Vandalized

I have owned the boxster for 61 days and on the day I put on the plates some guy kicked the passenger side mirror off. It broke the aluminum frame and ripped out the wiring harness. I found a used mirror complete on Ebay to fit my 2001 but the mirror was for a 2002. You wouldn't think there was much of a difference but there is. The 2001 uses 10 wires to operate the gimbal mirror an defroster while the 2002 uses only 5, and the gimbal is rotated 45 degrees. I had to use the door frame of one and the mirror frame of the original, make a tool to disassemble the hinges and then rewire the plugin. Not too bad and now I have more spare parts. But why do people dislike Porsches? In the short time I've had the car I have been vandalized yelled at, cut off tailgated and called "hay ****************************". Never happens in my other cars or motorcycle.
