Dude, how about investing in a garage first.

What's your problem with Italians, if one of them did it take it up with him, not with all of them. Unless you still carry the flame of "...I could take Italy with one division, now I need 100 divisions to defend it..." You know that this is a no-no.

I have to agree with Joe on this one....that first comment was slightly out of line, although I can see where you're coming from, since your beautiful CK35 was so wrongfully defaced. But calling out an entire ethnicity for the actions of one person is equally unjust. I hope your car gets fixed up and that future incidents of vandalism do not occur.

I'd invest in a pitbull with a very long leash. But have the little electric barrier around so it won't walk out onto the streets But yeah, the paintball thing would be more enjoyable.

There for a second, I thought you were referring to your car.

good luck with the fix. hopefully they paint it nicely. back in my heyday I drove a hyundai sonata that needed a front right fender re-painted. the guys who buffed it left swirls like no other...


I see people who key cars the same as wife beaters and dog kickers. They prey on the innocent and vulnerable all because something is wrong with THEIR life.

Ethnicity has no basis to society or culture, so I'm obviously not calling out any ethnicity. It's a social problem, and I'm calling out the society. My car got keyed for being a German car with German plates. It got keyed by an Italian for being a German car with German plates.

Then you know who did it. I hope you took it up with the person.
I entered Spain just a little later than the incorporation into the EU, one border guard took my US passport and ask me to open the trunk to register the car. When I got down his boss signaled no with his head and pointed to the Union plate and the Luxembourg tag. In silence I was given the passport back and asked to pass.

It is the eternal sick power kick of wanting to show off on everybody, when the only thing that is allowed is to crap on those below. If the coward who keyed your car was caught he would cry like a baby...

Try crossing into France in a German car with tourist plates and an American passport.

ouch..that totally sucks.
I had that happened to me too and the body shop estimated around $1800.
And also, paying the deductible for unnecessary damages sucks even more.

I would like to say thanks to the guy who keyed my car.
Got it fixed for $798.
My insurance company sent me a check for $1780 after $250 deductible.

LOL @ Animalchn.

I used to have a Hummer H2 and it got keyed by these two black hooligans at the mall. We came to a cross walk and I stopped, but they stopped walking as if to let me drive. So then I proceeded to go when they started to walk across again. Long story short I stopped to let them walk but I guess they were pissed that I was going to drive instead of let them walk. It was one of those confusing moments.

But when I came back out to my car I had a huge deep fresh key mark from the rear passenger to the front passenger door... Turned it in on a lease and just took sharpie... No one ever noticed! haha, got off free with that one. (No wonder GM is going bankrupt)

I also must have the worst luck because my precious Infinti G37 coupe had 2 hit and runs that cost me over $500 each time to fix... Sheesh, the people.

I may not always do the right thing 100% of the time, but I would never key someones car, or do a hit and run...
