People just have to be as*es.

I feel for ya.

Some prick got his kicks. Sad thing is that if it's some punk kid, his parents will merely make excuses for his behavior and not solve the problem.

It was probably Nina Meyers.



I'm really sorry about your car. I think I'd probably kill anyone I caught doing something like that.

Got the whole passenger's side keyed on my A4 couple years ago and I definitely know how it feels. Sorry to hear. I'd have to assume that the scatch is fairly deep since that someone keyed your car to "damage" it with quite a bit of force. It will most likely need to be repainted.

I know how had sad that is to see. I (not meaning to) keyed my car from the passenger back door to the back of the trunk. Don't ask how - but I knew I had done it after it was done

Very sad. Mio, if it's not deep you can take care with a good buffer and filler like ScratchX and then polishing /waxing. Hope it's not deep to primar.

I totally feel your pain as my '06 TL was just recently keyed from the driver's side all the way to the gas cap. And guess how much it costed to fix? Almost $1800. I had to go through my insurance so I only pay $500 out of pocket as deductible. And I only had the car for 3 months at the time.

I'm really sorry to hear about your car. It happened to my WRX a few years ago and cost a lot to get fixed. Make sure you take it to a really good shop so that the paint is matched correctly.

I don't know if it is a hater, but I'm sure it must be a fag!

I asked the manager there if they got any video camera in the parking lot,

they do have some cameras, but none of them in my spot...

I think it total sucks that people show their jealousy by damaging other people's personal property. Suggesting that the person that keyed your car is gay or a fag is not really appropriate. I can assure you that there are a number of members on this site (including myself) that find that offensive. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with whether a person has morals or not. At 34 y/o, you are old enough to not make comments like 'gay' or 'fag'.

Very sorry to hear about your car. I hope you can fix it without too much expense.

Maybe there's more to the story than Mio has shared with us.


Genuinely sorry about your car though
