call a tow company they’ll eat that up
No I’m pretty sure they’d just tow it away
OP needs to call Robosaurus
A tire valve stem removal tool is a few dollars.
A knife is way better and u probably already have one
Knife is not way better, it’s actually a pretty dangerous way to deflate a tire.
Four nice sturdy nails placed strategically, pointy end up, immediately behind each tyre. Be content to know that justice will come when the time is right.
Make sure to put them on the corner of the tire, then it won’t be repairable and they it will need a new tire.
Strike-anywhere match heads are ~⅛" wider than the space between the pin and collar of said valves, and are far cheaper. The slow leak is nearly imperceptible — until all wheels are flat simultaneously. 🫠
I love reminding Dodge drivers that the Chinese CCP owns it and RAM name. Not because that is bad or anything it’s just that most RAM drivers are also racists so that helps rile em up.
Actually, things have changed a bit.
Stellantis is the company that came about from the merger of the Italian–American conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the French PSA Group.
After the merger, the main owners were
- Agnelli family (Exor): 14.40%
- Peugeot family (Etablissements Peugeot Frères, EPF): 7.19%
- Bpifrance: 6.18%
- Dongfeng Motor Corporation: 4.5%
So, it would seem it’s not correct to say that Dodge or RAM is owned by the CCP. It’s more Italian and French than it is Chinese…
I’ve been told many times that China controls Reddit and that’s a 5% stake, so …
I’m a RAM driver who’s considered attaching Federation of Planets flags to my flatbed in order to make fun of trucks with American flags on them.
Better than the “Let’s go Brandon” banners I see on most of the pickups around here.
I actually saw a lifted pickup this week, plastered with a half dozen “student driver” stickers, a let’s go Brandon sticker covering his entire rear window, and a giant AR-15 sticker on the side.
Driver looked like he was 15 years old too!
Brand new Raptor, no plates
Throw nails in the parking spot. Then tell neighbor about someone putting nails. Gain neighbors trust and ask politely to move the truck.
OR, and hear me out, throw nails in neighbor’s face. Offer to drive neighbor to the ED, then say, “Aw, I can’t. I’m blocked in.” Edit: Forgot /s.
Best solution i’ve seen here by far.
You just do nails in my face!
No I didn’t that was someone else, I’m a different person
How do we know it isn’t OP deliberately blocking neighbor?
Have them towed. The several hundred dollar fee to get their truck out of the impound might impart a lesson.
Garages aren’t always large enough to allow tow truck access.
There was that one issue where a Tesla broke down in a garage and the owner incurred thousands of dollars in fines but nobody could remove the car because the ceiling and ramps were too small.
Sounds like you need a referral for a towing company
Many won’t tow out of garages like this because there isn’t enough vertical height.
Just request a wheel lift and not a rollback.
So, legal question. In this situation, obviously you document it like this, but then would you be in the clear to push it out of the way somehow in a typical jurisdiction? Usually the law allows you certain extra rights when your stuff or person is trapped by someone else’s usual legal rights. For example, if your property is surrounded by that of another person they can’t stop you from passing through.
I reckon in an emergency you could make a case, otherwise call property mgt and get it towed.
My guess based on nothing is that these guys know each other, might be roommates
Omg they were roommates?
Yep, all of the evidence they don’t know about points to it
Good enough for me!
Case closed boys, let’s wrap it up!
Bake’em away toys!

Ok hear me out, if this is an apartment parking garage, then spots assigned to the same address would be more likely to be next to each other, plus there’s so much risk of someone fucking up your car if you pull this shit, my guess is they know each other and one person is fucking with the other.
That’s my theory.
You could be right, the truck driver could also be an asshole lol.
I was assuming it’s an actual neighbor, who has some kind of beef with OP.
Cool way to get me to break every window on your shitty truck.
Maybe that is the trick. Set up a camera and record. Now they have footage of you commiting several crimes.
All it takes is a big hat and sunglasses and maybe a covid mask and they can’t prove it was you.
Alright
no shit the offender drives a pavement princess pickup truck
Considering I don’t see a lift kit, expanded exhaust, and giant low-profile tires; this just looks like a regular pickup truck to me. The luster on the paint is even a little faded, so it’s getting old. Driver is just an asshole here. Probably a shitty driver, since the rear bumper is hanging at an angle.
No you don’t understand everyone who drives a pickup is bad no matter what fuckcars told me so
dude, a pickup truck is terrible no matter how you qualify it, they’re needlessly huge and have barely any cargo space, they’re just objectively bad in every single way.
there is no use case where a pickup truck is better than something like a kei truck, they even come in actually usefully lifted versions that would traverse offroad environments better since they’re lighter.
Are you seriously saying a fucking kei truck is more useful than a pickup?
You’ve never done a day of blue collar work and it shows. That chintzy little JDM truck can’t do half of what America’s work force needs.
Yeah, that’s an insane comment. I regularly tow an 8,500 lbs trailer with my pickup and regularly haul 2,000 lbs of pellets for our stove in it. Sometimes I tow the trailer with an additional 500 lbs of stuff in the bed of the pickup. I seriously doubt a kei truck - which aren’t even available here in the US - could handle either of those tasks.
Yeah, the post reads like someone who’s never done any manual labor in their life.
I’m their mind pickup trucks were being used to haul paper and poster board to their office job. Hahahahaha
And let’s face it, there are quite a few pickups around that have never hauled anything. But to claim they can’t haul anything is just bizarre.
Agreed. My argument is not that pickups are also owned and not used to their full potential.
My argument is that pickup trucks are the affordable workhorse of America. You can pickup a cheap second hand truck and beat the shit out of it while getting the job done.
