Got Keyed
Hey fellow members it finally happened.Somebody put a 2 inch key mark in my quarter panel next to passenger door.Took it to the dealer for repair.It will cost 700 hundred dollars but I have to do it.They say they pull some of the paint from the door to match.Any ideas how thses guys fix it.It really didn't make any sense to me.

I think they need to repaint the whole panel. That sucks so bad, though. Thats why I borrowed my sister-in-law's Envoy when I went to the movies the other night. So many stupid jealous people, it makes me sick.

Unless your dealer has a state of the art body shop and a highly trained paint man, I would find someone who specializes in high end cars.

maybe more painful is a freak accident yourself. while stripping my factory wheels a nearby door i was moving, fell over, hit another wheel sitting on the ground, rolled over and hit the bucket the stripped wheel was sitting on, knocked that over and the stripped wheel fell over and rolled over to the e and put a crease on the bottom sill, 2 inches long, below the drivers side door on the sill. it was like building a better mousetrap i could never have pulled off on my own.

HAs to be Saudi Arabia, dude, not Turkey. THey may chop your hand off for stealing but also be a home to Osama BL, and if remember correctly to 17 out 19 9/11 hijackers.

I bring my company van to the local multiplex, especially on Friday or Saturday nights. Is it me or are there a lot more 12-13 year olds out there unchaperoned on weekend nights? When I was growing up, there was no such thing as being dropped off at the movies...parents these days have no clue.
