I came home a bit past 11 p.m last night. My car looked great, no need to inspect it, whatever.
I woke up around 8 this morning, went outside and saw scratch upon scratch upon scratch EVERYWHERE on my CSS! They even keyed the ******* wing!
I don't know who did it; I honestly can't point to any one person and even hint that he/she might've done it because I don't know anyone who holds a grudge against me.
I already filed a police report and called my insurance company. Fortunately, I have full coverage insurance.
The worst thing, besides the fact that I might never find out who the a-hole(s) was/were who did this to my car, is that now if I ever try to sell or trade the car, it's value will be shitty. People will ask why I had to have it repainted... Ugh...

BTW, I don't have pics yet, but I'll be sure to take some post them later. FWIW, I think they also removed the cap off of my front passenger side tire. I'm not sure, though, because I haven't inspected the tires (before today) in a few weeks.

 

Also, I know they targeted my Cobalt SS specifically because there's a Toyota Corolla and Toyota Tacoma parked right next to my car and neither were damaged (thankfully). Maybe these punks thought it'd be cool to key a car that looks better than whatever the **** they drive. I don't know...
I'm having a lot of irrational thoughts right now. I know it's just a car, but in the end of the day, it's MY car... I hope I can find the *******(s) who did this and leave them with a bunch of ******* scratches... No, scratch that. Leave them dead.

 

that sucks man. Hope you find out who did it!

 

I'm taking crime scene technology this semester at college, I learned that it's nearly impossible to get prints off a rock or brick, and they just dust em to make the person who asks happy

Go to town

 

yeah i've had someone write "this car ******* sucks" in my dirt on my rims

 

Yeah man hopefully you find out who did it and subd for pics!

 

What do you guys think will happen now, though? I'm sure my insurance company will repaint my car (at least I hope they do)...
Do you think they'll force me to go with the same color it currently is or will I be able to choose a different color? If that's the case, I think I want to switch colors so the next time these idiots see my car, they'll be like, "****, we made it look even better now!"
BTW, I normally park in the garage... I should've just parked in the garage last night, too.

 

i hate people...

 

I would assume it would be the same color because it would be more expensive to fully repaint the car, they wouldn't have to go into the jams and engine bay just to fix scratches

If not you must go white

 

Such a coward thing to do. Only a p*ssy keys another mans car.

 

i would leave it the same colour, in for pics

 

Well wouldnt the insurance cut you a check for the damage and you can get whatever you want.

 

from experiance i had hail damage on my old car, about 5thousand in damage, whatever the bill was they payed it, it was done by gm with some other stuff they done too

 

My mazda tribute was keyed all the way around and broke into with the headliner cut to shreds. They estimated the damage and cut me a check for 4,700. I never had it fixed just the headliner so I say yes you can do what ever you want with money

 

If I'm getting it painted a different color, I want to go with one that isn't OEM or similar.

 

Im going matte white here soon.
Get a sick purple

 

If you are concerned about resale value why not just paint it the OEM color?

This stuff is really annoying. Last summer some *****(s) pried the SS badge off my trunk lid and were not very accurate with the pry tool....

I don't get what possess people to do this random vandalism. Hell, if they would have asked I would have just bought them a set of SS badges for 15 bucks if they wanted 'em that badly....

 

Ouch, i'm sorry to hear that :X

 

To be honest, I'm not concerned with resale value. I plan to keep this car for as long as it continues to run. I was just thinking that if the day ever does come when I decide to trade up (or down, whatever), I won't get as much money as I would have if idiot(s) didn't vandalize the car.


Can any of you guys please photoshop a pic of a Cobalt SS some non-OEM colors so I can get an idea of what I color I might want to do? I'd greatly appreciate it.

 

Here's some pics:



If you look closely, the *******(s) keyed "SS" on the door.

 

man they really fucked your car up. sucks man i hope everything works out for you

 

oh hellllllll nooooooo i would be cracking skulls.....but karma is a bitch they will get their's

 

Damn! thats messed up.

 

You fell victim to a fews kids drawing on your car like a chalk board having a good ol time..

 

Good God,i hope those ****** get thiers
