    If the damage was a $75 tire... that'd be a different story. For what they did, he got the best scenario out of the whole deal.

    didn't cost me a dime luckily :) cigarette lighter air pump & tires under warranty at les schwab ftw. got a rotation + balance in for free as well.

    I'd be really really pissed if they keyed my car, but on the other hand, the right side of my car was mostly repainetd earlier this year from an accident, wouldnt be too bad to get the left side done as well.. hehe.

    I talked to an associate here at work today.

    Apparantly kids down at this particular high school hate our department and other school district employees. He said he's had 6 flat tires in the last year down there and 4 of the times they had nothing wrong with them.

    I'm thankful I didn't get keyed or something, he said some teachers cars down there have been keyed and shit before.

    Shit luck that my first time going down to that school as a full time employee I get my tire deflated.

    He said thats the only school there's a problem with that at... fucking gay. I hate high school kids. Now i have to check over my car to see if it got keyed or some shit

    That's a good point. If my tire were completely flat, I'm not sure if my jack would fit under my car either. LOL

    Could always jack it up in the rear...

    Same thing happened to me shortly after I bought the car. It was fine for the 5 hour drive home, and for the next couple weeks and then I noticed it flat one day. Turned out to be a separated belt....tire is finished.
