What possesses people to do this?
I was handwashing my 1 week old Camaro yesterday and came across some gut wrenching marks! I noticed a very fine black scribble on the drivers rear quarter panel, about 2 inches long. The more I looked, I then found several more and panic started to set in. Where was I that this could happen and who is the **LL is so nervy? The car has been parked inside our garage each night and I drove it to work for three days this week, with one quick pit stop at a small grocery store. My kids are quite old enough to know better and I don't just park anywhere - there's always a strategy involved and I couldn't dream that anyone would touch my car at work with cameras on our lot and all.
I tried carefully to rub it out, thinking it was some more grease streaks that I noticed elsewhere on the car and it didn't rub out. It was very very fine, like a fine felt tip pen and there were random scribbles along the upper edge of the wheel well, and by the rear light marker. I called a friend who does body work and he suggested rubbing alcohol or else a buffing compound and rinse with clean water. Since I'm a Nurse, I always have alcohol wipes around and it did the trick and I finished it off with a rinse. I checked over the car more and found yet another scribble just under the drivers rear signal. I took a picture of that one as I never thought of it with the others.
I am sickened by this behaviour and wonder if it was a child scribbling or a jealous adult acting like a child. I know this can happen with any car and it totally stinks, but geeze it's brand new and so special to me!
At any rate, I am ready to break some fingers!!!
