I've read all the vandalism based threads, people these days. There are several ways to avoid it in my opinion. I do not have my Z yet, currently working and about a week away from getting it, but these are my ideas. I'm sort of worried.

1. I'm new dont bash on me now
2. Dont park next to cars where there are clearly marks on the sides or corners, clearly a higher probability of them hitting you and running scared because they think the car is more than a M3.
3. Take the time to drive around the lot, see what kind of people roam, dont isolate your car but try putting it by other nice cars so the sore thumb problem is virtually eliminated.
4. Does your your neighborhood have issues with vandalism? ( Building grafitti is a good give away to what kind of people hang in the area, stay away from lots with a lot of it )
5. Center of attention is good on the road, not good in the lot.

those are helpful tips. but sometimes you just cant avoid those jealous, low-life losers that want to mess up something they cant have

 

I drive around to see what kind of people are there if they look like vandalsim type people then I just leave. When I do park I park far away in a corner or something where my car is less noticeable.

The problem with parking next to other cars (not way out in the lot) is you could get dinged dented scratched etc.

These "lowlifes" are all going to burn at some point . They have it coming to them, karma works both ways in my opinion. Also; the 350z community is huge, and when it comes down to it you know that there will always be someone that went through the same thing. Collectivley the community can all help each other, if we live around each other there is always a solution, both legally and illegaly...
