Is it aluminum or steel????
So here I am, minding my own business....outbound from downtown Chicago on the Eisenhower Expressway. Traffic is bumper to bumper...about 5-10mph. As I come up to a railroad overpass, I see stuff flying through the air. Big, black chunks of crap that I think may be coming from a truck ahead of me. As I pass under the overpass, I see those chunks start to bounce off cars!!! Another 5o feet down the road and I hear a heart-stopping sound as one of the chunks, ashphalt as it turns out, bounces off my Mother*& %$ing HOOD!!!!!!!
I looked in my mirror only to find 3 upstanding young men stylishly dressed in white t-shirts high-fiving each other and pointing and laughing at their handiwork.
I immediately called the state police (since it's an interstate) and they of course told me there was no shot in hell of picking these kids out of the thousands dressed just like that in the area.
So...our Shelby is no longer a virgin.
I need to know if it's aluminum or not because that will help me decide whether to repair it or replace it.
Yes, I'm sick about it. My wife is livid. Somehow, somewhere, someone was allowed to procreate and these delinquents are the result of their handiwork. God forbid these kids be doing anything to make this world a slightly better place. Can you even fathom what has to go through someone's mind as they do this?
Are they TRYING to kill someone? What is it that they wish to accomplish in this action? Is it the thrill of being a "bad boy"? (They should be thrilled I'm no longer a cop.)
On one hand, I am so incredibly hurt and disheartened after waiting a year for this car and for all it means to us. On the other hand, Shelby just got a middle name. SC no longer stands for supercharger, it stands for Shelby Christine and she's PISSED OFF!!!
Be careful out there.
