Why do people key cars?

in big letters on the bonnet (They even underlined it).
Unless this is some sort of new ricer fashion statement, some tightarse
decided to destroy the cars bonnet.
Do all you guys (and girls) with unique cars worry like hell when parking
it, or do you say have a second shitbox for shopping etc?

Sadly, you can get this with any newer car.

losers getting their money coutesy of Centrelink, who will never even be
able to afford a new Hyundai, so they resent people owning half descent
things.
I my self have two cars and old beat up camira as my get around vehicle, and
my weekend special.
Would like to catch someone in the act of keying a car though, club lock
accross the skull sounds like a good idea!!

I NEVER take my car to shopping centres or carparks or basically leave it
anywhere I cant see it, It sounds paranoid but my car was keyed 4 days after
I got it back on the road after a complete rebuild. The only panels they
didnt get were the sill panels.
I think it comes down to jealousy.
You have what they want but coz they are deadshits with no money or
motivation living off welfare they dont have a hope in hell of getting it,
so they destroy yours instead. After I had saved for 2 years to afford to do
the car up it was really sad.

the guys hands by opening the car door and slamming it on the vandal, then
broke his nose, he then took the vandal to the police station, they
immediately got medical attention for the vandal and charged my mate with
assault.
Moral of the story beat them and leave em in the gutter to think about what
they have done.
Out of curiosity if you did call the police didnt assault the guy, what kind
of punishment would be dealt out by the law for car vandals?

unless they had done it and been caught heaps, then they might go to
jail. If you want any money out of it to pay for repairs to the damage
you would have to take them to court seperately from the criminal
damage case and that would take ages, probably cost a bit if you were
to get any legal help (they would probably get legal aid) and after all
that you might not even get enough to fix what they done.

I have a happy story on this one.
Some jerk decided to smash a window in my MR2, and attacked the paint
with a screwdriver. I saw the damage later, but didn't think it was worth
much to report it, as the chances of finding the vandal were zilch...
But... a security guard caught him in the act, he was sent to the police
and charged. A week later a policeman called me and asked was I the
owner of this vehical, they caught some guy doing the damage. Anyway,
they got me to send in the crash repair estimate, a few weeks later I got
a cheque in the mail for the full amount.
Unfortunately the repair was not done well, which is upsetting... the
molding has funny crack markings all over it and the tint doesn't match.
But at least they made him pay the full $600 or so. I had to shop around
a bit to find a quote that expensive you know...

Saw a 300ZX with something similar keyed on the bonnet at Carindale
Shopping Centre here in Brisbane. Very sad. Can't understand why
people do it ...

I reckon it would drive me nuts worrying. You couldn't leave it

berlina 2 days after it was painted. (GRRRRRRR PUNKS) luckily some mates of
mine saw it happen and we paid them back 10 fold.
but the thing that really got to me was when i got neaw chrome rims for my
VP SS had lock nuts and all. about a week after i got them. some guy tried
to flog them. ( the lock nuts did their job) but the bastard after finding
he couldnt get the wheels off decided to smash them with the tire iron he
had. they were so bad that i couldnt even drive my car. the rims were
completely rooted. i was not happy.

Serves you right for calling the cops. Next time, do as I do.
Make sure your boot is always lined with plastic garbage bags. Scares the
Christ out of some punk when you grab him and open the boot.
Not to mention the other goodies I keep in there.

time), and we were pulling out of the car park at the Jam Factory turning
onto Chapel Street, and this guy walking past on the footpath keyed the
bonnet with us sitting right in the car then continued walking along.
Obviously there was nothing we could do!
Had dad been in the car as well, I don't think he would have done it!

Yes. The worst thing about having a really nice car is that you worry about
it. I never take it places where I am not comfortable parking - shopping
center carparks, the movies at night etc unless I have absolutely no
choice. Then I pick the best spot I can find and worry like hell until I
come back to it. I've never yet suffered vandalism (in 16 years of driving
a couple of very nice cars), maybe I'm just lucky but I think it's largely
due to my paranoia about where I park it.
>>or do you say have a second shitbox for shopping etc?
Yes to that too, though the second one is a '93 Pulsar and I am also
selective about where it goes too, but not to the same degree.
The "third level" transport is the motor bike, and that I don't worry about
at all. Though ironically around Canberra there are lots of motor cycle
parking areas in all the major shopping centres etc an by the nature and
size of the spaces they would be the least worrying of all for parking the
car.

I think the fact that we (motor bike riders) are a bit of a 'minority
group' who are also managing collectively to survive despite some of the
stupid, thoughtless and idiotic things some car drivers do generates a bit
of a cameraderie. There is often a nod when passing another bike on the
road, or a bit of casual conversation when parking next to another bike
that just doesn't happen with car drivers. Bike riders who have apparently
nothing at all in common except their (often very different) motor bikes
are for the most part quite civil and social to one another.
Used to happen with some car types. I remember (showing my age again) when
I had my MGB and the universal custom was if you passed another MG on the
road then you raised the right index finger from the steering wheel as a
mini wave - no, not the "up yours" finger sign, it was pre those days. That
did seem to fade out, and I think the owners of "real" MGs were offended
that the "pretender" MGs would aspire to that recognition. (To many
purists, anything later than a TC is not a "real" MG.)
Maybe that sort of thing exists now with owner groups like WRXers? Do riced
Excels dip a wing to each other when passing?

the British Motor Corporation (BMC). The "purist" will claim there is no
such thing as an MGA, it is a BMCA.
(Personally, I'd love to have a really nice TF1500 in the garage for those
nice Sunday picnics.)
Just like 356 owners believe the 356 is the "real" Porsche, and 911 owners
believe 924, 928, 944, 968 are not "real" Porsches because they are front
engined & water cooled. Though some of said owners are having troubles
coming to grips with the latest models which are water cooled and
demonstrably the best 911s ever.

I drive a MK1 MR2, which is not entirely a common sight on the roads. I
usually flash to other MK1 MRs, and they usually flash or wave back.
Occasionally you just get a funny look back, but I don't take offense.
