I've only had the car two weeks and.....
Friday Night/Saturday morning, Washed, Clayed and three Coats of Zanio.
All to get my new S (bought it 2 weeks ago) nice and shiney for Mod Day. Went to Mod day, had a great time. When I got home decided to take my girl out for a ride and some dinner.
Went to Fairfax Corner, and went to Rio Grande for some good food. Fairfax corner is a pretty nice and upscale shopping center and it was still light outside so vandalism was the last thing on my mind, however door dings are always a threat.
After about 45 mins in the resturant when we returned to the car, someone had keyed my driverside door. Two spots one is totally buffable and the other is not. The really bad one is about 6 inches long and more than half of it is all the way.... I mean ALL the way down to the sheet metal.
I know it could have been a lot worse...multiple panels, but it still really irks me. I know there are lots of riceboy haters out there, and this is a reality when owning this car. I just can't believe that it happend so soon. I STILL HAD TEMP TAGS ON!
I talked to Peter last night and just like he said "Welcome to our world of haters!" it is sad but it is true. I just wish I could have cought the lil F$%^&*% in the act.
Now my nice and shiney S has a nice big scar
Sorry this is so long, but i needed to vent.

I have to say Wagon Works (although I had some issues @ first) because they fixed my the car to orginal condition.
Customer service was also great and they refunded few hundered bucks for my inconvience.
