It may mean that you won't be able to go shopping with it or go out and eat at a fine restaurant etc. Sometimes you have to make decisions like this with certain cars. It sucks but that is the state of society in which we live in. We have a society full of jealous, hateful morons that don't have anything better to do than to cause havoc for others.
The sad part is, I always sit where I have direct sight of my car. Unfortunately.. this happened in my own driveway while I was asleep.

Sorry about your luck darling, there are several good suggestions though.
That's why I figured I'd post it on Camaro5. So many knowledgeable people willing to help.

Seriously... I get it, egging is almost a tradition.. but aren't you suppose to egg a house? Not a car! I'm so thankful I ended up being wide awake before the sun came up. It allowed me to get the eggs off before the sun hit them.

I got out the majority of it with Adam's buttery wax. But the key mark above my right headlight is too deep to get out. I'm sure you'll see it this weekend.

Don't know if you remember, but I had all three of my cars keyed in 2012. House insurance covered it under comp and only cost me $100 deductible per car to get fixed.
Who do you have insurance through?

I figured. I'm so sad! I've only had this car a month in a half.

Being on this forum for 8 years now... I've almost gotten use to being called "man".

You are so sweet! But I will NOT let you spend your hard earned money on me!

I've convinced myself that I'll be replacing my keyed bumper with a ZL1 bumper with my tax return. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!
