I bought myself an early graduation present for graduating nursing school this coming may. Really, only reason i bought a Denali and not a lower trim was because i found it almost 8k less than blue-book from a family owned and operated dealership just north of Fort Wayne, IN. In mid of the pictures, wait to see some late night vandalism that happened to my new car (still had the damn temp tags on) WHILE I WAS IN MY GARAGE. Ill spell out the story during the pictures.

Now the interesting stuff. The not so good story, but entertaining..
I work nightshift in the hospital, so my schedule reflects that.. It was 2:45am and im detailing my truck in my garage with the garage door open as it was a great night out. It was Saturday morning (so the cool kids must have been out that friday night into saturday morning), pretty quite in my suburban neighborhood. I notice a black pontiac grand prix GT roll by somewhat slow, dont think anything of it as the MPH is 25. Then, about 5 minutes later, it comes rolling by very slow so I stop my GG DA and hear 4 car doors. I thought great.. Im either gonna get jumped, i know them and they want to stop by, or im gonna get egged (which has happened 7 times to my previous 05 impala). As i think of the last option. 12 eggs total bumbard my garage. Imbeciles ran up my drive way to throw the eggs. I saw all 4 of them and then they run away, get into their little black GP GT and zoom away. Little xxxxxxxs throw like girls because of the 12 eggs, 1 hit my tailgate. Destroyed the paint. Here are some pictures. (Have a description of the car and licences plate.)
If anyone has been egged before. You know that the white markings in the picture above are permanent.
A few pictures of "non damage" even though they hit my house. AGAIN FROM LIKE 20ft AWAY. God i hope they dont play baseball..
yes i know that tree is dead.
it looks like they run up behind my neighbors newer 2014 2500 cummins laramie that he babies like i do my own vehicles.
My dad in the drive way (notice two eggs on the roof)
Sad story short, filed a police report, gave description of vehicle and plate # but the township wont do anything. About ~1k to repaint from an autobody quote.
Back to the BETTER stuff
