I only had to do this once with my old car. Red car next to me, with red paint on my door and a ding, I was inside for literally 5 min.
Keying is for vandals. Payback deserves a mule kick...

I think the reason that nobody respects other people's stuff is because people hardly have respect for their OWN stuff. I'm one of those weird people that treats other people's property like I treat my own and I actually respect my own property, so it's easy.

wow, perfectly put!

I care about my car, not so about others. In order to take care of my car, I have to be careful not to hit anyone else's car because it might damage my car LOL

I bought one of those kits that use a hot glue type puller from harbor freight. It was like 15 bucks and It worked after like 2 pulls. I can still see it a little, but when I tell others about it they think I am crazy.

May want to look into that.

Funny you say that! When I was about 19 I had a red 07 Si. I backed into my dad's 99 maxima. This car was CLEAN though. Cleaner than my 08 s2k for sure. But I put a huge dent in the fender. But it was only noticable in certain light. I went to autozone and got the dent puller thing, I tried suction cups, everything. Nothing worked for me.


This dent is really small though, it couldn't be pulled with that tool. Time to get CF doors huh!

I agree with everyone in here. I always park at the far corners of the parking lots and walk for ever in snow, rain, heat....just to get door dinged.

This is a kit similar to what I have. I bought mine from harbor Freight (though online I could not find it anymore). More or less this is what the kit contained.

Not worth getting arrested for. Even if they did ding your door, you'd have to prove that they did. If they witness (or parking lot security cameras capture) you damaging their car, guess what... you're SOL. It doesn't matter what they did to you, you're still not "allowed" to do anything illegal to them.

Ford F-150s have it out for me. Last December, a 16 year old kids in an F-150 full of other 16 year old kids pulled in front of me driving my '05 Odyssey, and a Honda CRV driving next to me. No one was seriously injured. He then fled the scene. When the police arrested him at his home shortly after, he had Marjiuana in his system. 16, and already a Hit & Run with a DUI. He's screwed.





Anyways... The van was totaled. I replaced the van with a '03 S2000. Three weeks later, I was rearended by another F-150. He also fled the scene. Car is back from the shop, and good as new (I guess).
