***ATTENTION*** Mitsubishi (lancer) is under attacked (Chicago user)

This morning when I drove my car to work as usual, I saw 3 huge scrape on my car.
It's over 10 inch long, both side of my car, deep one.

At first, I thought I just had bad luck.... but around lunch time, my friend's friend (not close) texted me about his scrape which is exactly the same as me.
After that, I drove my car to some local printed store. The worker told me this morning he had a customer who owns a EVO X had the same scrape as me.
So.... it's not fun anymore. Obviously it's made by a group of ppl who don't like Mitsubishi or lancer.

I had already reported to Mitsubishi store and police. I also install a webcam for my car.

My car: 09 Ralliart
My friend's friends car: 08 GTS
local paint store: 08 EVO X
(I don't live close to the guy and paint store, but it all in Chicago)

If anyone who knows anything of it, or find out something on other Forums, PLEASE contact me. Hope the other Lancer users the best of luck. Be a Pro!


To those people who did it,
Whatever reason u did that. It's not funny at all. If u guys do it again, ur face will be on the newspaper and YouTube in a second.
If u don't like lancer or wanna race, just say it directly. Act like a man, Race like a man also.

Many people are dumb, and therefore do dumb things. Sorry to hear about your misfortunes.

I can't understand what they want

Iam guessing its much deeper then a buff out. So you will probably need to get the area repainted.

In an effort to encourage people to buy American made automobiles President Obama called up a few connections back home and asked them to "send a message".

On a serious note, that sucks hard core! I remember back in the day when Honda's became the target of peoples ire, I have seen many pictures of totally trashed Honda's. I hope you they get this jerk!

Most likely they can't afford any of the cars you mentioned above so thats why they are hating.

On a lighter note I already have 1 door ding, 1 rear quarter ding, and a big scrape on the rear bumper cover from people, I assume, not caring if they bash their cars doors into mine...

Sorry to hear that. I feel in a similar way because someone hit my bumper in my college's parking lot. No note, nothing. It was a hit and run which I'm gonna have to pay for out of my pocket. Not intentional but the damage is done anyway. I know how you feel.

Buy yourself a baseball batt, and have a couple of friends wait for them all together; leave the car somewhere as a bait whenever you don't have work and wait for them.... Whenever, whoever, comes around to scratch the car will get the beating of their lives.... lol

but again, this is all me talking crap so don't follow my advice at ALL!!

***********
Sucks for you and your friend man but hopefully the local police can take care of the thugs. Of course I'd take care of the matters personally........ That's something that would def- **** me off.

Good luck

i've seen so many evos for sale online after people have vandalized them so bad they are considered totalled... like jumping on the roof / hood, smashing all windows, ripping off bumper, etc... sucks some people just hate mitsus i guess.

plus besides all that... the evo 8s and 9s get stolen like crazy, just check out some of the threads in the southeast region. Miami area is insane. not sure if our RAs are much of a target for theft though.
