Angry I got keyed!!!

I was out of town at an amusement park...came back after a day of riding some roller coasters just to find my car was keyed...some jealous punk probably!
Thankfully it is not very deep. Since my 8 is silver when I use a ton of wax it is not that bad! But my baby is still scratched!! Any suggestions on how to smooth it out or am I hitting the body shop?

I know what it feels like . I went to go eat one night and came back to find a nasty key-mark right above my driver side door on the door frame. You might want to try some of the Meguiar's Scratch-X to remove that -- but mine didn't come out. Also -- not that I would try this on my own... but someone told me if you get some touchup paint and put it in a syringe, you can fill in those deep scratches. Might want to take it to the body shop though. Let us know how it comes out.

it is times like those when you wish you could catch them in the act so you can take a tire iron up side some jealous dumbass. Sorry to hear that man.

Sorry to hear that, Karma will get him.

Back when I was in high school my buddies and I cought this foo trying to jack my 1st gen eclipse.

Man it was on! Like a scene from a movie we were chasing him all over the place through fences. When we caught him, we beat the hell out of him and he had a small shank and he almost stabbed me, but before he could my friend hit him with a rock that foo fell.

Before the cops came he some how managed to stab himself in the back. Turned out that guy was on his 3rd strike who was actually a suspect for a shooting (drive-by)

Not that I'm proud of my experience, but I hope this never happens to anybody.

If I ever get my hands on them...

Man I really do wish that I had caught them in the act...maybe it was a good thing since my 8 could've have ended up with a dented front bumper...CRUNCH...200points! :p Thanks for the replies though and the rx8club is def. a great forum...back to waxing! :D
