My car ha been keyed twice! I had taken it down to NC for a visit/road trip it sure is fun going through the mountains from IndianaI always park away from everyone, I hate the people who take up 2 spaces close. This is the second time for me. Once I am sure it was a disgruntled employee about a month after I had the car. This one was a ranom act of idiocy probably from someone with a Prius. post-25323-084897400 1286365513_thumb.jpg

Do you know what the difference is between a Prius and a porcupine?..................on the porcupine the pricks are on the outside.

Any chance of video cameras in the parking lot?

First time I was actually in Rochester NY doing a contract for a hotel, I reprimanded a Sales Manager and magically my less than one month old car was keyed the same day, (same door this time). This time I was on a residential street in NC in a driveway. I doubt the crazy b*tch from Rochester hopped a plane to do this but I wouldn't be surprised. Several months after I did get a reference call from someone looking to hire her. Needless to say I got a little bit of revenge. This time who knows who the hell it was. The picture doesnt even show the extent. They started at the top of the front bumper, came around, missed the whole front quarter, did a number on the door and caught the rear quarter about 9 inches to the gas cap. I would just love about 10 minutes with the scumbag.

Bill, this is exactly the kind of duschebag that Burning Blue Star's neighbors are!!! He is a 500 owner that has posted some disheartening things about random vandalism on the GT500 forums lately. Perhaps you've seen them?

 

There have always been these types of 'angry' individuals out there, but the issue IMHO is and will continue to grow, as the US economy is wiping out the middle class. I am going to try to keep one foot off the soapbox here, but I must chime in on something, since the Prius factor has been introduced on your thread.

 

As for the economy part of my squak, people are getting fed up with having no job, and seemingly no light at that tunnels end for another one. So, there are a few folks that will lash out towards others that they see having the American dream.....and what more of an American dream, than to have a nice car?! Especially an iconic "American" car such as a Shelby. This person knew all too well what your car was and stands for! Sorry brother!!!

 

Now, if I may, on the Prius issue?

 

This whole Bull%$#@ on a carbon footprint crap IMHO doesn't wash, at least with cars. If these treehuggers want to come down on me, since I ordered my car, that may be different....however, as for the cars that the manufacturers build for stocking purposes, these units are being built no matter how much anyone likes it. They need to be mad at the 'system' and or the 'manufacturers', instead of the owners of each of these cars, because if you or I don't buy one of them, someone else will! The cars are being built and transported to dealers all over the planet. They are going to get purchased, they've already been built...dont' get mad at me buddy? Right?

 

The issue , again, IMHO, lies in the polluting factories around the globe. Cars are now 'cleaned-up' with the extreme emmissions standards that have been accepted and put into practice over the years. If I go drive my GT500 either around the block, or for a vacation trip, I'm certain that during my entire ride, what was released from my tailpipes, is virtually nothing compared to a 15 minute spew out of a steel mill, let's just say, or an aluminum foil production facility.

 

I am sorry for getting way off topic here, but you're unfortunate incident has touched a nerve with a thought that has been brewing in me for a while now! And as for 03 DSG SNAKE's comments....+1000 if I ever saw that happening to someone's car, I would have to act as well!!!

 

Good luck getting her fixed soon and appropriately!

I just cannot wrap my mind around how anyone could walk up to someones car and run a key down the side. It boggles my mind and sort of scary that these folks running around loose.

 

Since I feel lousy and it isnt even my car I cant imagine how you must feel.

 

Regards,

 

Chuck

Sorry to see this - I'll just never understand the mentality behind such acts. They must be really, pitiful human beings.

 

As for the Prius subject, and hybrids and upcoming electric cars in general - I'm still waiting for someone to investigate and report on what the environmental impact is due to the manufacture and disposal of all the batteries that will be generated, as well as the additional pollution and fossil fuel use necessary to charge the batteries.

Sorry to hear about this happening. In my opinion acts of vandalism like this should be punishable by death if it can be proven that the accused is without a doubt the person that did it. I'm not kidding...I'm tired of the disrespect shown towards people and their property. It's one of the severest forms of insults to another person..think of all the hard work and money that you invested to get something like a nice car or whatever it may be...and some piece of human trash comes along and feels something gives them the right to do this, to touch your property, to cause you spend time and money to get it fixed, to upset you? Disgusting. Thinning of the herd is what we need...NOW.

Thanks for all the great thoughts. My stomach turns over when I look at the damage this idiot did to my car. the Prius comment was off-hand and kind of a joke I guess I got some other stuff started :). I just cannot understand what motivation this a$$ had when they did this. The death penalty seems a bit harsh but perhaps a bit of water boarding would bring them to a realization that they suck!

Hi sorry about your scratches, I never take the car anywhere where I cannot see it just for this reason. My wife and I have saved and sacraficed for about 10yrs to be able to get a car of this nature. If you ever get down to the south side look me up and we can grab a drink. I usually go down to THE SUDS on Sat nights for cruise in. Hope to see you there.

So sorry to see that pic of your Shelby, it is a shame someone would do that to anyones car. Not even the slightest bit of respect for some ones property.

If I caught a guy doing that to my car ,I'd use his teeth on the hood of his car.

 

 

 

i think a flying kick to the teeth would suffice, just as long as i take his teeth home as souvenirs...all of them

Some people are just put on earth to live out their roles as "Jackasses" or "Idiots". There is NO saving them....hence...I say flip that switch!
