Someone keyed my car!

[justin]

Someone keyed my car... Bastards... I happened to be looking at my car and noticed something funny (the car is dirty so naturally I didn\'t see it right away) and I go over to check it, and HOLY FARK! Some farkstick keyed my ride!!! The paint is ok in some areas, and deep in others and thankfully, they only hit one panel (the passenger side rear door)

Anyone got any suggestions as to if I should hit it with the paint pen or have it professionally done at a shop?

[Chuckie]

I hope that low life dies.

[mit-gee-mui]

Whether it\'s naturally or unnaturally, he/she eventually will.:p :D

Sorry to hear... the paint pen won\'t do a good job fixing the scratches... it barely does a good job covering the stone chips. IMHO.

LMAO!


Sorry to hear about the car.
I don\'t think paint pens are very effective for long scratches. You\'ll be able to see the \"line\".

[Broli]

that sux man!

sorry to hear about this!

you find the kid and i will kill him!

deal!

[doug E fresh]

I think it all depends on what your deductable is...

Sorry about your luck.:(

[Chuckie]

Claiming insurance wouldn\'t be cost effective in this situation.

oh MGM: let me rephrase my statement
I hope that low life dies of unnatural causes in the near future. that cause: Broli.

[chinsterr]

Sorry flipspeed , but the paint pen sux arse . I should have just used some white out as it would have probably looked the same (maybe even better) than the results of the paint pen .

Dont use the paint pen

[3GFX]

Nu Finish came out with a new scratch remover polish, that may tide you over MOM or until you get a paint job.

I hope the little ****er dies too who did that to you. I\'m sure some people have leaned on my car. Make and example of that little **** when you catch him Broli.

Broli can probably take him in one bite.

Don\'t have to say sorry to me. I\'ve used the paint pen on my 3 and had no issues. Maybe just the white 3\'s.:p

Justin, this didn\'t have anything to do with your blue/white colors did it?(you should hunt the person down and key their face.)

[cyberscorpi0]

Where did this happen? Can you Post some PICS of the scratches?

I used Meguiar\'s SCRATCH X for my unfortunate incidents in the past.

[SIM SIMMA]

If you want to use Scracth X don\'t buy it... there are many people here on the board that will gladly lend it to you I am sure...

I am quite sure it does. Farking anti-semites. And yes I\'d love to key their face. But alas, there are laws.

[justin]

The car is going into MoT for a paint job tomorrow morning, as I don\'t want to drive around with a nice key mark on our brand new car and I want the car looking nice for MOM. Speaking of which, I have business cards from my work (Issac\'s Auto Spa) and some cards from Kevin at TWM, as well as TWM stickers (like the one on my ride), which I will be bringing with to MOM.

Speaking of TWM, I got my shift boot today from them, http://www.twmperformance.com/shiftboots/installed/mazda3/ and it looks very nice. Beautiful design, nice premium leather, and a pretty decent price as well.

[iconicrocket]

Ok, we need bring back the death penalty. :p

Gets off too easily... How about the cane or something else that\'ll leave marks like he did to the car.

I was wondering the same thing.
I don\'t put anything on my car even during the World Cup cuz I\'m worried something like this would happen (unless I know I\'ll park somewhere safe).
That sucks man.

The problem is this: Jews, regardless of where they are, are an easy target. Especially when they have a sense of nationalistic pride, and fly the flag of the State of Israel. Anit-Israel sentiment is so strong these days, that just being in the wrong neighbourhood with such an item on your car will get you in a scuffle. Jews have been eas targets for hundres of years. We were even blamed for the Black Plague.

A few days ago, I was driving down York Mills Rd, and some guy who thought he was being funny yells out \"Go Lebanon!\" as I drove by. Obviously he supports Hizbulla, and in the same breath, accuses Israel of being a terrorist state that murdered thousands of Palestinians in the 50\'s and 60\'s. I argued that what\'s back home is back home and what\'s here is here.

