Sorry to hear about what happened. After getting my 335 keyed across the whole side of the car, I definitely feel your pain. Hope you get her as good as new and back on the road soon.

That's terrible aho.

+1 to what some of the other guys said - move on and don't retaliate. He (and she) are just not worth the hassle.

I'm really sorry to see that done to your car man, I know how that feels. While I agree with moving on as being the right thing to do; I'm better at giving advice than following.

That being said, if you have a change of heart, just remember that the "burden of proof" works both ways. If he woke up the next morning and his car was a pile of ashes.....oh well.

At least you're man enough to admit that it was your fault, but yes, that was a ***** *** move on his part.

That's the right move - whatever you do to him will not repair your car or save you the hassles. It will only open the door for more crap, stress and frustration into your life. Just act like you can afford 1000 such acts of cowardice without a dent to your flow, and don't give him the satisfaction.

Text him, "As long as you wont touch my car again, I will stay away." or something along those lines and see if you can trick him into admitting guilt... "Again" is the key word there. I'm sure the police could do something with that.

Sorry to hear about your car man. Take it as a lesson learned. You were trying to mess with another man's woman. I am not justifying his actions, but had he confronted you like a man, you could then possibly file assault charges on him. Play it smart, swallow your pride, and move on. Leave her alone.

You know your colors Josh, yes the entire car is being repainted. All the chrome molding are being sprayed black to better match the grill and badges. Car should be finished sometime next week.

You are correct! The only thing not being painted are the carbon pieces. Going with the laguna, black, carbon theme. I can't wait for the end results.
