Driving a CL = Bad Luck?

So last night someone keyed my car and of course I didn't notice it until this morning because I have a NBP. I'm so pissed that people still go around doing this shit.

I've had this car for about 2 years or less and it has already got hit in the bumper where someone was parked too close, fat dent on the driver side door from someone trying to do a 3-point-turn, side-swiped in a gas station and now this.

I wish these people could get caught so I can just smash their faces in. Man I'm so pissed I feel like going around town just keying up everyones car so they can feel my pain! Bitches...

It's the same mentality of having a nice pair of sunglasses vs. a cheap pair.

you can never seem to hold onto the nice pair and keep them from breaking. but the cheap pair, you can never seem to get rid of.

aggravation like that comes with the territory of having a nice car.

Yeah I feel your PAIN... The first couple of years I owned this car I loved her, and cared for her soo much and it always was crashed or dented and every accedent I had with the car was NOT my fault.. Now that the car is 78 years old and has 150+K miles I dont give 2 Sh!ts about it and now that i drive it like i stole it it has not been in one accedent or damaged in any way!

Trust me I choose where I park as well but somehow assholes always end up everywhere. We need something that comes out of our sideskirts. Like when someone malaciously messes with your car something deploys and breaks your legs. Oooh yeah

not to add insult to injury, but i'm sure that "asian driver" license plate frame isn't helping anything...

i agree with Lippstuh though, park wisely. Sorry about the keying.

As far as the scratch I'm going to try to use same rubbing compound to get it out. I had a big scratch from a bad bumper check. Someone parked to close to me and hit me. That rubbing compound and a little sand paper got most of it out

That sucks. Used to happen to my black old GS-R a lot, especially at the movies so I know how it feels. But in the big scheme of things a scratch 'aint so bad. Go work off some steam on the heavy bag. Might come in hand if you ever catch some vandal bastard. Goodluck w/ the compound and the buffer.

Thanks for the offer for the meguiars. I used the rubbing compound and the cuts are too deep. I just went ghetto fabulous and used filler paint. It looks crappy but a whole lot better than white lines everywhere. If you're going to the meet this saturday, you'll see what im talking about
