Why do ppl do this?
Had some vandals in our parking lot last night...they got a couple of cars, including mine...like I have an extra $400 to get my Fing hood re-painted...
The police caught them though, so we'll see what happens with that...
Seriously...people that do this to cars should have thier fingers cut off...I can't wait 'til I get a copy of the police report...hopefully it will have some names on it, so I can figure out who's gas tanks need to be sealed up with 2 ton epoxy.

I'm glad they caught em.
Stuff like this ticks me off. My ex keyed my car once, and she never got caught for it.

I can understand you are upset but it is just a car. Being that they were caught I'm sure they were kids, so you can have the parents pay for it. Your insurance should cover that right?

Meh I have a $500 deductable for this, and they quoted me something like $400 to fix it, but I have a friend that has a body shop who looked at it and said he'd do it for $200 if I can wait 'til after Thanksgiving...
I was just kidding about the epoxy on the gas cap bit...the building manager said there were 4 vandals aged 18-21, and I'm still waiting for the police to get ahold of me. I'm just not going to park it outside anymore...the more little things I add to the car, the more it catches people's eyes, and the bigger target it becomes for this sort of crap. I'll feel better once she's tucked away in the hangar instead of left sitting out on the flight deck all night. It will get fixed, and they'll fix a couple of little rock chips that were already there...it could have been ALOT worse.

My hood looks like that from just a broken snow brush. I didn't realize it had a jagged edge last winter and now I have some lovely pinstriping in my clear coat. Anyhow, vandalize their asses when you find them!

The body shop I took my car to had a black Lambo sitting there ready to be re-painted because someone scratched "BITCH" onto the hood.

Man I would have been pissed had that happened to my car period, but if someone did it to my 300K Lambo I would make whoever did it get out there and lick the car clean after I took it through some snow lol.

But if you could afford a 300k lambo, you probably wouldn't complain about the repair bill
