Car keyed

[Kai]

give us photos.

If its light. Get a cutting compound and a buffing machine. And buff it out. If its deep. Get it professionally fixed.

and if its really bad... call the insurance agency!

No offence (as I was looking at buying the car you own but you beat me to it), the black bonnet would probably attract ****s that would do this.

i completely agree. i personally like the look of it but there are definitely ******s out there who don't like it and have to be idiots about it.

something i'll just have to live with i suppose

i just wish that you could catch these ******s in the act some times, it would make my day.

Speaking of which, I parked at work this morning, saw a girl in my office park behind, really close for some reason. As I was leaving this arvo I saw her drive past me between the office and my car.

I looked at her and she was looking straight back... then I saw black paint on the front left bumper of her car and though 'oh crap'. When I got to my car there was a big clean patch on my rear bumper (i live at the end of a 200m dirt driveway, so my black car is fairly dusty). Then there was a little bit of light blue paint on my car still (her car is light blue... 1+1 = she did it).

I rubbed the paint of and there are a couple really light surface scratches. I'm gonna go after her money if she doesn't come up and say sorry tomorrow morning FIRST THING. She's knows it was my car and she knows she did it since she tried to hide it.

It is just the general lack of respect for other people's property as mentioned time and time again. What can you do? Furthermore what is worse is the sheer amount of bad drivers out there on the road with a cardboard cutout they so call a 'licence', stating they supposedly can drive. Honestly, people should be made to resit tests on a regular basis, and if they fail, they cannot have their licence back. Or even better still, if enough complaints has been lodged against a particular driver in a vehicle rego'ed "x", they should have their licence suspended until they can resit a test to prove they 'can' drive.

I also firmly believe that people caught defacing other people's vehicle's or property should face severe penalties, such as heavy fines (along with serving community service time), or do some jail time.

Tosspot: I hope you really get that sorted out with the girl who swiped your car. Dont leave it too long as past experience taught me. My previous car if you've read in a previous post was sideswiped badly on the front end when someone turned out too early from their park. Problem is - I didnt report the incident to police or other authorities within the 'proper' timeframe. Apparently you have 3 days in which you must report to get the other party's insurance to cough up the repair bill. So do it asap. Hope she gets what she deserves.
