Jeez, that really, really, sucks. Only good thing about it is that it can be repaired.

Are there any alarm systems that trigger when the car is contacted? Or maybe you could get one like the guy in South Africa had, which had an integrated flamethrower.

Damn That sucks man. Why cant some people stay home when they're angry at the world like the person that keyed your Boxster.

On the upside, you get to go home with that good-looker thats in the reflection of the car beside you.

that really sucks especially on such a great color!

A good shop will be able to blend it for you so you'll hardly notice but I feel your pain.

On a side not, I see you have a matching AR convertible top. Any pictures showing the full thing? It looks pretty slick from the one photo but would love to see a full shot.

Good luck and push the D/T to compensate. Yeah, even though they have lots of waivers/releases saying you park there under your own responsibility, if you're a preferred member, I'm sure they'll make some type of gesture to compensate you a little.

that SUCKS. just be glad you did NOT catch them in the act, as you might have lost your temper, pulled out your weapon and the whole thing might have degraded to someone getting hurt.

about 6 years ago, my brother in law, who is AFRICAN AMERICAN, and *just* bought a brand new Vette - he had had it less than a month, parked it in a parking slot to visit his g/f (Now his wife). When he came back out the car had been keyed with swastikas all over it. My bro in law is pretty strong and he's a marine - the guy who did it is lucky he never was caught...

the people who do this are just sad pathetic losers who are angry they themselves can't afford a nice car and have to make themselves feel better by ruining someone elses property.

there should be a law that gives the owner of the victim car a free license to beat down with baseball bats the offending vandal!!!

I'm sorry you got keyed, that really sucks. Too bad you didn't catch them.
I worry everyday when I park outside, because I don't trust the teenage punks that are always walking around.
If anyone every keys me, I will find them, and they will regret it!

My rule is if my car is the best looking or most expensive car in the lot I either will not park there or I cover it so t is not obvious. Undernith a cover it looks like a Hundai. I have had a friend with a new Farrari keyed and know that there are people out there who will do it if it is easy. So be warry where you park and keep a cover in the trunk.
