I will kill....
I am so pissed off right now I think I can seriosuly take a bat and hit someone over the head with it. I have had my 8 for 2 weeks now 1136 miles on it, still has the fresh new engine fumes every so often and the interior reaks of being new and today I come outside of my school ( Kwantlen University College) and I see a GIANT dent in my rear side quater panel bumper and i'm freaking out. I have to call insurance, look for witnesses, report it and all of this stuff, it's ridiculous!!!! arg.. just thought i'd share. I'll give you guys fulls details once I calm down!

That sucks, but just remember, some people have real problems. This is pretty insignificant stuff in the grand scheme of things. Maybe they did it because you go to a college that no one can pronounce.

That is awful. Was it clearly deliberate (like someone kicked it in on the curbside) or just some careless idiot who hit it with their door or bumper?
Outside parking is the worst. Were you parked outside the dorms? My wife and I had outside parking right under the windows of our apartment for a year. She left her wallet in her car and left it unlocked (two mistakes I would not have made) and the wallet was stolen and the credit cards all used. I never felt happy about my cars being outside there again. That was back in 1995. These days I would set up a USB camera to watch my car if I had to leave it outside.
One of my coworkers bought himself a brand new RX-7 as a college graduation gift. Some miscreant keyed it all up on the 5th day. He left it that was for years because 1) he couldn't hardly afford to fix it at the time and 2) he figured it would get a new key job right away.
Of course, I don't have any of those problems since I live on a farm out in the country. I just hit deer......

My car once almost had the stereo stolen. I wasn't even away from my car for more than a minute. My mistake was I didn't activate the car alarm. Out of habit. I had the alarm turn on automatically after 30 sec. Must of been some kid high on something and wanted to make quick cash.
And the neighborhood was supposedly really nice and all. I mean even the cops pickup the homeless and drop them off in the poorer cities. The cops are so bored that one pulls a driver over he ends up having 5 other cop cars following along.
