It seems there are so many horror stories daily... I was parked at a buddies place the other day, and when I came out to my car, noticed a nice arking key scrape across the drivers door.

I don't have many enemies, that I know of, so I have a feeling it was just a neighbor bitter towards a 21 year old driving a Lexus.

Kinda OT, but does anyone got keymarks or scrapes on the inside of the door handle?

Not me. I'm guessing you're a female with long nails?
Or, you wear a big ring?

you can put clearbra material to cover the inside of the door handles.

Never from me, but they were there when I got brand new from the dealer. Try some Meguiar's ScratchX on a foam pad with a micro fiber towel to wipe off after a good wash.

That sux about your car getting keyed. I'm waiting for the day for that to happen to mine as well. Seems there are a lot of jealous a-holes out there and they do it just to spite. They know they'll never be able to afford such a nice car so they ruin everyone else's.

I swear if I ever caught anyone in the act doing that to my car I would end up in jail with assualt because I would beat the living hell out of them. Assuming he's not a body builder or golden gloves boxer

a $0 deductible is really not that much more expensive. Might want to check it out in the future.

Welcome to owning a Lexus in Oregon, people here are very hostile to anyone not on a bike or in a Prius. I feel your pain.
