Well my Old may be on its way to the grave...

Friday I drove to work as usual. Went home as usual...Friday night I decided to take mount my new 6x9's in my car since I didnt have a ton of work to do. Well I went out turned my car on. Woouldnt start. Now on Tursday note it did run alittle rough but smoothed out after I drove it about 100 yrds.

I tried again...VROOOOM! There it went...stalled! DAMN! Tried again. Turnning but now start. The car started to rock. So I let off popped the hood. I saw what was the scariest thing I could see...the oil cap was missing. I ran into the house grabebd a flash light. I looked into the hole and what do I see...a small freak pile of rocks sitting inside. OH I was pissed. I ran in got my mom. We called the police and my insurance peeps. There is some blue liquid inside my gas cap and my radiator overflow is lower than normal. Well TO make a long story short...My insurance people are goign to have it towed on Tuesday and there is a chance they won't fix it being its going to be 11 years old next year and all. I asked a friend that does claims for Progressive (my insurance company and they have been good to me so far with my window, deer damage on my old truck and the rock that some drunk threw at my truck) and she said from the sounds of it they will not fix it. So I pulled my wheels off and put my 14's back on being i just bought them and most likely they wont give me more for my car if they are on...put my 14'sback on didnt even bothe to put the hub caps back on...pulled my head unit...my hidaway annetta...my amp...my subs...my floor mats and my car seat covers....

At this point i don't care if thet fix it or not...if they don't have to buy another car(won't say new cause I don't know what I would get yet new or used). If they do fix it...well then I will practically have a new car cause they are going to want to flush my radiator...change the hoses most likely...pull the head and fix whatever the rocks screwed up...clean out my tank...clean out the oil pan....so we will see...But just incase i did pull all my toys out...they ain't getting any of them less the give me more for the car. My baby looks really sad right now. He old shoes and feets on. No bright aloha seat covers showing...the drive side dorr panel still missing...driver side power window still now fixed (was gonna put that in on tuesday too - DARN IT).

To Quote Arny from Christine "Shitters!" - Note that is directed at the vandels not anyone here

Damn...that sux big time!
Just wondering though...how did they put rocks in the engine? Did you leave your doors unlocked or did they just break in?
Best of luck to you and your car...

i would sit around and wait for those "shitters" to come back and give them a little paintball gun action and get there car too! with 20lb concrete blocks through all four/six windows and make sure their car is a writeoff . or you can pull your engine out but leave the car so when they come back thinking that they can do it again wont they be surprised when they find couple of pitbulls waiting under the hood!

!!!!I DO NOT VACILITATE THESE PROBLEM SOLUTIONS!!!!
!!!THEY ARE ONLY AND JUST ONLY FOR HUMOR PURPOSES!!!

Dude that sucks. Good luck with it though!!

Well one of the times I didn't lock my car. GREAT!!!!

Talked to a couple people that do insurance and they said there is no way that Progessive is going to fix it being its 11 yrs old and the cars paint is not in greatest shape. So We will see.

Today I took pictures of the carand notice that a few wires were also cut. The SHITTERS!

We will see....

Any suspects? piss anyone off recently? granted you might get $$$ to get a different car... but are these same people going to strike again? where was it done at? work/school? store? house? If it was at a store probably a fluke, but if done at your home. Chances are someone doesnt like you, and will prolly do it again seeing how you got a different car.

ouch, that really sucks, do you owe someone money or something?
If you had rocks in your head (no pun intended) they most likely got in the valves, in which case you're going to need more than a new head, the pushrods are most likely bent if a rock got jammed in there, and if any made it into the cylinder then forget it, probably all scored from the rocks. If it was just a couple little rocks in the head that didn't get mixed up with anything it might not be a problem, but form what you describe (stalling, etc) you probably have severe damage. Plus depending on how big these rocks were, if it ran long enough to get oil flowing into the heads, they could have been washed down into the engine in which case it would make it even more of a total loss.

get as much money as you can from your insurance company and get another car (unless they're willing to put a new or rebuilt engine in it)

I'm reminded of the kid that poured sandblasting sand into his intake with the car running trying to do a "do-it-yourself port and polish" http://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1567770.phtml
