Thumbs down Martha got keyed :(

I was inside wal-mart and came out to a key mark on the driver side. It went from the back panel all the way across the door. I was pretty upset. Martha doesnt have a great paint job..but still its my car and makes me mad that someone would do that.

I went and talked to wal mart about getting security tapes and they said I had to file a police report. I called the police and they just took information over the phone. They really didnt seem to interested in finding out who it was.

I do have insurance and they are going to cover it, with no deductible. I got an estimate today (at a body shop that my cousin works at) and they said it will cost 1,297$. So as of now I'm just waiting on my insurance company to contact me.



Also, my cousin said he can do the job on the side and he will paint the whole car for 1,500$ any color I want. So maybe it will work out for the best!

I really just need somewhere to rant thanks for listening

I've always been trying to come up with a way to electrify the exterior of Nubz (and my S14) by arming the alarm.

Something like this could work as well: Car Flame Alarm.
