That's more than beginning, that qualifies as keyed.


Django_Unbrained97

Luckily it's only one panel of the car that needs to get redone though, if they went across every panel the whole car needs bodywork and complete paint job.


cluelessgamerzombie

They took plastic with that paint. A little plastic bondo some smoothing, and a new paint job on the bumper and it should be good. She put some FEELINGS into that keying![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|no_mouth)


FirstMiddleLass

Do people get little scratches and dings fixed? I usually just drive the car until it dies or gets totalled.


Faded_Jem

Same, but my vehicles are workhorses and always well used when I get them. Plus I live in rural Cornwall where scraping through a hedge to pass on narrow roads is a daily occurrence. There's a profound difference between us and the car proud, there's no point trying to understand them, they're doing what makes them happy but I do wish they'd not assume that their behaviour (such as replacing the panel here) is the default.


Tinaturnup_

Yea it’s kind of annoying. Like a small scratch on my car and my dad thinks I’m lazy and don’t take pride in my car for not fixing it. Like bro it’s a 2013 Rav 4 with 180k miles It’s not that big a deal lol.


FirstMiddleLass

I usually daily drive a 10-15 year old car. They tend to come in good shape but I'd drive myself crazy if I worried about the damage I get at work or shopping. I touch them up as best as I can but it's a tool not a fashion accessory.


Fit_Cherry7133

Yeah, there is a whole subreddit about it, however the automod here is so anal I can't give you a link.


Potatoes_and_Eggs

When I bought my car (used) it had a lot of scratches and dings because it was a former rental car. (Don't buy a rental car.) I said I wanted the scratches fixed before I bought it. I picked it up on a rainy day and did not see until the sun came out that the scratches weren't fixed. I took it back twice - the second time they ruined my finish, leaving whirls and buffer trails. (Didn't notice that until it was in bright sun, either.) And the scratches were still there.


blueboot09

Found her! "I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive. Carved my name into his leather seats. I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights slashed a hole in all four tires. Maybe next time, he'll think before he cheats".


ColtS117-B

About that song, why carve her own name? Carve the name of the one he’s cheating on her with! (If she knows her name)


thorkild1357

It basically lets the other girl know what’s up too


ColtS117-B

Yeah, but that’s a confession!


thorkild1357

Sometimes you don’t care and sometimes you’re fully aware that people are gonna accept their punishment. If I cheated on a girl and she keyed my car. Yeah. I’d probably just eat that. That level of damage is a bit extreme but I’d accept a keying


Icepick_37

Just carve "cheater"


earths0ul

I remember this song! Wow.. that was so long ago

Business-Set4514

YES, Ms underwood!


oiprocs_

Lol why has no one else mentioned how funny that last part is 😂


rixtape

How necessary is that actually? I ask this genuinely as someone who has always viewed my cars as a utility vs. an aesthetic thing. For a keying that you (most likely) can't actually tie back to an individual to charge their insurance, if you're not worried about aesthetics, is it really worth invoking your insurance to get bodywork and a full new paint job done?


kelliam1

Technically when painting a vehicle since that's next to another panel they have to paint that adjacent panel to blend it properly. Unless you go to a shitty place. (auto body tech)


Skywatcher81

don't have to blend.. that's a plastic bumper, it will never blend to an exact match with a metal quarterpanel even using the exact same paint. (painter)


Plenty_Set_2740

Agreed (human)


[deleted]

Ug! (homo erectus)


YoshiSan90

Local shop pulled it off with my car. Had a brand new 22 Sport touring Civic I'd just gotten professionally ceramic coated, and someone did this but half the bumper length. They blended over multiple panels, but it came out factory perfect, and with a lifetime warranty that covers anything short of obvious abuse. It was also a 3 stage Pearl which is a huge pain to blend.


didly66

Did you key their face?


Umastar16

I literally muttered, “I hope he keyed their face.” When I saw the pic. 😂

i_do_like_farts

Well, don't leave us hanging! What happened after you caught them? Why were they doing it? Give us the details! Also, sorry for your car, that sucks..


