Color a factor??

I have this theory, with absolutely no evidence to back it up, that cars of a certain color may be more vulnerable to this kind of attack than others. (Those colors that, shall we say, may be perceived as being more ostentatious, the Guards Reds, Speed Yellows, etc.) I wonder if it happens to be true or not. So, here’s my question: Of those (currently 20% or so) Porsche owners that have had their cars vandalized, what color was the car??

Where I live no one would ever vandalize it. Never, never, never. It is just unthinkable.

I have a guards red and got vandalized. The first week after I bought it somebody keyed it on one side, prety bad not just a single scratch but several on the same spot. Another time they threw a glass of beer on the ragtop.

Actually I am joking. People outside developed countries tend to be more respectful of other people's property. Most Colombians want to take a picture of themselves standing in front of it and would not think about damaging it. Of course, if they did my bodyguard would beat the crap out of them, call the cops, and with a small donation the cops would beat the crap out of them again.

A couple of nights ago I parked it at an outdoor restaurant where I could watch it while eating. No less than 15 girls stopped to pose in front of it while their friends took photos with cell phones. One left her number.

im on the 2nd boxster and neither one of the two have ever been messed with but my brother had his tires slashed, the top was slashed at another time and pop was poured over it once but his box is a ocean jade green so it might get more attention then some of the other colors
