Couple days ago my car was parked at the public parking behind my office. When I finished work for the day it was rainy so I got into the car and start the wipers and wow the right blade was U bended  . I guess some "civic" guy has bended it for no reason!  This is just one of the examples how our cars attract "some" people. Has your ti been abused somehow before? __________________

Yeah my cars been keyed a ton, my last one was on my passenger side fender after my front end got resprayed. Im still waiting to draw with aircraft aluminum striper on the car of the kid who was the first to key it. Ive found that people have the stereotype that BMW drivers are assholes but Ive found the real assholes are the ones who cant stand that we drive em. __________________

I can't vote yet because I have a bad feeling it will be abused eventually.. I leave my car in the overnight lot @ school which is no where close to campus police and closer to the good ol' projects of Roxbury. Not to mention the kids at my school are utterly dumb. I cross my fingers everyday when I visit my car nothing has happened to it  Sorry to hear about that tol4o & SDK. __________________

My car was keyed the entire length of the driver's door one night while we were throwing a party. Mind you, we never charge but this night the party got broken up early by the police. I'm unsure if it was the neighbors, someone at the party, or random passersby.
Another incident was last year over Halloween. I was parked on the street, and someone ran over my car . . . literally. There was a shoe print on the hood, a dent underneath and two more on the roof. I only wish I had the Thule racks on so maybe they would have tripped and broken their jaw.
Naturally, I was livid, and contemplated using the Husqvarna I had in the trunk to find them and cut their legs off. Unfortunately, I discovered it the morning after and had too much of a hangover to deal with the sound of a gas-powered chainsaw, let alone girlish screaming. __________________
