Scooter...


The Honda Motocompo...


However both of these are very rare and expensive, so maybe I'll just get a Pocket Bike to keep in the trunk in case of emergency...

Make sure the little shits do jail-time. They won't be laughing when they get to share a cell with a HUGE and very hairy daddy.

I hate that. It's like destroying one person's lifetime of passion.... in a few minutes.

Unfortunately I really have no say in the matter, as I had yet to purchase the car when the damage was done. This happened the next county over, and although my uncle did file a police report, he also currently has a lawsuit pending against that police department, so I doubt they will be quick to act on it. The culprits are all minors, ages 12 to 16, so unless they already have extensive juvenal records, they won't even see the inside of a jail cell. The only option left to him is to sue the parents for damages...

If I had my way, the little fuckers would be doing basement duty in John Wayne Gacy's corner of Hell...:devil:
