Default Got Keyed

Well it's taken me a few days to post this, but I got keyed this past Thursday. I was parked at the local university for class, towards the back to stay away from other cars, and well I when I got back from class I saw that my hood had been keyed. What a b****? They left an "X" about 3 in long with each slant, one real deep and the other lighter. I got it estimated and it's going to cost ~$450.00. I'm sure you all already know this, but it's just a reminder of what type of people are out there. Watch your babies close guys.

It's so sad that the envious can't put their energies into something more productive ... like improving themselves. Sorry this happened ... I'd be very upset and angry beyond words.

Sorry to hear that some jerk decided to vandalize your Vette.

I hope the paintwork turns out to you satisfaction.

Sorry to hear about the car, I know it's upsetting. Some a$$ clown placed a nail under my rear tire once. $350-$400 run flats are nothing to play with. Good luck to you. Look on the bright side, maybe it's RKsport time.

Sorry to hear about your car. Never have figured out why someone would want to do these type of things.
