My Car is a Damage Magnet

So I go on vacation only to come back and find that even though I parked my car out of the way at the appartment complex to make sure no one bumped it or scratched it, someone STILL scratched the hood of my car all to hell. What pisses me off worse than the simple fact that it is now scratched through the paint to the metal, is that it's on the HOOD of my car, not the side, not the back, not the bumper, but the HOOD! How the hell do you manage that???
Every scratch, dent, and ding that is on that car I didn't put there. It makes me so angry that people would disrespect someone else's property so much that they would go out of their way to damage it. I've been careful to take care of my car, hell, I wash and wax the thing by hand at least once every month until it just gets too cold to do so. I usually don't park in a hazardous parking spot >_> I park next to a curb most often and give the person next to me plenty of room yet I STILL get the biggest dings in my car.
This isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened either.
I have one of those leather things on the front to keep the front end from being dinged by rocks while on the road (called a bra >_>) and once I took it off the car to wash it only to find someone had slipped a paperclip down in it and the paperclip had rusted to my car. Before that I had to watch some ******* slam his car door right into mine and since no one else saw it and he won't own up to it even after I SAW him do it. Insurance won't cover the damage because I only have liability, it's all I can afford. Oh and this has gone on before I even owned the car. It's been rear-ended (which got fixed) and before that someone took a pocket knife to it and scratched it really deep all the way from the front to the back and it had to be repainted. (That's when it was two weeks old.)
I know I might sound kinda petty, and I know it's not the end of the world or anything but that car has a lot of sentimental value to me ;___; I've been around it since I was ten years old and it's always been in perfect shape and now THIS! if only I had enough money to restore it to it's previous condition or to afford better coverage. Or if only people had to frigging braincells to rub together to know not to touch my frigging car! Or anyone else's for that matter.
I hate people.

If it's not your license plate, you might want to think about changing your tires.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

:< some ppl are just complete jerks x.x
We had some guys running trough the street we live kicking off the side-mirrors.
We own a pretty old car (volvo GLE 264) And the side-mirror already fell off once <___>"
had to re-attach it again, dunno if the guys ever got caught...
Hope you'll be able to restore the car one day Kyna

Lol, your car looks a billion times better than my POS car. It's a 2000 ford focus, only 11 years old. It was free from a family friend, but the dude who had it before us completely destroyed it. He must;ve blown up 5 different flavors of soda in the backseat. The interior looked like he took a razor to every hard plastic piece in there, the steering wheel was always sticky. The radio wouldn't work unless you stuck a dime under the plastic. Lol.
It's really bad but I still really love it.
But it did make me a bit angry when I parked my car at my old highschool and I come back to find someone tested their window markers all over my windows. They didn't write anything, it was just scribbles. >.>
But I'm sure if my car was nice to begin with I'd be just as upset.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

THIS is why I drive a truck ^.^
Only complete dumbasses have enough balls to mess with a truck, cause there is a 99% chance that the person who it belongs too will come out and kick your *** so far down your throat you will be ****ting into your intenstines.0 -

Well it's generally expected that the person that owns a truck is probably a big guy with a nasty attitude... I got the attitude but I am no guy... nor am I big =_= it sucks being unable to be intimidating. I would actually have to shove my foot up someone's **** in order to be intimidating to anyone else >_> even if my bf says that the look in my eyes when I saw that damage was rather scary.
This didn't happen when I drove the old mustang either. =_= of course, again, an old mustang with mods clicks in people's brains suddenly that the person behind the wheel must be a man. What does a cute girl have to do to be intimidating? Mount someone's head on a pike?

Even forum trolls have had those "Nooooo! Not my car!" moments. No matter how close to scrap someone's first car is, it's still their baby and they will freak out at any scratches or dents it may acquire after being purchased. I know I did when I bought my first car and someone nicked it with a shopping cart the next day.You have three chances to guess the reason for the post above.0 -

I wouldn't say I'm big and scary, but if you mess up my truck there is a 100% chance that you'll be found in a roadside ditch out along alligator ally if the gators don't have a pig fest on you first ^.^0 -

Would you happen to have a gun rack in the back of your truck and a bumper sticker that says "Guns don't kill people, I do"?You have three chances to guess the reason for the post above.0 -

Nooo.
I'm not enough of a hillbilly to have the gun rack. Though I do have a bumper sticker that says "Touch my truck and you'll learn the meaning of gator tears."0 -
I don't have bumper stickers, although I really wish there were a way to communicate with people in other cars... like a sign that can be seen through their rearview mirror that says stuff like, "THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45 WHY ARE YOU GOING 30??" or "It's called an Accelerator Pedal you push it with your foot!"[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
