Unexpected Damage

[GTR-N1]

Out Of Interest: How do you get over or thru your rage when you find your car bumper has been scraped or a panel's been keyed?

It's very disconcerting eh when no-one witnesses it or even leaves a note?

[RusH_]

yell and scream in private... hit a punching bag till the feelin goes away or ur hands end up without any skin left, those usually help, then just try and think of how to fix it without too much drama and keep tellin urself its ok, i can turn this into an upgrade of some sort

[HuH]

Shit man, that really sucks. And there's usually nothing you can do to figure out who it was. I just hope it's not to expensive to repair.

So far I have avoided this with my R33 this but my previous VL Commodore copped it twice at the same Big W car park in the same month and yeah I was p*ssed off . No note, no Icantdriveforshit in sight. So after a lot of choice words I fixed the scrape as best I could and ordered a replacement front bar for the other damage and it was off to the crash repairs.

[Redback]

I would be furious to the point of being psycotic.....

i run to my dad, who pays for it to be fixed

[KezR33]

Where I work one of the night fill guys came back to his car to find massive dents all over it. Apparently some drunk kids thought it'd be funny to run over the top of it.

Personally though whenever I park in a crowded carpark, especially ones with lots of shopping trolleys, I park a fair way away from the main bunch of cars. If possible.

I got in my car with a weapon and paraded the streets at 3am in the morning trying to find the person... only time I wished the car was whisper silent.

That was for a break in.. Im sure for a scratch id find the closest damaged car with paint and light it on fire.. or open it and perhaps jam a trolley inside it.. that would be funny to watch when they come back.

I hate people with no respect for others property. I give so much respect to other people and hope karma smites the rest down!

my car was hit about a month ago, dont know when it happened or where, the person did a runner, they dented and scraped my front wheel arch, will cost 300 dollars to fix, its a wast of money, i hate people

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

on another note, if i park somewhere dodgy, or where the person in teh spaces near me are extremely close, i right myself a txt message with license plate and colour and save it in the draft section of mobile, htat way if i come back and find green paint then i know the jerk couldnt get out the space alright..

although i guess this doesnt help if ur there for a while and a few cars give it ago.

on antoher note, my dads car was reversed into whilst it was parked for a weekend in the airport security parking lot, int he veiw of two cameras, they security staff said unless it was stolen, they would not use the cameras to find the person responsible.

As im a depressed individual already i turn to my draw full of pain medication, amphetamines and sedatives.

my front bar took a scrape which i just noticed today, cruising on opiates and benzos now.

now i have an excuse to fit a z-tune full kit asap

[DECIM8]

Johnny sounds like hes got the idea, Trolley still sounds best to me.

some knob bac in to my newly fitted veilside rear bumper and killed it. when i was at the movies in melb. car park was not full or tight fit. they didnt leave a note or anything. just lefted my with a big bill. It still make me mad today and it been two years now. I will never park my car in a car park again unless i can see it.

Do you think then, that there are usually 2 reasons as to why some guys (who can afford it) get a 'daily-driver' ??

i) a car that uses less fuel and

ii) one that matters 'less' if it does get 'hit' or 'keyed' ?

I do have a daily driver (VT SS) but i was in melbourne for the easter nats. I live in the country. I think other people should just give a shit about other people stuff.

[nvsA4]

my old car (VT SS) was parked in the side sttreet next to mine cause all my mates had parked in my driveway and some werent there to move cars so i thought it would be alrite, i came back in the morning and there was one long key mark around the whole car down to the metal and the bonet and the roof had 'F**K YOU' in massive letters also down to the metal. couldn't drive it anywhere cause people just looked at it in shock. I'm pretty sure i know who did it cause 2 weeks before a mates r33 had bricks chucked though the windows and another had her E36 BMW keyed and paint stripper tipped on, my work had to write it off

scum of the universe!!!

these people deserve a horrible horrible punishment.

But what makes me even angryer is that if somone does a burnout (for eg.) and no one is hurt.. the person cops a fine and disqualificatioin WORSE than a drink driving charge which kills thoughts of times more than than burnouts a year.

And.. if someone damages our car.. which have 10's of thousands of dollars spent on it.. the cop goes "oh.. umm.. yeah.. there isnt much we can do"..

grrr.. I know its left feild.. but I needed to vent

[Spunky Munky]

I would quickly find a tree, pee on it and yell "who's your daddy now??" lol

Ryan,

I like your COMPASSION mate. Keep it up - whilst so many angry idiots are keying each other around you!
