Vandalism?
I'm noticing a lot of people messing with my car while parked. In two weeks there have been more problems than during 15 years of car ownership. Anyone else having problems?

So far extinguishing cigarettes on it then tossing the butts in the wiper area, stickers on the windows, pouring things on it. Nothing like a boot in the door yet but I'm sure it's coming. Or a brick in the window. Unusual for this area and specifically only this car. Started immediately too, first night I parked it here. Guess the car stands out. |

Note to self, stay out of NYC.
I wonder if similar events will take place when I park on the streets of Seattle. |

Where's that South African flamethrower car defense system when you need it?

It looks more expensive than it is. Once people figure that out it won't be so bad (or good depending where you are). I came out today to see a Mustang GT parked beside mine and it looked almost shabby (and I like Mustangs).

Man that sucks ballz...
I suggest getting one of those dash cams. They aren't TOO expensive, considering the love you have for the car... it'll be worth it. There's a car in my neighbourhood that has a blue light constantly blinking at his dash. It looks like a camera..and I constantly feel like I'm being watched when I pass by that car. It got me thinking...and I'm gonna get something like that for my car (when I get it) . Because the least it will do is make people think twice before doing stupid shit... |

Yeah, the car does look a lot more expensive than it is. I've parked more expensive brand new cars here and never a problem until now. If they become more common I hope the problem disappears. |

There have been a few times where I've been standing at the 4th and University bus station, and spotted Tesla Roaster or a Audi R8 parked across the street. Quite a few people take pictures, and a few people put their hands on the windows to look at the interior, but nothing nasty. |
