Default Keyed?

Has anyone else had their baby keyed?? Ya I pulled in to a shopping mall and when I came back out my drivers side was totally scratched up. They did it just enough on both bumpers that I have to have them repainted. In total, my first estimate wants $1,480. If I ever find the guy(s) who did it...

Any ****er that damages a car like that should have his hands and feet chained to the axel of a car, then all 4 cars should speed off pulling them to bits. Snot nosed disrespectful little **** stain mother ****ers like that really **** me off.

Here's my keyed story. My 97 black convertible was parked in the parking lot of Winn-Dixie for no less than 5 mins. I went in the store for something quick. I came back out and some keyed from the front of the car all the way to the back tail light. No reason the store was like a couple of blocks where I lived so I had no time to **** anyone off. It was a random act of meanness due to the fact that they can't afford anything better. Take comfort in this the person who did this prolly drives a beat up old peice of **** car. Once your car gets out of the shop you still get to home with your 05 mustang. At the end of the day they still go home to a crappy home with prolly a crappy family and still be miserable. But once your baby gets fixed it will be back to usual daily business.

I do believe that's punishable by death in some countries....or atleast maybe it should be. I'm scared to park mine half the time I go somewhere. Bad enough I have to fret over door dings...

Not yet but it is in my mind all the time. if I don't really trust a situation I will take my crown vic. Also I will not take my car on long trips for the fear of paint chips.

OMG! You can't be living in fear like that! These cars are meant to be driven and seen! It is your duty as an '05 Stang owner to share it with society, yes, even those MF's who wish to do it harm! I can't imagine being unwilling to drive my car somewhere due to fear of paint chips but that's just me. My brother has a '99 Camaro he keeps in the garage and drives once in a great while--only has 15k miles on it! I just can't see doing that. I have an '87 Range I intended to drive every other day when I bought my GT but it hasn't happened so far!

Seriously, I feel for you guys who have had your rides vandalized and hope the culprits experience the great "what goes round, comes round" rule of life real soon. It's probably some GM or Dodge freak who can't deal with the fact that your ride is more awesome looking than theirs.

Sorry - I agree with Daniel. Had my car for 6 months and just turned 1000 miles. Call me a show queen or trailer queen, call me what you will. But I bought my car as a life long investment to enjoy with other show-car enthusiasts, and I aint about to let some snot nosed f**k sticks ruin it for me. As soon as somebody makes a damn bra for the S281 I will put some more miles on it - but for now it will get trailered to distant shows, and never be found in a parking lot of the local Walmart or whatever

Those that have been keyed - I feel your pain. If I ever catch somebody doing that to my car or a fellow 'Stang I would probably beat the living sh*t out of them - and just for fun, run that key DEEPLY across their face [:@]
