I once went into shop to get bagel and coffee at 6am. only one truck in whole parking lot with someone sitting in it. Came out 5 minutes later with scratch to the metal from front to rear. Amazing how much hatred is out there. I also had someone scratch the word "fag" on my driver's side door. Jealousy??
I try to remember that this is one of the reasons for being well-insured.
Funny... I've had 4 Mercedes and a Z3. Never had these issues with them. Porsche brings much more attention... good and bad.

That is a bad story Mr Griffin, especially since my pal wants me to spend the winter in Atl wheeling around in my escape with NY tags. I'll be lucky if I get it back north with the doors on it.

My experience in Atlanta has been much different. In the northern suburbs, but still inside the perimeter ("ITP" in Atlanta speak), I park my car often with the top down at grocery store or LA Fitness, etc., and no issues at all. Around here it rarely even gets a second look or any attention at all, which is fine with me.

However, I do usually try to park close to a building in those diagonal type parking spaces or in an end space next to a curb to provide as much room as possible to the adjacent car. Perhaps parking far away from everyone is a red flag that attracts a certain element anywhere.

I used to live on Jimmy Carter Blvd I know about the hot dogs they don't sell up north and their attitudes about yankees.
