they use to put me on oxygen and shoot antiinflamitories into the base of my skull but the nerologist that did it has since left town. now most hospitals look at me like im jonesing.paramedics once picked me up off the pavement when i fell out of the truck from being parlyzed buy the head ache. when i got in the ER they figured i was lookin for a hit and i stayed in the waitin room for 4 hours before leaving.... since then i have alternitive means of pain relief

That is absolutely brutal!! Doctors/nurses can be such morons when it comes to pain management. Amazingly enough, this is now a specialized practice, if you can see a specialist, I highly recommend it!! I'm sure you've already done everything you can to cope, just sucks to be so mistreated due to lack of understanding. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Holy frick, just got a quote to have the repairs done from someone keying my car, $2500.00 +. And I have to go report it to the police to get a damage sticker as its over $2,000. Grrrrrr

On a positive note, got my snows put on today, love the new rims! Don't think the stock rims are going back on in the spring, have another set in mind.

That really sucks, I never really understood why people get off damaging stuff that others worked hard to get.

If you report it to the police you should have no problem getting the work done through your insurance company. Vandalism shouldn't effect rates if you have a descent company.

If the damage isn't too extensive and is just light surface scratches you could get a color match bottle of paint, mask the area off and use an air brush to paint the scratches. A few very light coats is key. As long as the rest of the paint isn't faded it should blend pretty well, just do a wax job after the paint has fully cured. The body shop will sand, prime, paint and clear coat the area, hence the price. Not a whole lot of real body people out there these days, usually it's easier and cheaper to do panel replacement so restorative works costs a premium. There are other options like trade colleges and high schools that are alway looking for projects but your vehicle could be gone for quite a long time.

The damage is down to the metal, it was a knife not a key and covers 2 panels on the passenger side. I've only had this car since July and while I like the idea of helping students learn, it's not a car I would trust to someone learning. The shop that did the hail repairs scratched the hell out of it, so it's not going back there. Insurance can pay for it, that's what it's for.

I'm still super ****ed that someone did this, hope karma comes back around.

One can only hope. I have a couple of long scratches on my truck. My daughter saw a kid playing with a rock beside my truck but didn't bother to actually go see what he was doing so I had no proof. That was 1 1/2 years ago and I'm still mad about it, probably because I'm 99% sure what happened but can't do anything about it. I know a really good body shop up this direction but unfortunately don't have any recommendations for Calgary.
