Well, I disagree with not being able to park your car anywhere you damn well please without suffering for it. Next, whenever I park my car next to a vehicle that looks questionable in any way, I jot down the license plate, seriously. Of course, I'm a police officer too, so I'm a little more thorough when it comes to these things. Reminds me of the night I came out of the theatre and saw these two college chicks (no, they weren't hot fellas) trying to get into their car cuz they were locked out. As I approached my brand new 2002 Dodge Stratus, I saw one of the b!tches get mad and throw the hangar down where it bounced and hit my nicely polished black, waxed paint job. I approached, gave the look of death, mutter something along the line of "stupid b!tches" and then broke out my Maglite and started looking for damage. Before all of that though, I burned their license plate into my head in case they tried to pull some $hit over on me. Anyway, word to the wise, keep a notepad and a pen and write down license plates if you have the hunch, or at least park far away and walk to your destination.

One of my mom's clients went down to the states with his wife for a visit and they dropped into a restaurant for lunch then when they returned they saw that that the front of their S400 Mercedes had been keyed unmercifully. They think it was cause some punks knew they were from Canada and decided to do it in spite of Canada's lack of involvement in the war since it was around that time.

Oh well. They fixed the problem, anyway. I believe if you can't afford to fix your car cause of some petty vandalism, than you should be driving a cheaper car.

I say best bet is security cameras.

If you find then and they get off easy, then look up their addresses, wait until 3 or 4 AM, and then take your plates off, use a different car, and go to the kids house and take a bat to his s2000.

Break the windsheild out, if possible, then have your driver waiting and make your getaway.

They will never prove it, and I'm off the philosophy "be nice to people until someone does something stupid, then do everything you can to make his life hell for as long as you can without getting caught."

and about your truck getting hit, Mr. otherguywithhorrorstory, I'd say go with that vigilante justice. Nothing gets the blood flowing quite like nice, bloody vengence.

My worst nightmare became reality

I went to watch 2Fast2Furious tonight with a friend. I found a parking spot right next to a silver S2000. After I got out of the car, I notiched there were another red S2000 and a Honda coupe with shopping cart spoiler parked on the other side. To make a long story short. 2 hours later I came out and went to my car and discovered what's in the pictures below. The Hondas were gone. Now I did not witness the creators this masterpiece. But to be honest I'm almost certain that it was those punk a$$ kids with the rice hondas that did it. Yep, death penalty should definitely be legalized!

Why are you convinced that the Honda owners scratched your car?

Because they etched "S2000 RULES"...

There are two types of jelousy:

1) When people see somebody with nicer stuff than them and say "Gee, I wish to be like that guy someday"

2) When people see somebody with nicer stuff they say: "Gee, I wish that guys loses his stuff and becomes like me"


Looks like your friend ran into the 2nd kind :( That totally sucks, on the brights side insurance should cover the paint job (minus the deductable) and the car will be like new.

You have GOT to be joking me?

I save and save and finally think i can scrape by to afford the payments to my dream car, but o wait some asshole comes and keys it to no end, Paint job is ultra expensive so i dont deserve the car because someone else keyed it and i cant afford to repaint it? right...

I slashed some kid's tires because he stole my parking space and laughed at me. They never found out who did it...

No, it doesn't mean you're a punk kid... however, it does mean you have the IQ of a toaster.

Words cannot express the anger I feel.

But I have a simlilar story to add to this. My cousin who is 20, just got a job at GM and she drives an Accord. My dad told her to park far away, because the loyalty the employee's have towards GM is crazy. If they find out you're using GM money to buy Foriegn, they'll scratch ur car like none other. She took my dads advice, and now she parks far. My dad parks his Wrangler far too when he is at a GM plant. I don't want my cousins car to get scratched, but I'm happy that the employee's do that. GM is paying you for what? To buy Honda or sum other foriegn car? Atleast support who you work for.

But this s2000 bs just fuking pissed me off. :|

BS. What's the nicest car GM makes? Hummer? What if I have 60k to spend on a car, what am I supposed to get? Supporting company you work for is nice, but shouldn't be required. The only reason most people do, is probably because they get nice discounts. I wanna see those GM employees pay full price for sub-par vehicles.

I guess it's like this... if you can buy an accord... dont. Get a Malibu instead. If you want a Benz... then its ok... But dont ask me, I'm not an employee of GM.
 

That's pretty lame. :(

But I dunno about you people getting all worked up about a post on the intarweb.
