Got Keyed Again, when do you Stop repairing it?

[bembol]

Interesting that my last coupe, '02 Acura RSX Premium never got touched once but a few days ago it got keyed again, twice just over a year of owning her.

My brother (who's 2.5S Coupe also got keyed), said why bother because if his got keyed again he wouldn't get it repaired, clearly these punk/***** have a problem with us.

Whether I go through Insurance or Not, this is very expensive and I'm thinking about putting the cost towards say, Eibach Springs.

If I do leave this, any tips to band-aid the scratch. Thanks!

oh god no, id get that fixed immediately. the coupe is far to sexy to leave scratches...

Id say figure out who you r pissing off, and then piss em off and camp out and wait. Get pictues or video and call the cops. Their restitution should be enough to pay for the scratches and the springs...

Sorry 2 hear this man. it hurts.......

LANCE Still got your Malibu?

VINCENT You know what some screwer did to it the other day?

LANCE What?

VINCENT screwin' keyed it.

LANCE Oh man, that's screwed up.

VINCENT Tell me about it. I had the goddamn thing in storage three years. It's out five screwin' days – five days, and some d!ck piece of **** screws with it.

LANCE They should be screwin' killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.

As he cooks his heroin...

VINCENT I just wish I caught 'em doin' it, ya know? Oh man, I'd give anything to catch 'em doin' it. It'a been worth his doin' it, if I coulda just caught 'em, you know what I mean?

LANCE It's chicken ****. You don't screw another man's vehicle.

EDIT: BWAHAHAHAHAHA@profanity filter

My car got keyed a awhile back and I haven't fixed it yet and a month later I watch this guy throw a punch at my car for no reason. I called him out and as he was coming to me a sexy lady cop pulls up and ask if we had any problems I told the cop what the guy did but I was a little tipsy and I started to hit on the cop a little, the guy who was driving for me been drinking too we kinda left it alone. At the time I didn't see a dent and the car looked ok but I was just looking in the wrong spot. The next day when I woke up I notice a dent and I was upset. oh well I'm getting it all fixed soon.

[dldjros69]

fyi mzinsmeister - if you let somebody drive you car drunk, and you are in the car. you both get dui's...

Wow i would have been pissed if that dude punched my car.

did you know him

[Blackmobile]

I really wish i could understand why people have to be such asses to do something like that. we had an incident here at a movie theatre where the entire parking lot had their cars keyed, over 300 cars in 1 night, then again in a neighbourhood not far away, over 150 cars got keyed. absolutely no reason to do something like that, i don't know what i'd do if i ever caught someone who did that to my or someone elses car.

[kyle@stillen]

Is your car being keyed outside your house or in random parking lots? If it's outside your house you could always install a dumby security camera. I was going to do that when the punk neighbors kept messing with my Titan...

[RobPaulson]

check this wonder-material out, its RIDICULOUS, i have it on my phone, and NOTHING has phased it so far.

Get comprehensive insurance. It pays for itself the first time someone screws with your car. My last car, a 3000GT SL got egged twice in 6 months at two different apartment complexes. So it was either entirely random or someone didnt like me. Anyway for the 80 dollars or whatever it is for 6 months they fully paid out about 1300 bucks to fix it both times, and comprehensive cases dont increase premiums the majority of times.

I think most here do have comprehensive insurance - these are practically new cars with at least a few outstanding loans. It's the deductible that get in the way. I'd be eating most, if not all, of the repair cost if this happened to me, and I have comprehensive.

It's all about how you want to manage your risk, and the price you are willing to pay for the coverage. If you think it's likely you'll wreck your car or have it vandalized/broken into, by all means go with the lower deductible and higher premiums to protect your investment. If you live in a relatively crime free area and consider yourself a safe driver, I personally would go with the higher deductible and lower premiums. (I'm now expecting to find my car on blocks tomorrow morning)

that stuff for the ipod is expensive. you'd think its cheap since its so little and looks like saran? wrap... $20 for both sides

Forgot to mention to get $0 deductible for comprehensive. It was worth it on my 14 year old 3000GT and its worth it on my new coupe.

[bembol]

My deductible is $300, the first repair (at Nissan) cost over $2,100 because it was the entire Passenger Side. This looks like about $500, rear quarter panel.

I don't think it's my neighbour/street. The first time was at my sister's over at Oshawa, the latest I believe happened at Best Buy parking lot.

Clear 3M Bra FTMFW!!! I had the guy that did my overlays quote me at $600 for bumper and hood. Im just curious if you guys have this on the 09 Max, Coupe, G37 or any of the other SEMA/show cars and how much did it cost?

[kyle@stillen]

We don't have it on those cars YET...We more than likely will soon but the paints too fresh on them to do it just yet.

We do have it on the GTR and the Ford GT rally cars though.

It's not as nice and rosy as you make it sound...if you have no violations or claims on your car, adding a comp claim or two could make you lose your clean risk credit, or even just shoot your premiums up, or if you throw down enough comp claims, you can be non-renewed. Insurance is a fun business....

works perfectly. i bought the full cover, but took the back off to be able to use a silicon/hardplastic case (cases dont fit over the back film). yes it does come for the front of the phone.

and no one else seemed to click my link, i thought it was a good idea =( lol

Like I said, Nationwide told me that comprehensive claims do not increase premiums unless it is abused. If your car is getting vandalized that much you should probably move anyways.

[mzinsmeister]

dldjros6 - I'm aware of that and my buddy wasn't drunk he only had a few drinks. I figured we should leave before I said something to the cop that would upset her and no I didn't know him. Next week I have a guy coming out from dent tech to come fix me up.. i hope

My point was that you didn't mention the carrier - each insurance company treats claims differently.
