I never got any weirdness with the 95 MR2, but someone spat on the hood of my 1989 MR2 once and I was really saddened by that incident. I did not see it happen or...things may have ensued. :-) The thing was 7 years old at the time but of course, looked brand new. Anyway, with the new beloved Boxster Anniversary ed, the first few days I had it, someone in a parking lot sideswiped it backing out of their parking space. Again, I did not see it happen. Unfortunately, It just happened to be the very day I mailed off the insurance premium....so I never reported the incident. But I learned...park very very straight in the space. I had angled it a bit, as I learned to do early on, to avoid the dreaded door dings. This has been fixed and the car looks new again. My plate is Carmah. While I do drive 115 MPH whenever I get the opportunity, I am a very polite fast driver....never ever tail gate, and nearly always let people in who blink me. In short, I try to "drive friendly" and just enjoy the car and life. I have actually really noticed people going out of their way to not harm the car. One thing for sure...I get parked in front at places now and next to high high end exotics etc and e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e seems to take note of this car! I did not buy it for status exactly. I love mid engined rides and really "feel" like my MR2 and Boxster are in the same league but clearly in the minds of the masses I am at an entirely different level now. I smile and say hello to people when I exit the vehicle and when i do this, i notice folks comment positively on the car. I think it is all in the attitude. Gosh, and that grin I cannot remove from my face probably reminds everyone of their happy puppy...whats not to love about that?
