So I woke up this morning to a nice white key scatch down the driver side of my super black Z. You can imagine how I felt. ( especially after waxing it over the weekend) I have had the Z for 3 months and already have had a nice door ding and now this crap. Has anybody out there had this problem and how much do you think the cost would be to fix a keyed up door???

Man that sucks. I got door dinged hard the other day and my passenger side rear fender looks like someone hit it with a hatchet. I was pretty pissed and I still am...

people who do this should have their hand chopped of.

Hand? Please....try dick. People that are that kind of a degenerate should not be allowed to procreate. I just cant grasp how someone can have the audacity to vandalize someones property like that. Anywho, sorry to hear about this Surf. I hope you can get her fixed. Is the key mark down to the metal or just through the clear coat?

That sux. Some people are such fn jerk offs. I had a show car that I mustve dropped 10Gs into~ some ***** used to constantly break my windows, egg it, break my lights ~ i think he was stalking me cause it seemed to happen everywhere i left it.

Get a Compustar alarm and add a prox sensor. If anyone goes near your car, you will know.

do you have any enemies? Anyone you can think of that might have done this to your car? Maybe someone jeolous?

Sorry to hear, I would be devastated...

What kind of neighborhood are you parking in? Call me ****, but even though I live in a townhouse in a somewhat good neighborhood, I set up a wireless web on my network and set it in my 2nd floor office that over looks our parking spots. I figured hey I already have the network and router installed why not just add a camera? It will record at night in case anything happens. Anyway, I know thats ridiculous, but if some punk kid in the neighborhood gets drunk one night and decides to **** on or key my car, it will take about 15 seconds to have the cops arrest the right guy.

not ridiculous at all, esp when its that convenient...I would do the same.

Does your webcam have some kind of night vision capability? I would be interested in doing something similar at my apartment complex...but I'd be concerned about resolution, the ability to see sufficiently well across the parking lot, and of course the ability to see at night.

What brand do you use?

Ya, I was thinking the same thing. I'd have to find a wireless web cam with some low light or night vision capability. I could pop the camera up in my kitchen window of my condo and have it watch over my Z.

Mine does not have any sort of lowlight capability, this is a very basic one I got at Staples to test and see if the concept would work. I am lucky in that I park right in front of my townhouse and there is a streetlight two spots away. Seems ok so far. There are a couple more tweaks I would like to make, but I believe they do make lowlight cameras.

Here are a couple of articles I bookmarked on lowlight camera tests:

It sucks, and in my case, it is even dumber.
My Z is always in garage, and I hit the driver side rear fender when I open the
door of my other car parked next to my Z.

Sorry to hear that dude, whoever did that should get a bullet right in the middle of their eyes!

I really don't have any enemy's that I know of except an ex-girlfriend or two, but I'm sure it was some jealous drunk ***. I park in a nice apartment complex in a nice neighborhood so I guess i'm going to have to look at some alarm systems or the camera thing. The key mark looks like it's down to the primer.....i don't wish it on anyone.

samery2k

that sucks dude- if you find out who it is, you should leave a permanent key mark on their face... j/k.. ok no.. seriously.. bring pain... lots of it..

Mine was keyed on the drivers door last weekend, down to the metal. Took it in today to get it resprayed, a nice $400 dollar kick in the *****. I hope this is the first and only time this happens to me, because if it does happen again im going berzerk.

samery2k

to the metal huh? that absolutely sucks- happened on my Mazda 6 2 months ago; the bodyshop guys said "dude, someone was really pissed off at you; thats pure hurtful"

if someone does that to my z when i get it, i think i'd be pissed... but it could be a lot worse... a friend of mine got the windshield wipers ripped off his 05 Z by some random guy outside a club...


we found out who it was though... lets just say superglue can do miracles...
