Default why keys and z's don't mix...

SOMEONE KEYED MY Z!!!

So my Z is sitting outside my house minding its own business when some **** (insert bad words here) keyed my Z!

Z's at the shop getting re-painted... Cost me $500 and a phone call to my insurnce... Thank god my rates are not going up.

I'm loading the pics now will post em in about 20 minutes...

YEAH i'm pissed off... Its been a hell of a week... Computer crashed, puppy had to be rushed to the emergency vet because she ate something she shouldn't have, now the Z...

But it could have been worse, at meast they didnt dent it, bash in a window or take anything from it...

But I feel a super sensative alarm in my near future... LOL

sorry to hear what happened. i don't know if having a really sensitive alarm will help because when i use to have my G, it got keyed and i got a paging alarm and everything but all it did was annoy my neighbors. if someone stood next to the car, it would chirp and if you didn't move away after that, it would go off. btw..i live next to a high school so it's pretty bad. that's why my Z is in the garage.

Shoot, I wouldn't mind someone keying my car. I need a new $3000 paint job for $500 bux. They had best key it right though, not do some amateur crap that can be touched up.

For real , whats up with all the hate n' on the Zs. On Monday some kid with a sling shot got my windshield. Not sure if he was just being a punk slinging rocks at cars or what but it still got me. At first I thought it was another car kicking up a rock but from the corner of my eye I saw a kid jump on his bike and when I got a better look I saw the slingshot. I was in traffic and there was a center divider so I couldn't give chase. Even if I would have got the kid nothing I could do or else I would get arrested and on the 10 o' clock news. Now I need a good windshield shop that uses OEM windshield.

So had to laugh a little bit... I told the guy at the body shop my car was dirty and he told me "you call that dirty?" Its SMB and the yellow dust and pollen rinning around stucks to the finger prints....

So here is the Z on Sat...





Here is the Z how I found it this morning...
(Rear fender) can't really see it in the pic but you can face to face...


Right side door...
most of the door could be buffed out, except i spot...



Right front fender...





And honestly if my alaro goes off from people standing next to it I don't care... This is the 3rd car that had been messed with in front of my house... So I think it is one of the neighbors... Funny part about it is the dude at the end of the street has a Z too... But his is in the garage AND in a car cover... LOL

ah yea as Chris said my Z was keyed about a week ago as well. Apparently for vandalism the deductible is only $100 dollars. The whole driver side was keyed from the rear panel to the front fender and 6 deep lines on the trunk hatch.

Got the Z back yesterday... The side that was keyed got repainted and the whole car got buffed. Sad to say it but Nissan paint SUCKS... I think in a few weeks yhe Z might get keyed again on the other side... LOL JUST KIDDING!

The Nissan paint has orange peel and the new paint is flawless...

Oh yeah I changed the Nissan bedges on the front bumper and trunk to a Z... ITS HOT!

Now the car is getting an alarm installed... LOL

The really anoying kind! So that way when it in front of my parents house i'll know if it gets messed with... That seems to be the only problem area... LOL

Can't wait to get it back...

You know From the time I bought the car I have only ever driven it for a week at a time... Never had the car more the 7 days... LOL
