Happy friday the 13th me.

Poor Oxley. No dings or scratches at all after almost 6 years. And this morning I go out to find this.

No respect for anything.

That sucks... at least its isolated to the two doors... so paint, or replacement can be done without too much work or color blending.

Bummer. Maybe you two can do something special for valentines day together? Nice ride through the mountains, perhaps?

BTW, I like the painted grille, nice touch.

Don't get too down, there is another friday the 13th next month.

Mike

Thanks Mike. It's actually part of the factory aero package that was available on the 09s. How'd you see the grill? Do I still have pics posted? Lol.

Someone did that to my Clubbie as well, except they decided doing in a few circular motions would be 'nicer'!

Eye for an eye.

Find them and run a sharp key across their 'barn doors".

Last week someone backed into our 10 Clubby at my wife's secured employee lot. I can tell it was a truck with a hitch as it cut the top of the rear bumper cover in a perfect square the size of the receiver. No note, nothing but too "bad sucker"! Comforting to know it is someone she works with...

That one should be easy to track down unless she parks around a gazillion trucks, all with hitches at the same height.....

"secured employee lot" - often times means video cameras? Hope so.

Employee parking lot at the airport. Huge lot, poor lighting and full of trucks. It only damaged the top cover.

RadioFlyer,
My sympathies too, knowing how you love your car and how awful it can feel when senseless harm is done, especially to those things in life that are good and worthy-like a Nightfire Red Clubman. [Yikes- my auto-correct just changed Nightfire to Nightmare!]
I hope you can restore Oxley to youthful beauty without going broke. People can be so pointlessly cruel.

Well Oxley gets repainted in a week or two, but the tale is over. I ordered an X1 tonight.

Will miss the fun I had in the beginning but I've been let down lately. Will post pics once Maxwell arrives.