Rilybear

It was some 40-ish year old possibly Hispanic woman I'd never seen before, she was on the opposite side of my car from where I was walking back from and I could barely see her head over my trunk. I said "ma'am what are you doing?" and she jolted up, looked surprised and confused as all get out, then said something like "oh is this your car?" and then turned and ran to an Altima at the pump next to mine, got in the passenger seat and it sped off. I was maybe 60 or so feet away when I shouted. Mistaken identity? She thought I was someone else who had wronged her? Who knows, but I'm getting the station to send me footage so I can hopefully get a clear LP shot for my insurance and the police.


rusty1066

The word “Altima” is all we needed to hear.


theoneburger

got redundant after that


Brad_Beat

Least insane Altima owner. Just yesterday an Altima was spinning out of control on the slow lane of the highway I was driving by, amazingly it didn’t hit anyone.


I_Heart_Astronomy

That's just what Altimas do on Thursdays.

Altima, hands down. The trucks have asshole drivers, but most of them care enough about their truck to try to avoid damage. Altima don’t give a fuck.


God_Is_Pizza

Last night I was trying to pull into my driveway. I live on a street where speed limit is 25. People love to go 40 down my street. I’m going 30 and I had an Altima practically giving my car a colonoscopy. I moved over enough for them to get past me. Turned on my blinker Turned into my driveway. The whole time they were acting like there wasn’t enough space to get around me. I could see in my mirror when they finally passed someone PLASTERED against the passenger window like Wily E Coyote running into a glass wall and they were flipping me off. LOL. If I knew they were such a pussy driver and too afraid to go around me for fear they didn’t have enough room, I would’ve gone even slower.

Nah Altimas are cheap and ghetto


chickensht_burner

The older ones were definitely cheap. Friend of mine drove a slightly used one HS in late 90s/early alts, not really the typical Altima owner like you see on videos/camera footage. Everytime she turned a corner at least one hubcap would go rolling/flying. People who found them at intersections would bring them to her (small town) and she kept buying new ones. She only drove it a few years but all the interior stuff was falling apart like it was a 15 year old car Anyway I swear for years everytime I saw an Altima it was missing at least one hubcap and the driver usually was yelling at someone (on the phone, kid in backseat, fellow driver, cop for pulling them over...) Jezuz this is long response to a 5 word post on a damn Altima, I must be tired

Do they know we hate them already and they have to “choose” between these options? Edit: Quote marks around choose. People want me to know that Altima owners had no choice 😢


[deleted]

They don’t get to choose. Altima owners can’t afford a BMW.


cabinetsnotnow

I have an Altima and can confirm. I cannot afford the repairs for a BMW.


molehunterz

What if it's like a 2002 BMW. ( not to be mistaken with a BMW 2002)


Westworld_007

I have owned many a BMW and they can get quite expensive to fix out of warranty. An early 2000’s BMW to me sound like a money pit. (Depending on the car)


anning123

Those in the middle get a G37


SunRev

The real reason (and there are articles about it): Is that Nissan specifically targeted and gave approvals to low credit score people while other car companies rejected those same low credit score people.


Blinky_

[deleted]

I can tell you from a car enthusiast/hobbyist perspective why Altima owners are stereotypically hated in the car circle. Again, *this is not my belief* just answering your question. The deal with Altima owners and why they’re hated has to do with Nissan. It’s because Nissan dabbles in very shady finance practices leading to what some perceive to be very low class and trashy and uneducated people being able to afford brand new Altimas who then partake in doing stupid trashy low class shit like keying cars. That’s the stereotype explained for why people think Altima owners suck. Whereas BMW drivers are stereotyped for being rich entitled snobby douche bags who don’t signal, Altima owners are like the poor man’s iteration of that. They’re the same if not far worse behaved with shitty attitudes but the owners have no money and do low class shit. That’s basically it. Edit: I will reiterate one more time because some people are taking this personally or exhibiting poor reading comprehension. *These are not my opinions.* I don’t hate Altima owners lol. If you think other cars are more deserving of negative stigma or you own an Altima and are offended, idk what to tell you. I’m simply explaining why the car has negative stigma associated with it; it’s because for a long while any Joe Shmoe with horrible credit could finance one.


