No matter what happens there will ALWAYS be people out there that do stupid things like this. Nothing we can do about it. Its pretty sad really.

I live in LA and go out to Hollywood all the time and have NEVER in the 6.5 years in owning my Boxster have taken it out to a club with me. Regardless of what everyone says its an attention grabber, Boxster or not. I've seen cars JUMPED on while parked, drinks spilled on, Hit and Run, you name it I've seen it happen and NEVER did anyone leave a note. Go figure!

You did good Peer, I however, probably wouldn't have been able to keep my cool like that. Good for you man.

Hopefully its nothing more than just a dirty car. Spend some time and give her a good detail.

The are certain places I just won't bring my Mercedes or Porsche. I live in a more upscale coastal area of Florida, but If I go more inland .... I'm in 'good ole boy' land. We've driven to Orlando up 17 just to take the back roads and have been flipped off, cussed at, called yuppies, you name it...but then again, when I'm driving away from the coastal areas I get flipped off in our Honda also...go figure.....

There are mean, bad people every place. When I just got out of the Marine Corp 20+ years ago I would have flipped my lid and jumped all over the guy, but now I realize it just not worth it. Unless someone is threatening my family, let them be the small minded jerks. People are jealous of Porsche owners.....they all assume if you drive a nice car your rich, and that pisses some people off. I work hard for everything I own so I appreciate that I have my dream cars....people are jealous, you can't control their actions, but what separates the civilized from the beast is how we control our actions. I applaud you for keeping your calm!

I guess I'm lucky I haven't been flipped off yet. Only had the car since March though. Watch, tomorrow I'll probably get flipped off.
