Not even a F-U letter....

I left work for lunch on Thursday, and someone thought it would be a great idea to vandalize my car. There are too many people that have zero character. What kind of coward does this type of *****? Thankfully, Shardul is parting out a brilliant silver car. I am glad that I did not witness it. I probably would have gone to prison for mutilating him.

The fuel door is a lost cause. The quarter panel, and the c-pillar can hopefully be taken care of by a good PDR guy. There is not a single scratch, or scuff on the paint. Just metal deformation. I am disgusted.

Seeing this makes my blood boil. Reason why I carry a piece with me all the time because if I catch anyone doing this to mine or someone else's car I will shoot their legs.

This place is a joke.
Was someone trying to pry open the fuel door to steal gas?

What do you think happened? Do you think maybe someone backed in to you? I remember a few months ago I had to go to this probation thing in Tucker and when I came out my driver's side door was all scratched to hell. Like some fat ***** couldn't fit in her car without grinding her purse all over mine or something. I was livid, and there were no cameras covering that area (of ****ing course). Not even a 3 step polish and orbital was and wet sanding was able to fully take it out...

Anyone know what it costs to repaint a driver's side door in black opal metallic, by the way

It appears as though either someone kicked, punched, or threw themselves into it. There is no paint damage at all.

Some people...
The gas door might be able to be popped back out.
Some of the "paintless" dent repair guys can do wonders and they are not that expensive. If the paint is intact and metal not creased, they may be able to do a repair that in not detectable from the outside without repainting.

So while you're in jail for attempted murder, I can watch that Ducati for you?