Here\'s a free history lesson from me to you, courtesy of Wikipedia.


Between 1954 and 1955, under Moshe Sharett as prime minister, the Lavon Affair, a failed attempt to bomb targets in Egypt, caused political disgrace in Israel. Compounding this, in 1956, Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, much to the chagrin of the United Kingdom and France. Following this and a series of Fedayeen attacks, Israel created a secret military alliance with those two European powers and declared war on Egypt. After the Suez Crisis, the three collaborators faced international condemnation, and Israel was forced to withdraw its forces from the Sinai Peninsula.

In 1955, Ben-Gurion once again became prime minister and served as such until his final resignation in 1963. After Ben-Gurion\'s resignation, Levi Eshkol was appointed to the post.

In 1961, the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, who had been largely responsible for the Final Solution, the planned extermination of the Jews of Europe, was captured in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and brought to trial in Israel. Eichmann became the only person ever sentenced to death by the Israeli courts.

On the political field, tensions once again arose between Israel and her neighbors in May 1967. Syria, Jordan, and Egypt had been hinting at war, and Egypt expelled UN Peacekeeping Forces from the Gaza Strip. When Egypt closed the strategic Straits of Tiran to Israeli vessels, Israel deemed it a casus belli for pre-emptively attacking Egypt on June 5. After the ensuing Six-Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors, the Jewish State emerged triumphant. Israel had defeated the armies of three large Arab states and decimated their air forces. Territorially, Israel conquered the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, and Golan Heights. The Green Line of 1949 became the administrative boundary between Israel and her Occupied Territories, also called Disputed Territories. However, Israel has spread its administrative domain to East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. The Sinai was later returned to Egypt following the signing of a peace treaty.

In 1967 Israeli aircraft attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 American servicemen. American and Israeli investigations into the incident concluded that the attack was a tragic accident involving confusion over the identity of the Liberty.

In 1969 Golda Meir, Israel\'s first and to date only female prime minister was elected.

Now... you tell me. Is Israel a terrorist state, when all we want is peace? We have NEVER invaded or attacked an Arab state, with the exception of Egypt in \'67, but that was due to agressive moves played out by Egypt. Since that time, Egypt and Jordan have been allies of Israel.

Israel has a G-d given right to defend itself against its aggressors, just like we did on July 7, 1981, when the Israeli Air Force bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osiraq in an attempt to foil Iraqi efforts at producing an atomic bomb, that was to be used against Israel.

It seems to me that people get the idea we are a terrorist state for many reasons, one of the famous reasons being the Sabra and Shatila massacres of 1982, during the Israeli occupation of Lebanon. Israel was not even aware of what was going on, and NEVER took part in this, as was determined by a lengthy and costly investgation.

What saddens me the most is that a peaceful country like Israel bears the brunt of the world\'s hate. And that\'s very disappointing. Israel is SUCH a beautiful country, as I spent three weeks there last summer... I saw things in my home that I will never see in any other place in the world. How can such a beautiful place be the home of such violence?

The point of this rant is this: The Jews and the Arabs are PERFECTLY compatible. There is nothing wrong with us. The average Arab wants to live his/her life in peace. So does the average Jew. At least here, we have something in common.

I hope that this has given you a little insight into my way of thinking as far as anti-Semitic sentiment is concerned, and if you want to continue this discussion with me, either here or in person, I\'d be more than happy to do so.

I\'d agree with that statement, it seems as though dem Brits c*cked up big time!

From Wikipedia:

\"By the standards of international diplomacy, the Balfour Declaration of 1917 is an amazing document, succinctly summarized by Arthur Koestler who wrote that the declaration amounted to \"one nation solemnly promised to a second nation the country of a third.\" Beyond the textual content of the Balfour Declaration - it was made up of just three sentences and some 125 words in total - its significance lies in how it came to pass and what impact it had both on the course of World War I and subsequent events culminating in the formation of Israel.\"

\"In his November, 2002 interview with the New Statesman magazine, the UK Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, has blamed Britain\'s imperial past for many of the modern political problems, including the Arab-Israeli conflict. [3]

\"The Balfour declaration and the contradictory assurances which were being given to Palestinians in private at the same time as they were being given to the Israelis—again, an interesting history for us, but not an honourable one,\" he said.\"

BTW the individual who keyed your car is a dumba$$ whoever he/she may be and whatever their reason was!

