I would file a police report (maybe they can get some fingerprints), or at the very least install a security camera. That is sick, I hate those ****er's.

Pulp Fiction quote... "You never f**k with another man's vehicle."

It's outrageous people would do this to Boxsters...

Wow. That friggin' SUCKS. reminds me of my friend's dad's Jaguar. He came out to a mall parking lot once in LA to find that someone had carved those same words into the driver-side door.

This makes very interesting social commentary though. Consider the Porsche marque--it is considered a high-end sports car brand that is generally unattainable by the general populace.

As the Boxster continues to move down-market and become more affordable to more people, it's going to start turning up parked on the curb or in driveways and car ports in condo complexes. The Boxster will have moved into less affluent surroundings, but the badge on the hood will still carry the same social weight.

It's like wearing a blousy Versace shirt to TGI Fridays. No one cares that you got it at Marshalls--they'll still "hate on the rich guy".

I hope no one's insulted by that--I'm not saying that people who buy a used Porsche are somehow inferior, just making a comment about how, as long as the car's in good condition, the marque doesn't lose its sheen no matter how much you paid.

^ I agree. Most people can't distinguish between the years, for all they know it could be brand new. They are just jealous of the badge. Whenever anyone complements my car and I mention it's almost 10 years old they are amazed. The age factor doesn't register with them, even though there new Civic probably cost more.

I wouldn't wear a blousy Versace shirt even if it was on sale at Marshall's.
