Well guys, its been fun reading but...
 

my X is no more. This past Saturday, i was the victim of a carjacking. After a little tussle with the guy, this is the result. I was at a car wash standing right next to the car, when this young prick had the balls to jump in and try to pull off! I guess he didnt know how to drive an automatic, because he put it in neutral, hit the gas and went nowhere. I opened the door, grabbed him by his hair and neck, and tried to rip his head off! This is when he found the drive gear, and floored it dragging me about 50ft before i let go. The guy drove directly across the street into a telephone pole, wrecked my car, jumped out and into another car with 3 of his people and sped away. Understand that by no means did I try to save the car, it was just the principal and a reaction I never dreamed i would have. I am not rich, just a small business owner that works his a$$ of for everything he has. This car and everything in it did not come easy to me, so I'll be damned if anyone takes it from me that way. I got a few burns, scrapes, and bruises from the drag, but mission accomplished. My X is not M.I.A., but still in sight until i send her off. I know what I did was dangerous in so many ways and would not advise this type of action. Although i would understand it completely. Anyways, this forum has been very helpful from the pics, to the stories, to the tutorials and members. Good luck guys. As for tomorrow, Im going to pick up a "new to me" 2007 M6 coupe. I'll try to post pics soon. Thanks again

oh no! Sorry for your loss. Hope you are feeling better.
I wish you prosperity :thumbup:

Wow! :wow: Of course the best news is that you were not more seriously injured. I'm not going to second guess your reaction and appreciate your comments about it. We never really know what we'll do until the situation arises.

Your X looks awful and it is a shame. (Although there are lots of parts that can be salvaged.) She was a beauty but you're on to a different sort of beauty. Best of luck with it and don't be a stranger.

That is terrible!

I think you will be feeling better in no time in your M6!!

Good on you mate... I'm sure you scared the crap out of the hoodlum, pitty you didn't actually rip his head off. If more of us had the courage to fight back there would be less of this car jacking nonsense to contend with...

wow, how sad... most important thing is that you'r ok, so, don't worry. good reactions by the way :) as for car it looks poor :( but you'll have fun with M6.


:iagree:

and i whould still love to get that X of yours. :)))

Too bad they didn't catch these Mofos. What color were these thieves? I would love to be on a special law enforcement team that brutally murders people like this. No mercy. Goodluck with your m6

Good lord, that front rim is down to the hub, insane, glad ur ok!

How awful!Really sorry to hear about this.I am sure you feel better for your actions and although the X5 is "dead",..your bravery ,made sure they didnt take away.I have to agree with whats been said here!These bast***s,wreclking what people worked very hard for,should be shot...painfully!

Really bad experience for you ,I am sure,but I wish all the best with the M6.

Jeez, I hope they flip the car they got away with into a lake or something... I'm sure the X will be missed, but that M6 is a beauty of a beast and I'm sure it will be love at first drive.

But look at it this way, at least you're getting retail worth for your X5 through insurance vs trying to sell it in the future.
