Sorry to hear that. Used to be if something like that happened you had to think about what you might have done to tick someone you know off. Now adays people do that stuff just for kicks or because you have it and they don't. Vert vert agravating to say the least

Some people just suck.
Good luck on the fix. A polisher can work wonders, hopefully enough.

Lance: Still got your Malibu?
Vincent: Aw, man. You know what some ****er did the other day?
Lance: What?
Vincent: ****ing keyed it.
Lance: Oh, man, that's ****ed up.
Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of **** ****ed with it.
Lance: They should be ****ing killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.
Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that ******* doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.
Lance: What a ****er!
Vincent: What's more chicken**** than ****ing with a man's automobile? I mean, don't **** with another man's vehicle.
Lance: You don't do it.
Vincent: It's just against the rules.

I think that is totally deplorable.

Just some jealous fellow who can't stand to see good people
drive great Vettes to beautiful places.

It's getting worse.
One reason why I didn't get mine out today, and it was a beautiful day.
Was worried about that happening while away from the Vette. Gotta be careful where you go and if it'll be unattended for long.

That sucks! It has happened to me too and I was livid.

If it helps any, BMW makes a scratch removal kit for $29 that worked well on some key marks my wife had on her BMW. Its not color specific or anything so I bet it works on GM paint as well. Any dealer has it.

Try this before spending a bunch of money getting it buffed at the body shop! You never know, it may work. They cost like 10 bucks at wal-mart.

Really sorry about that, friend. I really hope you can fix it without much trouble.
