I can't win...... 3/24/2014 Back in business!

So this was done to my car in my driveway between 9AM and Noon yesterday.....







My first thought was perhaps one of the kids did it, but after a few questions I realized it wasn't them.  They hadn't been anywhere near the car.  I know it was between those times because at 9 it was perfect and when I went to hose off the dirt spots from the drizzle the night before at noon it was there. 

I've seen handle bar marks and for a handle bar from a bike to do this a great amount of pressure would have to be applied.  Enough to dent the panel.  The height difference between the mark on the door and the scratch on TOP of the front fender is approximately 6 inches....  No kid did this by accident in my opinion.  It's going back in again Monday.....  I already filed a police report.  At least the repair be a tax write-off.  Not even worth filing through insurance....

someone playing in their yard,,
their toy hit your car and dented it unknowing to them
they ran over like oh shiznit,, and I mean ran............
they slipped on your wet pavement
they hit their head on your mirror during the slip
they leaned back to recover,, then slinked along the car to retrieve their toy
their jacket, watch, jewelry or whatever cut the paint

you can see particulate crowding in vertical areas I point to where they first started rubbing the car

sorry this happened, its gotta be frustrating.

so now that technology is been around us long enough to get the price point down, the wireless cams are something you can consider.

actually,, never mind my previous post...........


due to the damages this car has received, its no longer road worthy and you should not trust it,,, better yet you actually need to sell the car before it becomes a hazard to others.  I am going to make you an offer for the car because I know its no longer road worthy in its current state.  I will take it off your hands and quickly get it off your mind for around 500$.

The particulate as you call it was me rubbing at in in disbelief save for the one under the mirror.  It always pools there.  Always did.  The rest......that's like the sun, moon and stars aligning to show Indiana Jones the location of the ark when he's in that underground tomb in Egypt in Raiders of the Lost Ark.  For the youngins who do not get the reference:

The pavement was dry until I brought the hose out.  The rain was overnight.  The cameras are coming.  I'm cool with all the neighbors.  One person comes to mind who visits a neighbor though.  He was over yesterday too but I don't think he was there that early.  I contemplated driving it to the gym yesterday.  Hindsight says I should have.....

$6500 and it's yours Scott ;)

Also I wear shorts in about any weather if it's above 25 or so degrees Fahrenheit (holy  I spelled it right on the first try according to my auto-correct).
I been hittin my legs HARD in the past 3 months.  Start with barbell squats, do my entire routine and then hit up the reverse V-squat machine and go heavy on it.  The reverse V-squat has helped immensely with healing a groin injury I sustained over the summer.  My knees haven't felt as good as they do now in about 15 years.  It's helped my lower back too.
Personal best on the Reverse V-squat today.  on my 3rd set I went for 504 lbs.... Knocked out 9 reps.  I've never done a one rep max on the machine.  My guess is over 600...

I already filed a police report.

Will that result in a generic "accident" hit on Carfax?  Even if perhaps you don't care about Carfax for this particular instance, I'm wondering just for general purposes.

People don't respect others' property. It's a value not present from childhood all the way to the grave in this country. I equate that neglect to these same people stealing my money.  The difference is stealing usually results in the thief gaining possession of what once belonged to someone else.  Vandalism is theft from the owner but the thief doesn't usually gain possession of what the owner no longer has.  People's cats wandering around and damaging other's property are also vandals.  They just have an agent doing it for them - their cats.  That's your next concern.  That scratch on your fender looks just like several I've had over the years from outdoor pets stealing from everyone in their vicinity.
"lol.. because not too many people care for that style of car"
