Dropped my jaw...only once.To the tune of $18K for vandalism
sitting in my driveway by a 13 and 14 year old kids.
Reason:My neighbor told them earlier when I was at work
not to walk across his lawn because he just planted
some new grass seed.
That night I guess they were still pissed,so they wrecked their
havoc on his Ranger,my other neighbor's Yukon and my 'Vette
got "special attention" just cause I believe it was so nice looking.
2:30AM kids out at this hour.Anyway,they spent too much time
with my 'Vette bodywork that my neighbor had called the police
because of the noise.
The cops were there in a hot minute and had a K-9 unit
**** the little f**kers across the golf-course.
That was 4 years ago,and once in one lifetime is too much.
My insurance USAA came through like a champ and the car
took a month to fix,the body shop also did a fantastic job
making it look new again.

It never fails I can park across an empty parking lot at night away from everyone and someone always parks next to me. Now I try to find other nice cars or better yet other Corvettes to park next too. Needless to say I daily drive my Corvette and it gets mysterious scratches and knicks almost weekly. I was driving home last week and all of a sudden my car was getting sand blasted by debris left the night before by roadwork being done. One time we came out and found a clear butt, hand, dual breast prints in the light dust on the rear bumper/spoiler of our Camaro where it looked like someone had decided to have a quicky... Lucky there was no extra excressions on the car... 
Because I drive the car everywhere I have only been there to see the car hit on 2 or 3 occasions, and each time I was glad my wife was with me or I would have tested whether or not you could fit a body in the trunk of a Z06...
EDIT: Also I hate following my wife in her car because she rolls on drag radials all the time and those freaking 315 DR's pick up rocks and throw them like an Olympic shot put champion and I always feel like I am down range on a shotgun course! BTW this is the last black car I ever buy... Expecially one that I care about...

You know,
It took almost a year for my neighbors and I to get restitution.
The time we had to take off work to make a few court appearances.
Here it was cut and dried they had signed and sworn statements
yet the judicial system takes their sweet-a** time about it.
The real kicker is through that whole time never once did
I or my neighbors get any I'm sorry for this from the parents
or the children,for incoveniencing the hell out of us.Not to
mention the trip I had to cancel because the 'Vette was in the
shop.
They had scrawled "KKK" on my door.Uhh...I'm white of Irish/German
descent.And "Nice car playa" with an anarchy A on the hatch.
Two-snot nosed little rich kids who I would guess don't know
the meaning of the word "NO"!!!
Kids like this remind me of Columbine wackos.I'm glad I moved
