I really like the SLK 350, glad you have some sort of closure :)

Nice choice the SLK.

Did you get the trunk monkey option?

Glad you in the end got it sorted bud

As id have tied him to the back and taken him for a long drive myself

Plus childish, but id find something that's important to him and video myself destroying it

Karma
Hope it's all sorted buddy as id be in shock

Wow, unbelievable! I, as you, have only had my Z4 for a short time, bit I am in love with the car. I tuck her in every night in the garage and tell her I'll see her tomorrow and I can't imagine someone doing that to my car and living to tell about it. However, you are much more important than your car because you are here to love and serve others.

These cars bring out the joy in us as we drive them and care for them, which ultimately makes us happier humans. You did the right thing by not getting involved my friend, as I'm reminded by a quote I read recently: When you don't know what to do, ask your self this question - "What would love do now?"

Wishing you, your family and your son much love, happiness, and abundance (some of that abundance will come in the form of a repaired or new Z4!). Take care.

Wow - I haven't been on the forum for over a month and have just read every post in this thread. What a nightmare!

Back in the 80's there were a jealous group of lads (a year below me in School) and I was pretty much the 1st guy to buy a Ford Capri in my year (aged 17). It was parked outside a friends house and we hopped into town (night club days) and I slept around his place. Woke up on the Sunday morning to return home and my Capri had been keyed and received some baseball bat treatment - it was wrecked. I never had any proof who damaged the vehicle but I have forever been nervous about parking my car anywhere - 29 years later!

So I know how you must have been feeling but probably a MILLION TIMES worse for you in view that it was flesh and blood,

Glad to read the last few pages that you have purchased a new toy. Enjoy it mate and I hope your son one day will somehow pay you back with respect and some love, albeit it is hard to imagine that will happen in the short term,

Keep the wheels spinning fella.

Have you got the manual or auto SLK350? I owned one a few years ago and the engine is phenomenal although I wasn't keen on the auto box, always wondered what a manual would be like (but then I found a nice 3.0 manual Zed :rofl:

You will probably love the SLK. We still have the SLK R230 but I never driven it (too automatic for me). The bodywork on our 2000 model is rusting around the arches which is quite disappointing though.

Sorry to hear about this, sounds like a nightmare for you. I hope the insurance comes through all ok. Please keep us posted.
Good luck
