Default What's Wrong With People?

Some idiot decided today to take out his own misery on my car. I have a nice one and a half inch key mark on the front left corner of the car and it is into the paint. It almost looks like it was done with a knife? The damn thing is one freaken week old and it is damaged! I'd like to catch one of these losers one of these days and kick the shit out of their car! It happened this morning and I'm still burning about it! Does anyone know if this can be fixed, filled, repainted or whatever for a relatively cheap cost or does the whole darn quarter need to be painted? Advice please

that totally sucks. i think i would cry. in a world of haves vs. have nots, it's unfortunately unavoidable. i believe in karma, though - they'll get what's coming to them.

Some losers don't like winners. That's the problem.

Rod, I am sorry to hear about this. Only one week of ownership and this has to happen to you, it completely sucks. Keep in mind what goes around comes around and you still own the S2000.

I see you live nearby. Where did this happen. What color is your car? Some attract more attention than others. I don't have my Spa yet, but am thinking of changing colors because of the high vis. Sucks you can't just drive a nice car and park anywhere. Honda is not all that high profile either. Not like a Bimmer or Benz or whatever.............

People these days just don't care about anything. Just take a look at alot of their cars. They have more in the paint, rims, hydrolics, etc, than the whole care is worth. BTW from my experiences it will be around $200-350 for a good job.

Thanks for the love guys. It happened at the mall and I parked where I normally do, out in BFE. Ironically, I was going their to pick up a few cleaning supplies to give her a once over. And to think I was worried about my stereo install... Oh well, you guys are right they will get theirs in the end BTW, my car is silver, which helps, but I know it's there and it is definitely noticable from angles, like every time I get in the car OK I'm getting pissed again but I do appreciate the information. Would you take it to a body shop, dent wizard, detail shop It has to be fixed
