Time to first damage (The Golf Accident Thread)

[backdoc]

A chemist delivery boy (belonging to the pharamcist below my clinic) tonight decided to throw some hard plastic object against a wall. And guess what? It bounces off, hits my 8 week old car and chips the paint in one spot on my bonet and another on the front quarter panel. To say I'm upset is somewhat of an understatement. Little 14 year old s*#t. Wanted to belt him, but I'm an adult and know better.......supposedly.

Kept my cool. What was the point anyway. Far worse happens every day. Just so careless. Anyways, Chemist was very good. I got the impression they would pay to have it repaired. Just a massive PITA

ok... my first post in this thread... never thought I will end up having to write in this thread until today.

my car got keyed in Burwood plaza carpark... both doors on the left hand side got keyed. looks like some %*(#&#@ moron decided that they cannot afford a new VW and have to cause damage to others' property.

my car is only just over 3 months old FFS and I intent to keep it for at least 10 years. I replaced my volvo after 12 years and I also had keyed on left hand side for both doors too.

$&*(@#%&#* how lucky is that huh? what da F?CK!!! why are people SOOO F LOW nowadays!

sorry about the rampaging in here as I never done anything like this to people and they have to do this to you.

anyway, does anyone have any recommendation on repairers so that my doors can be repaired and look new (hopefully without the the paint doesn't match etc)?

again, sorry about the post as I'm sooooooo piss after you saved up with your blood money buying something nice to appreciate your hard work and some moron has to lay their hands to damage it.

sorry to hear about that mate. my mum's Subaru got keyed recently too and boy does the feeling suck. hope you'll be able to get it fixed soon. but on the bright side, the inevitable dings/ scratches that come with use wont hurt as much anymore

[boshala]

It's kinda of depressing that you get people with such an ill intent to cause malicious damage to others perhaps for the joy of that person have to spend money to fix it or whatever.

Personally I can stand careless mistake when someone carelessly open their door and accidentally hit ur car... But with ill intent like this... Sigh.

Surely the effect has worn off a bit. Still hurt everytime ilook at it and not sure how tough the rust proofing can withstand that and whether I should get it repaired.

Oh well. Life goes on I suppose and I'll be one repair poorer

Funny you should say that, mine also got keyed at the Burwood plaza carpark just a few weeks ago, managed to keep it damage free for two years.

They are morons. Lack of respect, lack of self-control, lack of discipline. I can guarantee that there would be at least two of them walking along, one keying your car, the other saying "Hey man, how cool was that?" (high five) This sort of behaviour makes my blood boil.

[Molotov]

They're not morons, they're misunderstood and they've been neglected by society. They should be shown tolerance and respect and love and it's really a reflection of our failure to nourish them, and not their fault.

If it can work in London, it can work here t... oh, cancel that, London is a pile of ash now because they showed 'tolerance' for three days!

What a maggot. Sorry to hear. The sooner responsibility and cost is placed back on the individual or their parents, the sooner this sort of deviant behaviour will be reduced.

[Capercat]

The cops were ordered to be tolerant in London so the rioters could maximize damage... Oldest trick in the book in order to rob law abiding citizens from their liberties (what's left of them) by passing even stricter draconian laws.

Take a look at NSW, some of the strictest guns, knives, even slingshot laws in the world and yet gun crime has skyrocketed. God help the residents of Sydney should a riot ever take place.

Wow. Went and got a quote today. Holy s#*t. Respray the entire front quarter panel and the bonet! $1000. Neeedless to say the kids boss wasn't impressed. Just hope this all works out ok. That kid is going to get his a?$e kicked!

finally .. damage

After 12.5 months of ownership - finally scratched my passenger side front rims on a bloody gutter...

no other damage so far - fingers' crossed

[Mariani]

Washed my car today and found a deep scratch on rear left door. Approx 4th long. No Idea how it happened. Very sus.

[Frankenstrat]

Yes, washing mine yesterday I noticed a whole rash of chips on the bonnet & front wings and one on the passenger A-pillar. Those would mostly be from stones thrown up by trucks on the freeway. There was a long rub mark down the passenger door, it will probably buff out. I also noticed a scratch on the rear LH rim, I've no idea where that came from. I looks like it was made by a screwdriver.

This thread has my name written all over it. Picked her up in May this year. Currently at the smash repairers after an altercation with a Kangaroo...
