Well, My car was vandalised last night around 7 pm Eastern time. I went to Fill a prescription at the local grocery store for my little girl. In 15 minutes, some punk Keyed my entire Driver side, from right under the Rear view mirron to the back quarter panel up to near the rear tail lights. And on the passenger side, they dented it right on the body line..... I took it to the body shop looks like its around 2 grand worth of damage or so they say, i really think its less however because its going through insurance im guessing they jacked the price up....

Be careful guys, theirs lots of jealous people out their, that just cant see other people with nice things....

Sorry to hear. I get upset when I see a ding on my car. I can't imagine getting keyed.

I believe this, "what goes around, comes around"

My car got keyed, too. Two lines. One deep, one light.
Sorry to hear that and I can feel your pain. Luckily that my car is Alpine white, so it's very hard to see from 1m.

yeah guys, Its really stupid how people get something outa doing this to others....

Im taking it to a place called european autobody, My dealer only deals with them for body work so i trust they will do a good job... Its funny because they said they will probably have to repaint the 2 doors and the rear quarter panel, all from just a stupid Key scratch, granted it is pretty deep, but i feel as if my car has been raped... I was so anal about getting dings or scrapes now this happens... LoL....

What can yah do, at the end of the day its already happened.... Just gotta move on.. guess its the price you pay for having a nice car..

It doesn't matter how small the scratch. If it requires a paint job, they must do the whole panel. Like I said, I learned it in the hard way.

Anyone who does this sort of nonsense is a complete w*nker.

Still no-ones hurt & you've still got a nice car so it aint all bad.

Totally feel you man. Let me put it this way...
1. My mirrors got stolen TWICE. (just the glasses).
2. Car found a bit scratched on a parking lot on the rear bumper.
3. Tonight when i drove home on a 2 lane road, cutting a bit the rush hour, a jeep of some sort, mitshubishi i think that was coming the other way, i dunno how, it threw a rock from the rear wheels or so, a rock bigger than my fist, almost twice as big, to my front umper with such force that it dented the front bumper to the plastic, didn't crack it but it dented the plastic, then the stone went in the air...rolled in the air, i slameed the brakes hard when i heared and saw it, but it went down to my hood with such force and spinning that it scratched my hood half a palm and made a little whole distorting the structure, and then from the hood went on my windshield and luckily it hadn't so much force to crack it or dent it. I braked hard to a stop put the hazard lights, got down to throw a quick look and then i went after the guy but unfortunately he made a right turn or left turn and dissapeared. Didn't have a time to even have a look ath the car, not to mention number plates or stuff. :'( Now i've got an injured car that will have to go to the bodyshop. :'( I've always feared this.
So in the end...trust me that overall i know how you feel. So many jackass and evil people on this world...
