Yeah you're damn right about Texas. Things are a little different here. People have a bit more respect, but it can still happen. As far as the ex's.. Those are some dangerous demons. I was luck enough to get my G after the most horrifically dramatic break up last year. So she hates me, but doesn't know I have a nice car now haha.

someone spray painted my wheels red but good thing i had them powdercoated the next week

cant have anything nice - my g's nothing to be hating on - its just an 03 stock coupe. but d bags will be d bags. got a nice lil S mark on the hood and carved crap into my headlight and had my rear bumper dinged by someone (nice lil chip with spidering in the paint and messed up the tag holder and ripped one of the bumper mounting screws out and creased up another ) - i had an explorer before i got my G. had it 6 years never had anything but some buggy rash but it was easily buffed out. its ridiculous the things some people do - i feel for ya bro.
