What Have Haters Done To Your Car?

Nothing besides the normal door dings and a cart or two scrapes on my 2IS.
But on my last car (which I bought brand new), I had just installed new 17" Roja wheels and some D bag decides to egg just one of the rear wheels! Better the wheel than the car I guess, but it still did some paint damage. Grrrrrr!

My 2006 350 has been hit, keyed, and someone cracked my rear spoiler. I try to park far, but people still manage to hit my car and drop heavy things on the body leaving nice little dents.

Hmm I'm not sure we're on topic about haters anymore. People leaving dents and scratches and nicks are people who do not know how to treat cars with respect, evidently, swinging open their doors like nothings there.
I didn't get my Lexus until a month after I graduated from highschool, but I did drive my brothers e93 335i twice a week to school. I would park far away and walk a block or so to school. I still have people hating because it was such a nice car. I do not understand this because if i saw someone with a nice ride, I would admire it and give him/her a thumbs up. But not these highschool guys. They threw a rock at my brothers driver side door which really nicked the door, nicked the chrome door trim, and even a small nick in the window. I felt bad so I paid for the repairs which came out to be 450$ and never drove the car to school again.

Since I moved to Hochelaga in Montreal, I got screws 4 times on my tires(in 8 months).
2 times were on my Civic then sold it and bought an IS. 1 month later, on the highway my tire just blew up... when I got home, I looked at it and there was a brand new screw in my tire... Needed to buy 2 rear tires.
I bought a security camera and put signs on windows saying there is a camera, since this got no problem, ****ing jackass

The only thing I can really confirm is that people at work think I'm overpaid when they see my car and the school bus yellow rims. Only other incident was in downtown LA where it got spat on and a soda thrown at it but that dude was straight crazy (jaywalking homeless dude).

I have yet to have this car in my H.S. parking lot. Two other girls have IS 250's, so I think I'll be okay. I keep mine in the garage at night for obvious reasons. I never park in BFE either. Maybe I'm lucky in this respect? Knock on wood.

I do not have an ISX50 yet but from all of these stories. They sound like a living nightmare, I love my imaginary SFP IS350 haha, I would hate for it to get all scraped up. I hope Arizonians are nicer than in other places. Definitely thinking about getting a viper alarm or at least a video camera in the car when I do get the car. I swear I'm not crazy, I just really love ISX50's. :P