[TheProfessor]

Wow, talk about a thread going in a totally different direction!

Since we\'re on the subject, I have to admit that I just don\'t know enough of the history to make an educated decision one way or the other. I have heard points from very well educated people that indicate each side is \'in the right\'. I will say this though, I really do appreciate the fact that I/we live in such a great country. I\'ve never taken that for granted and hopefully never will.

Seriously, lets not let this thread degenerate into a political flameout. This has all the ear marks of the \"is there a God\" thread that Whos ur dadd started up.

:D

[Broli]

hey
discussion is discussion Cardi

as long as it is repectful it is ok!


my background is half Palestinian muslim (dads side) and have hungarian Jew (moms side)

i am not religious, as has been documented, lol

but i feel that i can agree with and disagree with some of justin\'s comments

i would say yes the average israeli and palestinian want peace, but the leadership
for both groups are not interested in that.

terrible things happened to jewish people during WWII and there is still anti-semetic sentiments in many european nations, and that is wrong,

regarless that does not justify what isreal is doing today
they are opressing and slaugtering palestinians with complete disregard for civilians,
their response to 2 soldiers being kidnapped was excessive, how many hezboallah and palestinian millitants do they have in prisons? i am certain it is more than 2!
they have destroyed the infrastucture in Lebanon, and now the lebanese people will have to suffer for that for many years.

Israel has military dominance in the region for now, thanks to american support, however, hezboallah has shown others in the region that a small group of millitants (3000 soldiers or so) can wreak havoc on the mightiest nation in the region (with an army size of 500 000 or so). this is not good for israel and i shudder to think what would happen if agression was to start between israel and syria or iran, the death tolls on both sides would be terrible!

i seem to recall former prime minister Sharon, saying something along the lines of this
\"palestinians do have their own county, its called jordan!\"
when ur leaders say things like that (even if its b4 they get into office)
you are not likely to have peace!!!!

now i am open minded, so i am interested in hearing what you have to say, hell i will probably be at the meet and we can talk about it. this is always an interesting debate.

i feel uniquely at liberty to speak my mind on this topic, as my background covers both sides of the conflict, however, don\'t misinterpret what i say, i am not ok with any sort of jew or muslim bashing,
hell i have experienced both, when i was in grade 6, some kid in grade 8 found out my dad was born in Israel, and he decided to pick on me (it is funny cause my dad is muslim and palestinian)
well i beat his ass (i was a big kid you know)
that was my only experience with anti-semitism, personally,
somekids were giving my mom a hard time once calling her racial slurs,
i smacked the biggest one in the face, and told them to take
turns appologizing to my mom,
hey, u have to look out for you mom!
but in general i find that there is more anti-brown people sentiments in society nowadays,
especially once you get out of metropolitan areas!
i get the anti-brown man thing pretty often!

so to sum up, i am anti-israel, just as i am anti-america and anti-britian, because i believe that their foregin and domestic policies and strategies and tactics are disgusting! (all 3 countries)
that doesn\'t mean that their people are bad. I am NOT anti-israeli, anti-american, and anti-british, and that is a huge difference!

in democratic countries you are responsible for your government, just like we are responsible for the farkstick we have in parliment at the momement.
the people pay the prices for the behaviour of their governments, and that unfortunately is life!

Find out who did it, and run over his dog with your scratched 3.


I guess that\'s one reason I\'d never put a flag, or anything like that, even personal plates on my car. There is a punk kid out there for every issue, that will take exception and not think before they act.

If I caught someone in the act of defacing my car, I don\'t know if I\'d be able to control myself. Which would be very bad for said punk kid.
