It's because other people are jealous *******s and since they can't have anything nice no one else can either. I absolutely despise those kind of people. If you're not content with what you have then you better start making some changes in your life and stop messing with other people's stuff.

It happens, for some odd reason it happens a lot with these cars. Mine has been keyed twice so far, once while bone stock, then once later on.

You paid an unfortunate price for most Z owners being complete douchebags that think they know it all and drive a Ferrari. Sorry man that sucks. All you need to do is look at this forum now compared to 2006 and it is no where near the same type of people that used to be here driving these cars.

I like the camera idea, most places have cameras but insurance would probably need to request it. They did it for a family member who got hit in a Quick Stop parking lot. Insurance company got the footage and went after the person. Good luck man I would be heated.

Now, let me ask this, if you double park in a parking lot and you are about 30 spots away from the closest car, would that be considered "parking like a douche?" I do not normally do this, but I HATE when I park far away and when I come back 2 or 3 cars are parked close to me.

Yes, it's still parking like a douche. If you park outside the lines, you may as well paint a target on your car.

A very valid point...2006 forum members.
Actually,370 owners are where we were in 2006.
Look at the posts now.So many new owners are ex Civic guys now
being able to afford their Z dream car.2003-2004 Z's are going for bargain prices.Unfortunately,some of the recent questions posed on this forum
show the lack of general car understanding from these noobs.
It embarassing...
With the 370,not as many used ones out there.Prices are still high.
Also,not as many guys wanting to mod them.When themarket gets flooded
with used 370's out of warranty,the new Z platform coming out,it'll be
mod time for the 370.

Damn the only other thing I can think of is someone didn't appreciate your driving and decided to follow you and then key up your car. Like you accidentally cut someone off. or someone has beef with you. but seems like a high school thing to do to key up someones car. If youre in hs, maybe someone doesnt like you and your car. I knew people in hs that were like that, pieces of *****.

I hate to believe that someone walked by and decided to key a random car for no reason. but some people are dicks
