    I just came back from a nice long ride in my F car, I come out of the Rite Aid right by my house and someone keyed the driver side of my 2000 F550. I am so f***** pissed!!!! I was in the store for two seconds.

    It gets worse. Broke up with the GF yesterday. I need to drown my sorrows.

    Any advice???

    Does anyone know of a good place that can paint the side of my car or do something else to make it better.

    kind of fishy that your car gets keyed the day after you break up with your GF.

    Sorry about your ride. I really feel your pain....I had the same thing happen to my new black 996 (keyed drivers side door) and it happened a week after I split with my gf (I thought I was going to marry her). It was the roughest time of my life but i got through it, one day at a time.

    You would be surprised what can be buffed out by a good detailer. Anyhow dont worry, the worst case is that you repaint the keyed panel (at least you have an F-car..most people dream about that).

    I am in newport so if you want to roll out with me any my friends just let me know, I know lots of chicks in the area.

    No, she didn't do it. Although the break up wasn't under the best of circumstances, she did say she still cared about me and wished me luck. Anyway, she isn't that type of person. It just wasn't working out.

    I'm pretty sure it was some punk kid.

    My condolences on both events.

    My personal take on keying someone's car is that it is akin to walking up and stealing $1000-5000 right off of someone. Ruining property makes my conservative blood BOIL!

    There are many good places. If you want to keep the car local, I take my cars to Autobahn in Costa Mesa. Abe's # is 714-641-1107.

    That's what we all fear, sorry to hear that. Man, you just can't let these cars out of your sight.

    There was a guy that posted on here a while back that claims to be the painter for FoOC. They sound good and are right by John Wayne.

    Let us know how it works out for you?

    Sorry to hear. I'm sure everyone feels your pain. Personally I would contact Dave at Premier Motorsports located in Culver City, Tel. (310) 559-1564 They are a Ferrari ONLY collision shop and I believe they have a contract with FNA for F-cars that are damaged during transport. Their work is impeccable.

    Sorry about your car. That's just something you don't do. You don't mess with another man's car.

    Yes, Macallen 12 over ice should do the trick.

    PS- most of those places have cameras all over the place. Hurry and call them before they loop the tape. Maybe you can catch the simpleton that did it.

    That's some great advice. A spot close to a camera would be a good thing to keep an eye out for when you park ;)

    See if Rite aid indeed had a camera so you can find the punk and gut him like a fish. Lowest form of pond scum for sure. Sympathies!
