Someone shot my brand new CTS-V yesterday!!

I went to visit a friend in a pretty nice part of Bellevue, WA last night where the average home price is 1.5-2 million. I never thought parking in front of his house (very quiet residential neighborhood) would be a concern. Anyway, my wife and I went inside and about 30 minutes later we decided to make a run to the grocery store. Low and behold my passenger side had been shot 3 times with red paintball pellets. The paint washed off easily enough but one of the balls shredded itself in my shiney grill. No damage that I could see but just pisses me off that some jealous punks decided to mess with another man's property. The car is slightly showy but I worked damn hard to get it. Some people just assume everyone with nice things were born with silver spoons in their mouths. Why oh why???

Same thing happened to me a few weeks after I got my CL-S. Little kids are a pain in the ass.

I have a cousin who lives in Kings Point, NY (very wealthy area on LI). They had an issue awhile back with kids doing burnouts on peoples lawns, fucking up the grass.

Rich neck of the woods are not immune from bored/and or jealous teenagers.

Nobody else would shoot paintballs at your car, unless it was personal.

Rich neighbourhoods are the worst. The kids there are the most bored and feel the most sense of entitlement to do whatever they want...

sucks man...really hate to admit this but when i was about 15 i used to do that to cars that I hated..geo trackers were my #1 target...but really any american car for that matter was fair game. me and my buddies really had a hatred for american cars for some reason. i guess we thought it was harmless but looking back, we needed a good beating.

Rich kids doing stupid shit. I remember when i used to live in the ghetto there was crime, but way more respect than where we moved to. Suburban kids think they can get away with anything until they catch a beating or two from some ghetto kids that are moving on up in the world. They used to call me names and talk shit, until i kicked 3 of there asses at the same time. After that they were on my nuts so hard, i became their idol, they dressed and talked like me, it was annoying.

Ugh, on the way to work this morning I got caught behind a gravel truck. I haven't had a chance to get the clear-bra put on yet either!!! I didn't even bother to look for paint chips...it would just ruin my day. Oh well, it's just a car right?

It happens from time to time. My parents' 2004 Lexus RX330 got keyed on two right side door up to the rear quarter panel, took them $700 to fix.
