It isnt to hard to think who he is talkin about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I would say call him out, but that opens up one hell of a Pandora's Box. I'm glad I don't consider anyone like that my friend. That's childish and immature, and it really is grounds for a butt-whoopin'. No reason that nonsense needs to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Sam, the people behind my car were just that, behind my car. The hood was up and they couldn't see past it, not to mention my car does get a lot of lookers when the hood is up. As for who it may have been, there's been more than a few people mentioning an individual hanging around my engine bay and at one point, actually reaching in. Whether they were doing something malicious or maybe just pointing at something closely, we all know they have no reason or right to be anywhere close. Best advice from me to them and anyone else involved? Stay the fuck away from it, no matter what their purpose is. They were being closely watched by quite a few people, especially with their past record. I'll admit that I'm not 100% sure and never will be unless someone identifies an individual actually carrying my belt. But coincidence is enough, so it's in people's best interests to keep away from my car if they're not trusted. After all, they are in the limelight. This all being said, I'd like to thank whomever it was who did remove my belt. I was forced to pull everything apart earlier this evening since it's required for a belt change. I ultimately ended up finding another problem. The bearing seized in my idler pulley and decided to commit suicide. Now that I have things apart, this enables me to repair it before something much worse could have happened. So again, thanks to whomever was a fag and cut my belt to swipe it. You've allowed me to diagnose a much bigger problem that could have been much worse than a $24 supercharger belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall we start marching them up so we can have a lynching, or just agree that nothing has been 100% proven, so we chalk it up as a FYI. If you'd like to be the one to complain and open Pandora's Box, John, feel free. Then you'll start seeing stuff you won't like and all bets are off.

Drunkendubber Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Assumptions are a mother fucker. Unless you can be 100% sure, accusations are only going to accomplish 1 thing and under no circumstances are they positive. It sucks when shit happens to your stuff, but the last thing that needs to happen is slander or lyble (sp) or even worse. Hope its not what you think and just some ass hat.

MrMeanGreen Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Not insulting, you seem to be a fan of bringing minor details some would overlook and bring attention to it. Unfortunately, people saw what they saw and word got out about it before I even came back from Massey's. I do believe I'm entitled to elaborate indirectly with what proof has been presented, and I have admitted it's not 100%. But, the witnessed event is still there and was acted upon in a public place. Take it as you will, but when a group of individuals presents something that catches their attention, it's scrutinized, especially under the circumstances.

You ever think that maybe a seized idler pulley could have caused your belt to self-destruct on the way to Jags and was already gone when you got there???? I am in no way saying it is OK to do that to a car, but with what you just said I think it is a little rediculous to just to conclusions and accuse people that a lot of us know.

Trust me, it's hard to not hear. Car is started after sitting 1.5 hours, and no longer has functional supercharger right at start. Car has no pieces of belt, or for that matter, a belt anywhere including under the car. Did it walk off? Did the pulley magically disentegrate it in the parking space while the car was off? Make your own conclusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years between my Camaro and my Firebird, I've been to plenty of meets both here and in Florida and never had a problem leaving my hood up unattended. Until now. That's stopped as of last night. I mark this as a learning lesson and move on, or at least try to until some people let this die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you this dense in real life too?but the question is *did they see him/her take the belt* if not then all you can do i hate some for maybe doing something. I went through this same shit when some shitbag stepped on my laptop. No proof just leaves you with a nice lil spot of hate in your heart. but since you already seem to have this angry disposition against the unnamed then i guess it doesnt really matter anyways and your anger is proof enough for yourself.

Everyone knows whom you are talking about and I in no way believe it was he. I think you are so full of yourself that you are just making up shit to talk about. I think it is much more likely that your belt is out on Main St. and you did not realize that as you pulled in to Jegs. That make it any clearer for you or should I spell thinks out slower for you.

People saw standing and reaching at/into my engine bay, but no actual belt leaving. Thus, why I've said not 100% sure and that mark it up as an experience with leaving my hood up unattended. Lemme put this into another angle. Say you have a party and there's plenty of beer. The end of the night, there's only beer left in a glass marked "Kyle". A group of people see someone they know standing around holding this glass of yours with beer in it, at one point bringing it close to their mouth. However, they never actually see them drink any. 10 minutes later, you go to grab the glass of the remaining beer that has your name on it, and it's completely empty. People come up to you and say so-and-so was holding your glass of beer 10 minutes ago. But, they never saw this person drinking it, even though they had no right to be holding it in the first place. Does this mean 100% that they drank it? Nope, but it sure as hell leads a convincing story as to what probably happened to it. Now you see my point. You're right, I am angry. But you know what, life goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
