Seriously..it did..
It's pretty deep too, I tried to take a picture of it but you can't see it well because it's from my phone :(
But I'll describe it for you all..
It's basically the length of my driver side door..and you can see the white (assuming it's primer) and when I run my fingers over it I can feel an obvious indent from where the paint is all gone..:'(
I know that it was keyed because it's a pretty straight line until it gets to the door handle and then it curves up over the handle in an obvious fashion to avoid the handle to key more of my car! -.-

Location: Cal State University Los Angeles parking lot -.- (I attend school there)
Time: Tonight, sometime between the hours of 4pm and 7:30pm
Reaction: Shocked (Not mad)
Feeling now: Over it -.- I realize that there's not much for me to do to find out who the perpetrator is because our ghetto a** parking lot has no security cameras -.-

So my friend is going to try his best to hide the key mark this weekend and I'll try and load some before and after pictures soon.

This post was mainly for me to vent to some car lovers, but feel free to give me advice on what to do if you have any!

I'd be pissed honestly, when I got a tiny scratch from where some POS truck dinged their door into my passenger side door (I know it was them because they have an identical dent and were parked next to me) I cracked their drivers side view mirror in retaliation (cracked not shattered).

oh wow! That's a pretty intense retaliation -.- lol...
Yeah I woulda been pissed if I knew I could do something about it. Cuz then all that anger woulda been worth something..
But knowing that there's nothing i can do..sigh..i'm just over it -.-

And what really confuses me is that my cars not even THAT great..I guess it just looked clean cuz I had just washed it on Wednesday..boo!
At least I learned my lesson :) No more driving my baby to school! Haha

I hope my friend can't make it less obvious though :\ boo...

haha i do the exact same!!

why key/steal/break-in to my ride if there's a bimmer, benz, or audi right next to it? :)

not to mention nice car owners are usually more careful when opening their doors with cars next to them.

usually being the key word. at my school there's a good amount of spoiled rich girls that drive bimmers, and they don't give a rats a** about flinging their door open. :tisk:

Unfortunately theres no telling why someone will key your car. When I had my AC some one keyed it while it was parked in front of my girlfriends house. And she lives in really nice neighborhood. Well someone decided to put a nice big smiley face on the pass door extending it to the rear quarter panel. Needless to say I got rid of the car and now if I go over I park well into the driveway.
haters :tisk:
