In Texas, we generally shoot people that do most of that crap.

@ Master986, wow, some of the stories are just plain crazy. Most people around here just have more respect for peoples' property than in your area I guess. Call me a hot head, but I don't see how you let people do that to you or your car Master986. It's one thing coming back to a vandalised car, but it's entirely another watching them and not doing anything. I'd at the very least call the police....  Maybe you'll run so you can run off another day, but how does it feel to be a doormat?

Ah I almost forgot, the worst thing someone ever did to my boxster was back into my front bumper 4 - 5 times with a tow hitch on x-mas eve. Didnt leave a note or anything. They bacially rammed it 4 or 5 times.

lol...I dont think of myself as a doormat....From where I live, its called "smarts"....Anyone willing to get shot or have their car vandalized because they cant control their primitive, neanderthal temper obviously lacks intelligence and common sense.
"Choose your battles wisely" is the saying that guides my behaviour and actions. Those who think that my choice warrants the label "doormat" are, for lack of a better word, just plain "dumb".
And btw, I would probably beat your ass, so theres no need to imply that I cant by calling names. Understood?  ...no joke

Well my ex-boss told me NOT to drive my Boxster to work! Right, like I don't. Sad to say, but the jealous bi..h fired me shortly after. By the way her SUV cost at least 1.5 times my Box. Only thing I got to say that God do not like ugly. Karma is a bi..h too.

Wow dude.....that's alot of **************** to put up with, but you did the right thing by keeping your cool and ignoring. At my job, I put up with alot of bull**************** remarks like, "chick car," or mid like crisis mobile,' and other nonsense. I don't even reply as it speaks to THEIR poison, THEIR insecurity, etc.

You should maybe take that pent up aggression to a therapist and tell them you can't stand up for yourself. Sounds like you're a lot tougher behind your computer screen than in real life.
P.S. My dad would probably kick your dads ass.

OK, that was uncalled for.
You and Adam need to cut it out.

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?

Incidents
I have had my car for about 1 year, in the first 6 months i had 2 incidents. The first one, I came out of a bar and somebody had keyed my car and draw a big circle on it. The second incident was, I came out of the supermarket and my car was all wet on the top, some kids came over and told me some guys in an older car threw a cup of beer on it. Some people can be asses for no particular reason!
