Two Days, Already Vandalized
So, I walk out this morning to grab something out of the new (to me) X that I've had for all of two days, and some dickless piece of ***** keyed the entire right side of the truck!
(I'd post pics, but I'm not quite to 25 posts yet.)
If you're out there…I understand the tree-hugging message you're trying to send, but a) I actually need a truck this big, and b) IT RUNS ON BIODIESEL!!
Anyone else have tales of X-vandalism to share?

You know, what really gets my wife angry is that I call her the "recycling ****." Anything that goes in the trash has to be analyzed for its recycle-able value. We're more conscious than 99% of the people on this planet about how much energy we use and how much waste we create.
Really, if these f*#k-tards knew anything, they'd have keyed the gas-guzzling F-250 that was parked in the street, which they didn't!

St. Patty's day I'm parked at a place called Rookie's (beer is terrible there btw); made sure I was parked right between the lines so anybody can get in an out easily without a problem. I come out of the bar to find that someone dragged a key along the right side of my truck!
I was obviously pissed, but it could have been worse....
The X is kinda out of the spotlight with H2s and H3s running around. Someone brought one to my local Circuit City to have some work done and I was shocked when they said they get no more than 10 maybe 12mpg or 320 miles out of a tank. Not exagerrating either....
A V10 SD or X will get you atleast that with some room to grow...

Sorry to hear about your experience, TD. What's amazing to me is that this happened in MY DRIVEWAY!! And we live in a pretty decent part of town.
Any suggestions on black touch-up paint for a 2002 X Limited?

Not sure where to point you, but atleast yours isn't a clearcoat-metallic; should make things easier. Although a good waxing will cover that right up, when it comes off it's another story.

That's messed up.
My favorite line from Pulp Fiction when talking about his car geting keyed...
"Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that ***hole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it. "

Just get the "Hybrid" emblem from an escape or something and toss it on the back. May save you some hassle, and they're pretty cheap as well. Treehuggers will vandelize a diesel excursion, but won't bother a ford explorer? My explorer got 10mpg, my expedition got 10mpg, my excursion gets 18-20mpg. Gas vs diesel for you. My explorer was also a 5litre v8, and my expedition was a 5.4litre v8, but my excursion is a 6litre PSD.

I must live in a different region than you guys. diesel vehicles in thi area are above and beyond popular. MY 2nd EX came from a local dealer who specializes in late model diesels. noy many prius lovers around here. with the drastic drop in large suv prices most of my niehbors are now going with tahoes , suburbans etc. dealers are looking for diesel EX,s for trade in. glad tree hgging hasnt arrived here.

I don't think the person who keyed my X had any idea that it runs on diesel. They just see a big SUV and think, "hey, there's a soccer mom who drives a vehicle the size of an aircraft carrier!"
Too bad they didn't see the load of gear and crew I had in it this morning, which is exactly why I need it.
