So this happened today....
Hello all
About 5 weeks ago I traded in my 2005 GT for a blue 2007 Shelby GT500 with 12k on the clock.
I love it. Love it more than any car I've ever owned. I wanted one for years, literally YEARS. And I can now say I'm driving my dream car.
But today (a beautiful spring day in the pacific northwest) this happened:
Had the car parked at my work (I work at a hardware store in a fairly nice town) and was chatting with a friend outside when he noticed the gouges on the cobra.
It's only the driver's side emblem and they didn't do too much damage to the paint, but still. What. The. Hell.
Damn people. I'm gonna check security cameras tomorrow and see if they caught the ******* that did this, but I doubt it.
So, that's what happened to me today.....

Hope you find out who did that. That's bush league to do that. Were they trying to pry it off or what? some ppl just don't understand or respect other ppls property. Someone deliberately open their door into my older pony and still pisses me off that some ppl just don't care.

That sucks!
I'd get a new replacement badge and touch up paint...remove the existing one, carefully fix the marks on the car with the touch up paint and install the new badge. Fortunately, the marks are small enough that once you do this you'll never notice.

Hope you catch the POS! Some people today just do not know what it means to respect others and their property. I guess it doesn't help that the laws now protect the dirt bags of the world, instead of the good hard working people.
