And yes, I do realize that a few don't really care about their cars and take the mentality of "it's just a friggin car. Drive it and enjoy it!" ��
I knew this might be a problem when buying this car. I did not know this would be a every flocking day problem! The keyings, fools on the roads cutting you off, the jackasses that park right next to you in the supermarket lot 1 mile from the entrance. I just
good luck with the repairs and remember a hater is going to hate no matter what.

I think about that line from Pulp Fiction every other month when i see a new key scratch in my paint. God give me strength if ever do catch a coward in the act!

I nicked the garage on the way in last night and got white all over the driver side nose... this has been a rough month for me. Now I'm looking at a grand out of pocket... perhaps I should get the claim value instead and stash it towards a full repaint at a later date. The beauty of an aluminum car is you are not being rushed to avoid rust...

Maybe matte gray would suit my style better anyhow. Anyone recommended in Orlando area?

I got a 4 inch scratch right below my spoiler on the hatch. I know it was one of those jackasses at the car wash I went to and you know they won't accept responsibility for it either.

Got my Z back and progressive matched the factory paint perfectly. It looks like I just drove it home all over again. I was renting a Ford Escape SE 4WD since that's all they had left due to the holiday season... I wouldn't trade for it but I did like the 4WD part (time to start saving for a GT-R).

Really glad to see that things worked out in the end. That was a real bummer of a situation.

Did you find a good job yet? That would be the real happy ending.

Oh, well I half way did find another job. I am full time contracting and hoping to steer it into a permanent position next year.

Out of pocked on repairs was $1290. I had to pay for the garage nick on the nose, and there was a rock chip on the hood I wanted to fixed if I was going to go to all that trouble. Progressive covered all but $500 of re-painting all three side panels and replacing the door handle. Supposedly, if I get the sealant redone in a month they will reimburse me as well.

I agree with you. So much hate since owning the Z, its unreal. I guess living in rednecksville doesnt help me much.

I think I must invest in a beatup pickup with a confederation flag so that this mexican looking alien can blend in HAHAH!

In all honesty I thought the Mazdaspeed got me hate.. but the Z much MOAR. Plus I dont even drive it like a doosh. I stay in the right lane mostly doing the speed limit.

Only yesterday, I was merely driving in a two lane 55mph road and Sonata 2.0t pulled out in front me, I am glad he floored it as I would have gone right into his side. At stops lights it was an old man LOL. We had a friendly chat, no anger here anymore. I lost my spirit in regards to shouting and getting mad after marriage.

Feel your pain brother. Got keyed on my hood on my 2nd day of ownership inside my gated lot at WORK no less. 2014 red nismo.

Bought it Sunday and have only driven it from the dealer to my garage at home and to work Monday and Tuesday and ate lunch at Sonic both days. Came out for lunch today on Tuesday and saw 2 long light scratches on the hood and 1 deep twisting scratch.

Funny thing is I knew this would happen the first day I pulled in. I've owned an EVO X and an S2000 and those were scratched in similar ways. Evo X on the rear quarter panel and S2000 on the trunk but I never was sure if it happened at work or somewhere else. Now i know its at work, same person probably or group of people that are import haters. There are nicer cars at my work, new corvettes, hummers, bmw's so i dont think its a jealousy thing. I've had a mistubishi outlander sport and toyota celica and vw gti that have gone unscathed. Just a sporty import car hatred thing I think.

We have a camera but its pointed at the company vehicles in our lot so I think I'm SOL but I'm going to try to get the footage tomorrow morning regardless. Not holding out much hope though. Not even sure what Ill do if the camera did film where I was parked. Ask for 500 cash, if not report him to my companies HR? Doubt the police can do anything since its private property.

I was already planning on getting a beater car this weekend but didn't even make it past Tuesday without this happening sigh Should have known better. I almost blame myself.

Now just have to make it through the rest of the week without more damage until I can get that beater car this weekend.

Already regret getting the car. Too much negative attention. A shame it has to be like this. You really cant have anything outside the norm otherwise it's just a matter of time before something like this happens is my experience. Such a shame.

Cops can't do anything because it's private property!? If that's the case,if you find out who it is,whoop his azz right on the property.