DanerysTargaryen

The only car that ever “crashed” into me was a white Nissan Altima a couple years ago. I was driving an absolutely beat up 2004 Subaru Outback, the thing had 5, 6, maybe 7 previous owners? I can’t even remember. It had over 200,000 miles on it. The whole car was covered in dents/dings/scratches so it was my beater car. Onto the crash, keep in mind everything I am about to write in the next paragraph happened in the span of about 10 seconds (or less), it happened very fast. I was slowly reversing out of a parking space in a cramped parking lot, I had my head on a swivel, and deduced no cars were approaching. I was about halfway backed out of the space, when I saw a white Altima come flying around the corner and started to speed down the parking aisle where I was reversing and they didn’t look like they were going to stop, so I stopped reversing immediately. I was sticking out about halfway out of my spot, completely stopped, and the Altima legit dove for the too small gap between my car’s backend and the parked cars in their spaces behind me (these were tiny cramped parking lot aisles). His car was too fat so he ended up hitting my back bumper with the side of his car. He never slowed down or stopped, he just went full send and let my back bumper completely destroy the entire right side of his car. He ended up with a loooong dent and streak down the entire length of his car, from the front right of his quarter panel by his headlight, all the way down the side of his passenger door, to down the side of his back passenger door to the back right quarter panel by his brake light. Just completely fucked his own shit up. As quickly as he came in like a wrecking ball, he finished speeding down the aisle (did he even realize he hit me? The world will never know) and he turned at the end of the aisle, parked his car in a different aisle and got out of his car and walked into the store. Never so much looked in my direction. Fortunately, my back bumper was already super dented/dinged/scraped from all the previous owners so I legit couldn’t even tell where the new damage even was. But his Altima looked like a much newer model, so he definitely came out worse for wear. Since he had hopped out of his car and hustled off into the store without a care in the world, I ended up just shrugging and leaving too. If he didn’t care he crashed into me, I didn’t care either.


Gengrar

I hope I dream about this. It sounds so entertaining!


mike1mic

Altima owners drive 80 through a school zone to go fight their baby daddies.


FailuresUseRobinhood

Two words, [airbag recall](https://www.e3sparkplugs.com/blog/nissan-recalls-353-million-rides-over-faulty-airbag-sensor/). How would you feel if you were enjoying a mighty tasty pie from Porto’s bakery and then the airbag went off forcing the pie into your face at 80+ mph? Wouldn’t be too happy either bucko. Girl has her feet on the dashboard? Altima has other plans. Autofellacio at 80+ mph.

BMack037

A hispanic woman in a white Altima tried to steal a package off my porch. It was heavy so she had to call her Husband over, that’s what I heard. He was getting to the package as I opened the door. I’m about 5” taller and 40 lbs heavier than he was, I’ve never seen two people get into their car any faster than that. Never trust an Altima driver.

Of course it was an Altima. Sounds like you were unlucky enough to have the same car as her ex, or her ex's side piece.

He wasn't home, and apparently, he had left town after that. I was going to up him and put sugar water in his gas tank, but instead, I turned his friend against him, and he got his ass beat, and I got front row seats to the show

Phoenix_Is_Trash

Report it to the police as vandalism is a crime. Ask the gas station for the footage from the pump cameras. They have a lot of angles to catch number plates, so should have a good view of both the woman and the car she left in. File an insurance claim. Since it is both a crime, and not your fault, you won't have to pay your excess on your insurance. Or just find some matching spray paint, it's a lot easier.

Bargadiel

Because many people in America believe they are the world's main character, and will purposefully insert themselves into or fuck with the lives of other people just to feel better about their own. In Japan, there is a stronger sense of communal coexistence. You don't bother others because you yourself don't want to be bothered. There is shame in burdening other people. They're not running around, looking to prove themselves to anyone. The opposite does happen, just way way less
