Excess for insurance is cheaper than a nose job.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1870 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 Such a negative topic... Well I was at the lights in central Auckland today, and this old fella in his late model E39 next to mine asked me what sort of polish i used on the paintwork, and complemented it's finish. Was refreshing to see someone who appreciates your car, rather than staunch you out. Did have one drop kick bet that i could pimp 10 bitches in my old 528i a while back tho. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excess for insurance is cheaper than a nose job.... Really? Who's you insurance with? How'd you get such a low excess? Seriously though, when you get your car stolen it changes you. Those who have been there know what I mean. I was lucky enough to get my car back, but it never felt the same. It's pretty common behaviour to ignore an explosive situation. It's the reason they tell women to scream "Fire" instead of rape. Even minor problems, there was a car that had broken down just before the fairfeild bridge roundabout in Hamilton. Everyone just went around the poor girl who was in it. I got out to at least push her over to the side of the road - she told me she'd been sitting there for 15 minutes (probably annoyed so might have been exagerated a bit). It's a disgusting trait of society to just turn a blind eye. Any luck with the servo re: video surveillance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andre3000 55 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Bunch of "whatever we call them" tried to jack me an my mate Anton in the subaru one time. I think they were attracted by the non-negro music playing from my piece of sh*t stereo. We were stopped at a stop sign in epsom. The first one approached the passenger side and said "nice sounds g", and tried to open the passenger door. He then grabbed my mate by the neck and tried to punch him but i floored it. Anton grabbed his arm and we dragged him like 50m with his buddy chasing behind the car. I slammed on the brakes and he ran full tilt into the back of the subey and Anton let go of his arm and we drove off calmly. I think the best thing i have ever done to protect myself is never f**k people off in your own neighbourhood, and never register your car to your home address.

Ghost 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2009 Jesus, has NZ really become that bad in the last 5 years? Seriously, I feel safer in Houston! In the US you just stay out of the Ghetto areas and it's usually no problem. What I hate about NZ is the violent attitude, it doesnt matter where you are. If I come home, I'll aim to live in the South Island thanks, a little more peaceful... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
