I want to say something profound but all that comes out is stunned silence. What perverse rage and hatred possesses someone to do this?! Even worse if they were bored and trying to show off for equally sick friends.

We all live in fear of this. We park our cars way out in the boonies and we become targets because we're exposed. We try to hide / blend in in parking lots and people take the opportunity to slam their doors into us.

We have something nice but we can't trust others to respect it. How sad.

That sucks - but that's what insurance is for. Best thing (though REALLY hard to do) is to not let it make you angry, or change your habits one bit. That's what these sickos really want is for you to feel the same hate that they have to live with every day. Get it fixed and forget it ever happened.

Karma is a bi**h. People who do stuff like this often pay for it in ways they don't expect.

I would file a police report (maybe they can get some fingerprints), or at the very least install a security camera. That is sick, I hate those ****er's.

Very sad. Very disturbing.

Pulp Fiction quote... "You never f**k with another man's vehicle."

It's outrageous people would do this to Boxsters...

Wow. That friggin' SUCKS. reminds me of my friend's dad's Jaguar. He came out to a mall parking lot once in LA to find that someone had carved those same words into the driver-side door.

This makes very interesting social commentary though. Consider the Porsche marque--it is considered a high-end sports car brand that is generally unattainable by the general populace.

As the Boxster continues to move down-market and become more affordable to more people, it's going to start turning up parked on the curb or in driveways and car ports in condo complexes. The Boxster will have moved into less affluent surroundings, but the badge on the hood will still carry the same social weight.

It's like wearing a blousy Versace shirt to TGI Fridays. No one cares that you got it at Marshalls--they'll still "hate on the rich guy".

I hope no one's insulted by that--I'm not saying that people who buy a used Porsche are somehow inferior, just making a comment about how, as long as the car's in good condition, the marque doesn't lose its sheen no matter how much you paid.
