I love it, its just about the most relaxing thing in the world. Well. This morning I went out to my car, to do just this. I start the car and put it in Reverse. It's a little hard to move, and I rationally think thats because its been awhile since I started her. So I gave her a few revs and let her sit. Then, tried again. Still had the friction, but this time I moved enough to notice that there was seriously something wrong. My front end was going up and down with the rotation of the tires. I figured this was an axel or something, and immediately was worried. I got out of the car, and looked at the wheels. Both of my front tires had been slashed. I am beyond pissed. I have no clue who would do this or why. As far as I know, I haven't pissed anyone off lately. I don't really have the money to buy two new tires and probably two new rims. They're probably bent from all that pressure. I am so mad right now. UGH. Last edited by Preston 2.0; 05/24/06 09:32 AM. 95 Contour LX Zetec Project "2.0" starting soon!

Now if you DROVE on them for a bit , then . But if you just backed-up a couple feet , they're probably fine . ~~~~~~~ Phil Black & Tan 2000 SVT Contour #2137 of 2150 35,000 miles & counting !

I took my mustang out for the first time and some idiot slashed my convertible top and stole some cheap @$$ stereo the car came with. I was so pissed. Sorry to hear the bad news.

The most it was driven, was backwards about 15 feet, and forward onto the tow truck about another 8-9 feet. Guys who put the new tires on said the rims were fine. Although, they're dirty as Sh!t now.....looks like a combonation of grease and break dust. It's not attractive. 95 Contour LX Zetec Project "2.0" starting soon!

A couple years back there was a series of tire slashings in a 2 block radius in my city. Went on for a couple weeks straight and then they finally caught the culprits...some middle school/high school kids who thought it was funny They had no idea who's cars they were even doing it to.
