The new ride looks great!
Be glad the old ride (the psycho case) was a baseball fan and went for the car rather than you - PS hide the scissors in case she returns ... sue anyway!

i will have pictures of it next week
I want to see pictures of her!
How the hell can you stay so calm?
Being so calm and laughing it off (at least in public) is the total opposite of what she wanted to accomplish.
She clearly went after what she thought would do the most emotional damage to you. Your flipping out is exactly the result that she was looking for (and maybe hunting her down & tuning her up). Laughing it off, moving on & replacing the damaged goods is exactly the right thing to do....which you've clearly already done.
You'll be able to let the steam off in other ways (looks like you have many options).
She needs to hear that you didn't take it so badly....in fact it allowed you to replace the damaged goods, & upgrade to a much better model....just like you did with her.
BTW, you're apparently not alone. This guy's revenge may have felt good at the time, but taking it out on her car was probably more painful to him than to her:

Unbelievable. I guess there is a reason she is your ex. And I assume she's not the one in your avatar.

I'd press felony charges too. And also sue for damages.

Not because I'm mean and vindictive, but because I believe in the principle of justice and in the rule of law.

And also because it may serve as a deterrent that might save some future unfortunate guy.

Nope thats not her for sure. hahaha As long as she hooks me up for the money I've invested we're good. I'll let it go at that, I'd hate to send anyone to jail. Seein that I've been there a couple of times and once was unfounded. But some roadside justice would really hit the spot ifyou know what I mean

McVic, You know I have to chime in here. <shaking head in utter disbelief> I don't know man. I guess it would all boil down to what I did to heras for as the justice I would seek.I guess move forward with your new ride. You did bring us in on a nice resto and for that we as a group appreciate it and the work you have done. You are now a charter member of a small group to have completed such a task. Bully for you man.

Great luck with the new addition.

god dont' get me started on women. YOu better sue her *** off!!!!!! nobody destroys a Porsche on my time. I know I'd sue her for every little minute I put into that car for restoration.

Ex-wives/Girlfriends/Cookies/WHATEVER SUCK! Then again it's their loss, nevertheless should they try and make it yours too.

I know where you sit, my ex wanted me to get my 81, and then after me working on it for less than 1 month she up and left, but she knew not to touch the car, as I would have been livid

Bro,

If a sacraficial 928 was all it took to rid yourself of this whako, consider yourself lucky! It could have been worse had the relationship lasted longer. Looks as if you have upgraded to another shark, another broad is just around the corner too.....

Stay Big!
