Sucks. Sorry.

I tell no one I own Porsches. I don't drive 'em to work.

Both times at your office parking lot? Shame on you if 'yes'. Live & learn. Doesn't excuse the idiots, though.

Might also want to be a little more discreet about you opinion of American cars when you work for the big 3.

Pretty tough times in your neck of the woods. Lots of people hurting & angry. Still not right to damage your car.

Maybe you should install a small low power camera or something.

..Do you have pics of the cayman with the sign?

there's no security camera's in the lot?

through 3yrs of daily driving my car, it never got vandalized.

does insurance cover the keying? and get a low power camera for your car.

I think someone already tried a similar trick, except I seem to recall it didn't work out so well for them...

I wonder if the good union boys in Michigan consult this website to see what percentage of the car is made in America and key accordingly.

http://abcnews.go.com/WN/MadeInAmerica/page?id=13795239

Interestingly enough there are a few foreign cars which have a greater percentage made in America than some "American" cars. Would you key a Volkswagen Routan (82% USA) or a Corvette (75% USA)?

My son and I pulled in at a Starbucks to get a coffee when some dumbshyte started in on " Porsche this, rich that ........ "

Of course this is Texas - he was not quite aware of how big of men can fit in a little Porsche 951.

Of course this is Texas - he was not really thinking straight on how big a GUN we can carry here.

Of course this is Texas - so after I said " Boy you going to talk yourself into a heap of trouble here one day soon enough ..." he was nicer.

To avoid some real mess, I let, no I made my son go get the coffees while I showed the Twenties kid this was an older vintage car which was here before him. And gave him a couple of bucks to buy his frappeleche whatever on me. He thought it was some new fangled German car.

He was a nice enough kid. He just needed some education. He almost got more than he wanted.

Wow, if those Texas folk knew my ferrin Toyota Tacoma was 10% more made in the US than their can't-swing-a-cat-without-hitting a F-series or Silverado, I think their heads would explode.
