Sick And Tired Of The Jealousy!
I can not take it anymore.
In only my third week of college already I am beyond the point of aggravation.
First someone put a piece of gum on my hood. Left a nice string of it behind when I took it off... I still can't get it all off.
Then today I went to look at my car.. ya kno.. a little admiring at my house and I find a nice long key mark (evidently done sometime day) along the entire passenger front door. I was irate!
I have no problems with anyone at school and don't understand why people must do this. If I ever find the person they better pray to God because I won't stop after I start on them.

... Attached a pic I took at night. It's not good obviously but you get the idea. It's much longer then this short area also.

That SUCKS. Sounds like you need to get a beater for school. Where in NJ are you?

This may sound dumb, but I used to wear jersey's like the Kobe bryant MPLS, Dirk Nowitzki, JOrdan, and other sports jerseys when I had my honda. For some reason, I don't dress like that anymore with my Lex. Just don't want haters thinking I'm trying to be a baller or something, intern messing up my car.

NRG: I don't know what made you say this, but no, I don't think I am better then anyone because of the car I drive. I respect all people from whatever walk of life they come from. I especially admire people with cars that are mod'ed or elegently done, body or engine. I just don't know who could of done this. I can't wait to find out. They will suffer.

It's common sense that you shouldn't bring a nice car to college, unless you go to one of those schools where every other freshmen drives a Mercedes. College students can and will do anything. But if you have to, always keep your car in a closed garage (and even then it's not 100% safe).
Sorry you have to learn the hard way. Car vandalism sucks.

Sorry to hear that.
Maybe they think the Lexus IS your beater car, which makes them even more jealous.
You'll be safer with a Honda or something to drive to school.

Bottom line...a college campus is NOT the place for a nice lexus such as your GS. In addition the a-holes that do that shiz on purpose, there are so many others that will accidently ding your car when they open their door (and not give it a second thought). Or the paint can get scratched in about a dozen other ways where people are just being careless. If you're only in your 1st or 2nd year at school, buy a beater!

Now Captain man I feel so bad for you. I was with my friend in Saratoga, he drives a new Infiniti FX35 and someone keyed his car. The point I am trying to make is that there are people in this world that just hate, and there isn't anyway to stop them unless you catch them and well you know. I wish you the best don't waorry it can be fixed.

During my junior and senior college years, I drove an ES around. I don't recall anyone hatin' on my car, although of course I received a lot of comments from my friends saying I have a "pimp" car As anyone from Boston knows, parking is tough and terrible within the city, let alone finding those "free" spots or spots with broken/missing meters (there is NO way I was going to pay for a semester parking permit). Eventually I found myself an apt during the senior year 15 min outside of Boston, and I didn't have to bring my ES to the city much, thank God.
One of my friends just started college in UConn, and he had no intention of bring his $40K modded S-class to school, so he quickly sold it and bought himself a beater Jeep. Wise decision for him

That is so completely wrong--I don't care what the reasoning, there is no excuse for abusing someone else's property like that.
That being said, I don't like your comments about how if you find out who did it "they better pray to God because I won't stop after I start on them" and "They will suffer". Let's assume first off that you're a big enough bad-azz to dole out some physical punishment--do you want to wind up in jail on assault and battery charges? If you can photograph them in the act next time then you can press your own charges. Otherwise I think you should let a higher power handle it--what goes around comes around and you don't need to be bringing more negativity down on yourself by stooping to their level.

As for the comment about having to buy a beater... As some other have said, why do I need a beater? People should respect it far enough not to have to go and scratch the car. The weird part about this whole episode is I A) parked a good 2 lots away from anyone at all and B) campus security was parked right near me when I came in and when I left college. The whole thing just doesn't make sense. I wish I could go buy a beater but being in college most of my mod'ing has come to an end and money is tight paying for college right now. I don't have a few K to throw around for another car, although I wish I did. I would love to just ask the person who did this why though? OH well.. today is another day.
