Most folks don't want to show their license plate numbers in pictures. Just a security reminder.

Thanks guys!

I don't park crooked to avoid giving anyone an "excuse" to key me. I do the end-of-row parking, but that's not foolproof, someone still hit me backing out of another row. You also have idiots that cut the corner.

"Security reminder"? What kind of security comes from blacking out a license plate which is seen every day by anyone within driving distance of your home and/or office? Never have understood that.

But, as for parking. Yup, as far from the maddening crowd as possible. I call the walk the "Porsche Volks Marche."

Where is that nano technology self healing paint I read about years ago?

My Black Wrangler self heals, as the scratches simply fill with dirt and blend in with the rest of the unwashed dirt.

My Jeep got keyed at the market and you can't even noticed it now that its dirty again.

I remember thinking that if I had driven the Box instead I would probably be hunting down the offender and painting their vehicle with furniture paint stripper.

It eats the paint clear down to the metal if you ever need to strip and paint a car part etc. Handy Tip!

Interestingly, when I first got my Wrangler 10 years ago, then other folks started showing up with them as well.

Now I'm the only Porsche in the parkinglot so it will be interesting to see how long before there are more Porsches.

The guy with the SLK said he wanted one but changed his mind after he reading somewhere that the transmissions only last 5 years.

I have not heard of that unless your brutal with the clutch.

I park my Wrangler alone if possible too. Haven't had any vandalism yet to the Box or the Jeep so I count myself lucky. I don't understand what somebody gets out of trashing someone else's things. Maybe that explains the surge in concealed carry permits.