Need to demolish a concrete structure at a customers house and dispose of it cheaply? Have you workers toss the rubble into the bed of your $5000 f150 to dispose of yourself. You wouldn’t want to do the same into a vans cargo space with all your tools.
Most work trucks in America tow a trailer full of tools and other materials that can’t get messed up, that’s why it’s really handy to have a bed attached to the truck for waste or extra tools.
Unless you’re talking about towing other cars and carrying entire trees yea a kai probably wouldn’t make the cut but for furniture transportation fire wood mail delivery and mulch transportation are all things that take way less horsepower than you think hell even with car towing I’ve done with a dinky little 4 wheeler from the 80s if a atv can do all the things I mentioned a kai can absolutely accomplish them and you don’t take up soo much space when you take your haul through the city the reason everyone hates full size pickups is because soo many people just use them to get groceries and nothing more
It’s good as a shop truck sure. But most American CARS have double the payload weight of a kei.
They have a place, but what I was responding to was nonsense. Pickup trucks are a necessity for tons of work. A lot of crews doing different work haul trailers full of their tools and material.
so what’s so magical about the US that people need pickups there but not in the rest of the world? If you need to haul tools you have a van, which can carry a vastly larger volume without getting things wet.
I’m not going to sit here and argue workforce necessities with you.
Your statement was false, that’s it. Pickup trucks are an immutable necessity for the vast majority of workers in America.
Cope harder.
there is no use case where a pickup truck is better than something like a kei truck
I like the mini-trucks like the Kei, they are practical and useful for light loads around town. What they don’t do is heavy loads and / or long distances.
So here’s a “use case” where my full sized American pickup truck is required. Several times in the last 6 months I’ve pulled a triple axle trailer weighing 12,000lbs (5,440 kilograms) a distance of 200 miles (320 kilometers) at an elevation of 6,000 feet (1,828 meters) ). Assuming the weight didn’t collapse the rear axle or buckle the frame on a Kei then trying to actually pull the weight would certainly destroy the transmission and / or engine.
If you want to discuss “cargo space” then ALL pickups, including the Kei, suck. Holding cargo internally is what van bodies are for, not pickup bodies. This why city based tradesman the world over drive chassis with van bodies.
So called “Off Road” is a whole different can of worms, nearly no one really does it (even if they think they do) and I’d submit that NO mass produced pickup is truly suited for it as real Off Roading is done with vehicles specialized for the terrain they are working in.
Mini-trucks are great at what they’re meant for but they aren’t meant for everything.
If you live in a village and don’t have to haul much weight or drive far, sure, kei trucks make sense. I definitely saw them around Germany and France. In the US, everything is spread out. Also, kei trucks aren’t widely available in the US, and certainly not as much as Pickup trucks. Pickup trucks are also designed with use as a daily driver, since most people buying one will have that as their only vehicle. For someone with a great need of one, it’s both a highway vehicle and an off-road capable vehicle with high ground clearance. It’s a truck that will let you tow a trailer full of equipment one day and make that 50-mile commute to work the next.
Use an hydraulic jack (every car should have one in the trunk) to lift the rear axle of the truck as high as you can, then push it, now you can proceed to get out of the parking spot
What kind of cars do you buy that every one comes with a hydraulic jack?
I’m not saying they come with the car, I’m saying that every car should have one. If you have a car and you don’t own an hydraulic jack (or a device to lift your car to change a tire) then go and buy one.
Which developing countries specifically does this recommendation apply to?
TBF, it’s still going to cost less than the car did. I don’t know, maybe it’s cheaper to write the day off and get a someone else to do it for a fee in your specific situation, though.
TBF = To Be Frank or To Be Fair??? BIG GRUMPY!
Why the hell should we care to impersonate Frank?
👏 this guy’s asking the real questions here.
Because otherwise it might seem weird to offer people an egg for trying times
Fair is what I meant. Good to know there’s ambiguity for the future.
Good to know there’s ambiguity for the future.
Could you be more specific?
Whomst art thou, frank?!?!?!?!?!!
To be fair, you seem to be grumpy.
To be GRUMPY, you seem fair.
I have yet to own a car that didn’t come with a tire jack. Pretty sure they are built with every car.
They’re not not hydrolic though, usually they use a sort of screw mechanism
All right, a car jack, every car should have a device to lift it.
I’m old school, I make my wife lift my car when she has to change the tire.
I store a 5 meter long lever bar and an assistant with steady hands in my trunk.
My girlfriend just stores me wearing handcuffs in the trunk alone. Regular Thursday.
2 floor jacks with wheels and you can put that truck wherever you want. Even better spend about $150 at Harbor Freight for 2 sets of wheel dollies and you can roll it right out to the street. That’s extra fun if it’s an above ground garage with a curved ramp.
Move it in front of the accessible parking space and contact parking enforcement. Then watch him get a $500 ticket
While you’re at it, might as well swivel his truck’s rear end behind the column so he can’t get out.
one with wheels on it, right? Maybe important to note
No I think the idea is to lift it up real high and then just knock it over. It’ll move the car damage it too sure but who gives a shit
Yeah, pretty much this.
The car is over the line. Contact your condo board with a picture. If this is a one time thing, he may have been drunk on too many beers.
Oh well it’s alright then as long as he was drunk driving. I would hate to think that he was sober when he did it that would be terrible.
Of courses, because it demonstrates intent. I didn’t say it was alright.
One of the problems with revenge (deflating the tires, keying, etc.) is that there’s nothing stopping the neighbor from doing it right back the next day.
Yeah, if you want them to stop you’ve got to kill them
Ah, the Ender Wiggin solution.
This does work 100% btw. Can have minor side effects tho.
“An eye for an eye” leaves the whole world with a body shop repair bill.
You just do it like 3 weeks later. They’ll have no idea.
