Until proven guilty of their crimes they are "the accused."

How much do you think a LT1 is worth in the eyes of the insurance company?

Those pictures gave me goosebumps. It just chills me to the bone, I don't know how people can be so sick in the head. Why do that? What thrill comes from that? Disgusting.

I can't see how someone would enjoy or want to that? Hope the people who did this get caught.

These kids confessed?

If they get convicted of the crime and they are less than 18, you may be able to sue their parents.

Ultimately, parents are responsible for the actions of their children.

My insurance company said mine was worth 4600. 96 z28 m6 had 165k at that time.


Thing is, nice LT1 cars are actually damn hard to find.

I know that convert tops are not cheap.

depending on how many miles are on your car, it may be totaled.
Totaled? This isn't a car accident broski. Its coming out of the parents' pockets.

Best part is the parents are renters. When the father came home, he walked up to my brother and the neighbor, who they also vandalized and said, "I have to come home to this ****." If I ever did some stuff like this under my parents roof, they would leave me in jail and tell me to find another place to live.

ouch! who did the work? that's pricey! my bill for painting my hood, headlight doors, and roof panel on my car was $750 back in 2008.


i just had the bumpers, upper rear quarter, part of the drivers door, and strip on top of the windshield painted on my 04 mustang for $825.

Im not going to lie i would have kicked the dads ***. maybe twice because he should have told those little bastards long ago that messing with a mans car is worse then sleeping with his wife.

Does the dad drive a ford or like Mustangs? This would make me think he told them to do it!

On a side note 1400 to paint a front bumper is WAY over priced, 300 a bumper is about what it should be unless all the paint needs to be reomved if so then 600 would be the cost. Your car is going to need a complete repaint to fix the scratches and the swirl marks. i would think 2400 out the door to repair the paint and 1200 for the roof.

Wow...these paint job prices are crazy! I guess like many things in life, it's who you know My dealership service manager friend got a dealership body/paint guy to paint my whole car a completely different color "under the table" for only $900 labor. Granted, the paint was free somehow...lol, they had a very similar color left over from anther job (2010 Dodge plum crazy) to the color I was wanting (bright purple metallic) so I went with the free paint (no brainer) and me and a friend did all the body prep work sanding the crap out of it for hours before paint. It turned out awesome...not show quality, but not Maaco quality either lmao.

So just a bit of an update, the kid didn't show up for the court date, I guess the public defender worked out some super secret deal, since no body knew about it. The kid is getting charged with 4 felony's (C and D) and some other minor charges. Apparently the public defender told him to plead guilty to the charges we had against him. So they gave him till the end of the year to pay me.

So he just bought my 94 for $4600.

The car is worth more than that and you'll never see the money.
