Keyed: It's finally Happened.

Some wonderful person keyed my CLK 430 on the 23rd, parked it up for 20 minutes and came back with the bonnet, both sides (wings doors rear 1/4) and the roof scratched.

Just come back from the estimators, if being repaired on the 16th.

I'll post the pictures tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about that man. I'd take a baseball bat to someone's knees if I caught them doing that to my ride. Hopefully the insurance co. will repaint your entire ride and you can have a fresh paint job...

I keyed MYSELF yesterday. That'll really **** you off.

Stupid jacket has an exposed metal button and it took the paint off to the metal when I closed the door. The button on my jacket is right in the bottom lower wrist and pushes against the door, just perfectly.

A friend of mine parked his Chrysler 300 somewhere and a van backed into him and messed up his front bumper (HE WAS PARKING) and m friend took revenge by halling a brick through his front windsheild........
