Sorry to hear about your car, pisses you off when you hear stories like that. Back in 1990 my father had purchased the new 300ZX. It was keyed on 7 seaparate occastions and re-painted 4 times. The whole car at one point was keyed, hood, both drivers and passenger doors, and hatch. It wasn't even one key mark, it was multiple ones. It really sucks when you work your ass off for something and some dumb shit has to F it up. What color was your car??

Higher end cars should hav cams that go on when pressure sensors in the doors are activated, keying, dooring, theft, etc.

let's all come together and pray for the horrible, painful, bloody mutilation of the person who did this to your car and of anyone who has the disgusting human nature to do this to anyone's car.

A crime such as this should get the death penalty. I am not even joking. Why? Because the type of person that would key someone else's car is most probably a psychopath in other aspects of his/her life and is only a nuisance to society.

That really pisses me off man, I hope it never happens to your car again or to anyone else's car.

I worked so hard for my TL and I work hard every month to pay for it and take care of it, and for someone to damage something that I appreciate, thats just pure evil.

I look at it this way... things have a way of coming back to you, be they good or ill. The longer it takes, the worse it usually is

Went out to lunch today with my bosses, my TL has been keyed, the whole passenger side. Luckily the scratch is not deep, doesn't look like it went through the clear coat, so hopefully a scratch remover or rubbing compound will do the job.

My friend keyed some Cadillac jack*** the other day. He was driving one of those large Cadillac SUVs. The idiot DOUBLE PARKED in a handicap zone. In other words, he took up TWO handicap parking spaces, when the FU**** wasn't even handicapped. I saw him get out of his car. The worse thing was that there was this elderly handicapped women that needed to park in one of those spaces. I went back to my car, told her she could have my spot, and I parked in BFE.

I don't car who you are, but I thought that he was justified in keying that Caddy. I would have loved to see the look on that guy's face when he saw the marks.

Or your friend could have called the police (or parking division) and have them cite/tow the Cadillac, which would have been a more mature and less vigilante way of dealing with the situation, thus preventing a possible confrontation or other bad situation.

I think someone actually keyed the passenger side of my my roof .. about 4 inches worth. I saw it when I washed my car and knew that it couldn't have been a rock. I guess it COULD have been some sort of tree branch or shrub but I haven't parked underneath one of those since I bought the car.

I took most of it out with Menzerna Final Polish II. Fortunately, due to its location, you can only see it when you are 1) looking for it and, 2) are looking at it from an angle.

Yeah I know. I thought about that after the situation. I would have loved to see that guy's face when his car was GONE. I agree it was stupid and I should have done the mature thing and called the police, but they probably would have laughed at me. I've had that happen before.
