Personally I feel the work is very high quality. Up close you can't even tell it's been resprayed.

When you have something nice people just want to take you down. People are very jealous in this world and think it not right you have what they want or would like to have. I know it suck but this part of the reason insurance premium are were they are today.

Thanks, I plan on taking some nice high res mountain pics in the near future. This setting is ghetto, but a true representation of how I park (far away from everyone else)

Very true, this is sad. I'd say the majority of people think that way too.

I think we are too liberal about petty crime in this country. Vandalism is basically a non-event - the authorities implicitly condone it.

If you take a country like Singapore, which has public caning of people guilty of vandalism, you have very little of this. When I visited Singapore a few years ago, I was struck by the fact that there was no graffiti, no litter, no vandalism, etc. Everything there is pristine. You key a car in Singapore and get caught, you get caned and get a short prison sentence. In the USA I doubt the authorities would do anything.

Respect of property has to be enforced through strong laws and meaningful punishment. Prison and physical punishment should be mandatory.

I'm honestly surprised I've yet to have a run-in with vandalism on my car. Sucks that there are people out there that are so jealous and insecure over what others have decided to spend their money on that they feel the need to damage it when no one is looking to make themselves feel better. Sure, everyone feels jealousy every once in a while, I know I do when I see cars that are way out of my price range, like exotics, million dollar homes, etc. Never once, have I ever felt aggression towards someone else's property.

However, I did come out to a giant wad of chewing tobacco spit on the hood of my Evo once. Didn't really bother me, just sad that people feel the need to behave in that way.
