Default Another keyed car :(

So i pick my car up from the shop after a new JWT flywheelk install and everything goes great. Car drives wonderfuly. I park it go inside and come back 30 minutes later to find 7 deep key marks all the way down my rear quaterpanel. So deep they went through the primer and into the actual body work.I wanted to throw up. God i wish i could catch that ashole and beat the crap out of him. So i took it for an estimate ($400) and while i was there i decided to add tint and a candy clear coat paint job for my CF hood.

Screw the haters, while im fixing that i will add to the beauty of my ride.

it happens...really sorry to hear but now you'll be more consious about things like that. when my car got keyed i was self aware of people i might have cut off, where i park (if it was readily visible), how i parked (if i took up too much space for the driver of another car to exit), and who i'd pissed off recently (ex-gfs...LOL)

thats the thing. I havent pissed anybody off that i know off and i park normal and very far away since im afraid of dorr dings. I honestly think its an old employee i had to fire. Or maybe one i disciplined, or random hatred. Either way im not going to give them the satisfaction of stewing over it. Im taking it in on monday for the re-spray.

PS Yeah i do drive pretty fast but i never get flipped off or honked at so i dont think its that bad.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to get one of those things like the batmobile has. Some armor that comes out when I park it. I got a massive door ding on my back pass. side wheel well and I'm still mad everytime I see my car.

People should know that what goes around comes around....if the stupid guy thinks its ko0l to key your car then he should expect the same respect from someone else later down the line. I've learned to be a nice driver and always park where you feel its safe due to these kind of situations. it would boil my blood too to see someone destroy something that means a lot to a person. Best of luck with the repairs and i hope you do find that jerkface!!!

My Z is pretty modded and i take great care of it so maybe both or one of the other. Its obvious to anyone who sees my car that it is loved. Always waxed, aftermarket rims hood exhaust etc.

Jeez man, I'm sorry. Glad to hear you're making the most out of it though. I had my car keyed before, so I know exactly how you feel.

The car looks too hot, paint the hood. ANY car that attracts too much attention will be screwed with.

I saw your post in the Texas forum after I replied to this post earlier. Sorry that you won't make it. Next time.

That hood is nice. I may need to get a vented hood. My engine bay is a scorcher.
