Lets re-think about parking too far away..

Car got keyed today at work :(. Remember the park away from other cars rule? Yeah, it got me. I was kinda busy at work and wasn't able to see the guy next to my car. I thought he was just admiring it like every other car that stops by. 30 mins later he walks out, order food then gets back and drives off. I'm getting ready to put stuff back to the car when I found it all scratched at passenger side. Grr Angry face!! Jealous mofo, I still have the scratch on the Z, but I still have the Z! Pics later when i'm free. I don't even wanna drive it anymore.

File a police Report. Your works Insurnce may cover it and find the guy and kill him

Red__Zed 01-04-2011 11:48 PM

Sorry to hear that man.

mick 01-04-2011 11:48 PM

what a co-worker :eek:

Trips 01-04-2011 11:52 PM

Sorry to hear theirs pieces of shit!! people
That would do this :shakes head:

LuckyJinx 01-04-2011 11:56 PM

yeah, I want to file the report, but Dad doesn't want me to. Says it'll take too long. He's helping me buff it out. His "secret" on buffing out is soft sponge and dawn soap lol, which is working well. its almost out, but he's tired; and a great dad. Don't know what I'll do without him. Thanks guys.

steveg78 01-04-2011 11:58 PM

That's F*CKED up man! That seriously gets my blood boiling! I drove my Z to work today for the first time in over a month. Parked way out in the lot and went to lunch with a co-worker (he drove). On the way back in I notice a contractor van practically kissing my front end; totally unnecessary to park directly next to me AND that close. There is ALWAYS that idiot out there. So I tell my coworker to stop and let me out. I walk over to my car and notice the guy is sitting in his van on the phone. So I purposely walk between our two cars and I literally had to side step to get between our cars. I made sure to face him and give him a look. I then started her up, took a quick cruise and then parked it away and next to some handicapped spots where nobody parks yet (new building, lot is not full anyway).

I don't get why someone has to vandalize a car just for spite or jealousy and I would probably flip a lid and go FIGHT or FLIGHT and lose all concern for myself if I ever saw anyone in the act of doing this to my car.

I'd let a professional detailer buff it out, and make it look like new if the scratches are superficial?
No disrespect intended towards your Dad :tiphat:

Yeah, Dad said the same thing, its just to make it less noticeable and a bit cheaper. Now its like 3 fair scratches.

mick 01-05-2011 12:06 AM

when i park at the company, i would park close to the area where the ceo would park. i figure that is the safest place :)

Jamaica 01-05-2011 12:07 AM

da,mm sucks....doesnt looks like you can watch out.

djpathfinder 01-05-2011 01:12 AM

I feel for you bro, that's total BS! Well check out some of the Junkman posts and videos on youtube for some good tips. If there are a few scratches left you might want to try a product called Quixx. Worked well for me. With a little elbow grease you might be able to get rid of the rest of the scuffs for next to nothing. Good luck.

WarmAndSCSI 01-05-2011 01:20 AM

What kind of ball-less asshole would do that?

My Evo has had two nasty key marks, and even my wife's Z got keyed. People are f*cking jerks. I've never ever door dinged somebody's car, yet alone intentionally keyed one....

Don't f*ck with a man's car. If you do, you deserve to die. End of story.

That's a bummer about the scratches!
But I'm giving you a rep point, for the positive statements you said about your dad!:tup:

Snakes709 01-05-2011 01:55 AM

no offence but i would disregard your fathers advice and file a police report and try and track this sucker down, check video tapes of surrounding buildings

IMWEZL 01-05-2011 05:17 AM

My car used to get messed with a lot here in Korea. I filled a police report and even had CCTV the local police didn't do anything. So one night I caught the focker pissing on my hood. I ran downstairs and whipped the **** out of him. Ever since then I haven't had a problem.

ImportConvert 01-05-2011 05:50 AM

I hate trash, and living in the south, I see a lot of it. If you DD a sports car, you are going to get messed with sooner or later. Lots of people here are poor and they are bitter.

USMCASA 01-05-2011 06:37 AM

thats why i carry my glock with me for and a pocket knife which the car defacer would obviously be trying to kill me with lol

Junior370z 01-05-2011 08:32 AM

Man that's Messed up! It's hard to avoid those types of people no matter where you go. If they really want to do something they'll still do it! Bunch of cowards!

kenchan 01-05-2011 09:45 AM

wow that sucks. :mad: karma will get him...

as for the damage, you can file a police report if your insurance recommends it. otherwise get that fixed under comprehensive damage. unless there were multiple cars that got keyed police probably wont have the time to get around to it in most cases.

One_Quick_Z 01-05-2011 10:00 AM

sooooo....in asia, cars don't get keyed, they get peed on? that's a new one :rofl2:

m4a1mustang 01-05-2011 10:40 AM

That sucks.

Take pics of the TT setup!

flashburn 01-05-2011 10:43 AM

It's so crazy that there are people out there that do **** like this. I can't ever think of a time where I was jealous enough of another persons car that I'd want to damage it. Well, I never get jealous anyway, just admire the ones I can't have.

OP- i think it's time you change your handle(name) too. i think it had something to do with this. :D ;)

ClemsonWill 01-05-2011 01:46 PM

That scks! Sorry to hear about your car. I would definitely file a police report. Good luck with everything!

And they don't like the fact you are driving an import. They think you should be driving american even though alot of them are combined made here and there and they don't like japanese things cuz it reminds them that they are dumber and they are still not over world war II cuz they think they were alive during that period fighting the Jap invasion. But somehow they all manage to have PS3s......

Cunnos 01-05-2011 03:19 PM

dude that sucks, honestly though your insurance will cover it and any reputable body shop can blend that right back to its original state. Good luck

I carry, too, but be very careful about it. If you shoot someone, you may be cleared criminally, but will still likely face civil suite, which averages about 6-8K to defend against in my state, for justifiable homocide.

Jeffblue 01-05-2011 03:31 PM

You definitely should call the cops. If there was evidence such as video or eyewitnesses then he can be prosecuted.

wilsonp 01-05-2011 06:53 PM

Who would file a civil suit? ;)

We need the Robocop security option on our cars - I figure a future hybrid Z will have plenty of power to feed to the body :D

Ghost 01-05-2011 07:06 PM

Actually, AAA suggests that you park close to wherever you are. You risk people hitting your car when they open their door, but its the safest place to park. Park where there are a lot of people walking by, where you/people can clearly see your car.

Plus, personally, I think you risk looking like a douche when you park far off on its own. No offense.

Families almost always sue, and every dirt-bag has family that comes out of NOWHERE once they end up dead and their family thinks they can milk it. Did they not cover all the liabilities involved in actually killing someone when you took your CCW course?

sonic370 01-05-2011 07:49 PM

no need to carry not worth shooting the xxs hole....

it sounds crazy but i hear woman are now carrying a small can of wasp spray instead of pepper spray. it will spray from 20 feet away. one hit of that stuff in the face will get the job done.

PapoZalsa 01-05-2011 08:16 PM

That SUCKS!!!

frost 01-05-2011 08:24 PM

A lot of times I think maybe I shouldn't carry my gun for reasons like this, because if I caught the guy doing it, there's no telling how that would end for him. Then I'd spend life in jail for murdering some fuckin idiot.
