    would be keyed

    He joked that the Lexus 430 driven by his replacement, former Boeing executive Alan Mulally, would be keyed.
    Can you explain the meaning of the word "keyed" here?
    Please, can You correct, if I have made mistakes.

    The slang/street meaning of "keyed" is... to take a car key (or knife) and scratch the paint along one side, or around the whole car, destroying the paint and appearance. It is a common, very bad thing to do, to an enemy or someone you're angry with.

    In this case it is saying that the car will be vandalized by dragging a key accross the Lexus's paint, scratching it.

    "Why don't?" (not correct) Why not? (correct)

    Verb: to key...
    "keyed" = past tense

    When you key the Lexus', please send photos, O.K.?

    Yes. DDT or KV will give you a lapdance if you abstain from car-keying.

    МГУ must be expanding their degree programs.
