..am I the only one who doesn't think that permanent damage is/was a good idea?

Just for the record, I rode a bike to work for ~9-10 months through Gainesville/FL traffic..and yeah, I'd be really pissed if someone hit me.

Glad to hear you are alright.

If it happens again, just put about a cup of sugar in the gas tank.

Nothing happens if you put sugar in the gas tank. It won't dissolve in the gasoline, and the fuel filter will filter it out (although it'll have to be replaced).

Lots of rubbing alcohol is a good idea.

So I'm finishing this car at around 8:15 one morning and one of the royal bitch residents and her golfing bitch friends pull out of the garage and says "oh my, maybe I can talk to the management and have MY car washed during the water ban" and then storms off. So a security guard who I knew well came down and just said "oh, it's you, don't worry, finish what you need to". So, being one to hold a grudge, on my last day of employment there, I chose not to use the restroom for most of the night and then proceded to give her open top Jaguar XJ-S convertible a "special wash treatment". That new car smell was gone forever.

Good job! Anyone without a lick of sense or decency like her deserves what she got!

I drive an SUV myself, but I respect the two-wheelers. It takes balls to drive in today's traffic without any protection.

This is true, the most that would happen is that her in tank filter would become clogged. A better way to go on fuel injected cars is to use corn syrup. It will get pumped the whole way through to the injectors. ;):evil:

You didn't just leave it sitting there untouched, did you? Not even a friendly little note?

No No no...banana up the tail pipe ;)

Just rip the side-view mirror off and hit her with that!



Now that would be awesome.
Too bad those things don't rip off of SUVs easily.

How do you know it was definitely her car?

Did you catch her liscense plate? I hope so!

I personally would have walked into the show store and asked who owned that car. I would have made a huuuge scene and then pulled her aside to try to settle and get some cash out of the whole ordeal. She'd be dumb to not give you a couple hundred dollars after the scene you made...

:) I, of course, would have done all this AFTER sticking bananas in her exhaust pipe.

Glad to hear you're OK, buddy! :) Good job w/the bannanas. Excellent creativity on the bicycle pump usage. *puts smiley faces next to your name on roster* She is gonna be SO pissed after the:

$146.93 towing charge...all the way around the corner to Arturo Aguilaros Automotive Fixit Shop
$430.81 diagnostic charge for running all kinds of tests on her not-running auto.....and not finding anything...until they look at the muffler.....
$390.11 charge from Arturo's brother, Manuel, who owns Manuels' Mini-Midas Muffler Shop for the new muffler b/c the old one stank like bannanas. :D



Bahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahah! You rock! And again, I'm glad you're OK. :)

It wasn't revenge, it was punishment! :evil: :) Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but someday, the correlation between the cyclist and the bananas will come to her as revelation that the wheel of karma sometimes has two wheels :beer:
