There's a special place in Hell for these guys...
I'd take that nice photo of the concept G37 down to your closest custom paint shop and say make it so... turn a negative into a positive.

Amazing that it bothers some jerk so much that they would do that. How pathetic does one have to be to be so concerned that someone else has something nice that they go and do that to it? And I mean, honestly, most BMWs, Benzes, and Audis out there cost more than the G but do they key those? Probably not. Just the guy with the shiny new G coupe.

DoubleParadoxx, were you hitting on someones girlfriend or wife in the bar, again? You said it might have been done outside a local bar. Maybe someone just got done listening to that Carrie Underwood "Before he cheats" song. That sucks though about the car. Just try to keep in mind that it could always be worse.

I took some pics, but I was out all night so no chance to get them off the camera. Tomorrow.
I'm calling my insurance tomorrow to find out about the deductible on vandalism and then I'm taking it to the local dealership to be painted again.
I just hope that it doesn't happen again since I'll be going to all the spots it could have been keyed for the next year at least.
On a better note, I finally got in touch with my audio contact, so hopefully I'll have the below system in the car soon.

Have you considered using some kind of surveillance system? Not cheap but if it happens again it could help catch whoever did this, especially if they're a regular at the place where it happened.

I'm sure there are others available, maybe for cheaper than these.
In any case, good luck. My brother just got a new TL and it's already been scratched and dinged up a few times in spite of the fact that he's careful about where he parks.

My BMW got keyed about 12 inches on the door and anothe 6 on the rear quarter. My estimate was anyhwere from 700 - 2000 dollars. I would have had to pay my $500 deductible You'll probably at least have to pay your deductible. Sorry it happened to you. It suck and makes no sense.

Hey Joe,
You said your insurance covers vandalism with no deductible. I don't think my policy does this and I haven't heard of this before, are you sure this is correct information?
