How deep?

ChinoCharles · 07-17-2006, 03:10 PM

Don't feel too bad. I would be willing to bet money that I am the first person in the United States to get in an accident in a 2007 Yaris. I knocked the mirror clean off and everything, haha. New car... took it right to the body shop. I won't let my friends touch her.

If its not really deep you could by some Turtle wax and wax or buff her up...otherwise take it to a body shop and ask. I have a black car as well (no not Yaris) but anyway I acciedently scraped the side behind the back wheel...I waxed it up and it not a noticable as much...guess it depends on how much money you want to spend and how far you would go for a scratch like yours...I'm sorry to hear about that, its disrespectful to do that to someone.
Good luck and keep us posted!

More than that. It's criminal. Punk(s) should be charged.
Seriously, you have to be a sick fsck to key somebody's new car.

You lose that bet!

I bought mine on May 1. On May 2, my first commute in the Yaris LB (going through downtown Los Angeles at 6:30 AM), a guy in a 3xx BMW thought he was better than three of us in the right lane and decided to pass us where there was only a narrow shoulder. I heard him but could not see him until he was on my right side, scraping it from front to back.

I found out how fast the Yaris could go!!!and chased him down as he tried to speed off the freeway. I waved my cell phone out my window as I took pictures of his car and he pulled over. We exchanged info, me ranting at him the whole time. His insurance company paid US$1,100 to fix my car. After eleven days in the shop (and me driving a ^$^*)*)(*()*() little Kia), it was as good as new.

Hahahahaha. Touche man. I can't even believe you kept up with a bimmer in a Yaris. My Mom has had a 328i and a 325xi, and they were easily two of the fastest stock cars I had ever experienced. Makes me feel a little better, though...

x F'N 2!!! What's with people nowadays?? I thought it was an unwritten guy rule to NEVER mess with someone elses vehicle??

Buckethead · 08-01-2006, 07:18 PM

Didn't get keyed, almost keyed someone else...

Parked in an underground structure, left, did my thing etc... Came back, and 2 Altimas boxed me in to the left, and right... Mind you, I parked in a compact spot... So did they! No way I could go in through the driver's side, had to go in through the passenger side. I'm a tall dude, 6'3... I almost went in for the kill shot, when I stopped, took a breath... and let it go.... It's the whole Karma thing that got me...

FYI Altimas are not compact!

ceres · 08-02-2006, 08:56 AM

I do have to say I'm tempted everytime some jackass decides to park his car at an angle and take up two spots.

I dunno, we got our car back in May and two weeks later hit a deer.
