Default My car is scratched already!!!!!!!

Suddenly I notice that there is a lack of angry emoticons. Someone get on that!

I was at a family gathering today and my Dad noticed that there are THREE scratches on the side of my xB above the passenger side front wheel! They are not going across, but like up and down and it's weird. I really have no idea what could have done it. There have been some really windy destructive storms around here the past couple of weeks but I park with that side of the car against the house and I just don't know how these scratches happened! Also, I washed my car yesterday and took pictures (the ones in my other thread) and I did not see those scratches! WHY!?!?!

I just can't believe it happened already :-(

I'm extremely **** about where I park my xB and I rarely take it anywhere it can get a door ding or scratch.

At work I park it by itself or by someone I know I can trust. After work (which is after 2am) I'll stop by wal-mart and park all by myself.

Her home is the carport at the house - Noella's car gets stuck outside.

Sounds like puppy scratches. If they aren't deep some Meguires Scratch X may help make them less noticable.
Scion paint is CRAP! You've been cristened. Welcome to the club. Sorry tho.

Sounds like metal rivets from jeans. Someone may have been leaning against the car and giving it the ___ rub. Sorry man, should rub out.

The last meet I went to in Nashville I saw some disturbing actions. Half the Scion people there had no problems leaning/sitting on their cars. I find that strange seeing how bad the paint is. I even had one of them almost open their door into mine but luckily it didn't touch. Why do people feel the need to lean/touch cars anyhow???? Never understood that. I get people trying to lean on mine all the time and they think I'm strange when I tell them not to do it. I simply tell them that I don't even do it to my own vehicle.
