Petty terrorism: Pcar badge a goner.

I should count my self lucky, I think? Petty terrorists pried the Pcar badge off the front hood, leaving me with a pair of flush bolt heads that onced held aloft the almighty badge of speed and precision. No chips, hits, or errors...

May a deranged camel soil their prayer rug! May a faithless Bedouin make improper overtures to their eldest daughter!

So, anyone got a spare badge they can sell me?

That kind of stuff really pisses me off. Fortunately they didn't damage your hood. You needed an excuse to get a new shiny badge, right?
I've thought about removing the metal clips that hold the badge on, and using silicone glue instead. That way if some punk-ass-kid decides he just HAS to have the Porsche badge, it lifts right off without the need for hood damaging force. This follows in the same line as leaving your doors unlocked and windows down... Someone once told me that, "Locks are for honest people".
My Carrera came with the "model delete" option for the rear trunk. I've considered putting a "Carrera" badge on the rear, but decided it was just too much temptation for some people.

I have 2 hoods, one with badge holes, and the other without. Now that I have my NEW shiny badge on there, I'm getting the feeling it wont last long.
Vertex sells the crappy gold ones with the weird looking horse for under 30--w/rubber, and clips..........
You were lucky..Hell, I scratched my hood PUTTING the badge on.........haha

Sorry to hear about the badge. I hope this isn't the start of a trend like Beastie Boys fans steeling VW badges in the 80's. My GTI went through several before I eventually gave up replacing them. Any of the hip guys know if the kids are making necklases from p-badges?

The kids today are using 930 turbo axle shafts complete with greasy CV joints as necklace charms. Watch out!

Put a really thick rubber gasket under the badge, glue the badge to the gasket, glue the gasket to the hood. Run a shielded welding cable from the battery to a HD switch mounted in the car. Run another welding cable from the switch to the badge.
Park the car at the local theater, turn on the switch, grab some popcorn and let the games begin.

If it was mine and I caught the jerk I think a more appropriate punishment would be the insertion of a .50 cal bore brush into his anal orifice hooked up to a reversible drill using sulfuric acid as a lubricant. But, then, that's just the way I think.

May an improper Catholic spill his eucharist wine and belch up a rice cracker on their floormats!

(I'm sorry, I had to throw that in. As a former Catholic I have the history, and I thought a Muslim might see this thread and get pissed off.)

I snagged a for-real Porsche hood crest - all nice and shiny and even contoured for my hood - from Ebay. $20. Woohoo!

i like the way you think. :-)

seriously, though, you were lucky it was just the emblem. messing with other people's property pisses me off about as much as rape. i CAN'T BELIEVE how freaking bold and disrespectful people can be... when i lived out IN THE COUNTRY, my wife and i awoke one morning to find that all 4 wheels and tires were stolen off of her acura, and the stupid bastards set the car down on its rotors. i couldn't even get a jack underneath to lift the car to put wheels on to get it on the towtruck.

that same year, we were eating dinner at around 5pm (still daylight out, people out and about in our subdivision)... i had the garage door open (my dining room was adjacent to the garage), and when i went out into the garage later, i realized that some a@#hole had stolen my toolbox out of the garage in broad daylight while we were obviously home. i just WISH SO BAD that i would have heard something and caught the bastard. but then again, maybe i would have ended up going to jail, instead...

I feel your pain. Three weeks ago some prick keyed my engine lid real good. What really chaps my hide is that this would probably not have happened to a car that "blended in" to the surrounding area. It may sound arrogant, but I believe people who do this are envious of our modes of transportation.

You're not sounding arrogant. *********s that do this to others people's property are too stupid and ignorant to ever be able to own a nice automobile.

When I was a kid growing up and I saw something that I envied, I figured out a way to bust my ass to earn enough money to pay for it. For me anyway, it makes you appreciate what you have even more.

May a sacred cow leave a holy relic in his dune-buggy.

May an old holy man, with a rash, play with his face.

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits.

and my personal favorite:

May a syphlitic desert dog in heat make love to his shin.

Couldn't resist offering a few fond wishes for the prick that stole your badge.

Hadn't thought about the possibility of demeaning Islam, as these are straight from the J. Carson school of comedy (that is correct, sir!). So apologies to those of this persuasion.

Anyone ever see Johnny's "Death of Roget" skit wherein Roget (of the Thesauraus fame) was put to rest with a eulogy straight from his own book? "Yes, he has passed away; he's making the big call from the horizontal phonebooth; he's taking a ride in the six-paneled limo.; he's doing the worm wave from the stiff stadium..."

Great stuff. You guys are great too...I can imagine what I could do to the thief if I had only my trusty Pcar toolkit at hand ("Go for the lower legs, hit 'em in the ankle and knees!")

Broken stem and everything. . .

I'm sorry to say all acts of vandelism and theft are not done by non porsche owners. my wheel center caps were stolden by another porsche owner for his car , i saw the car without center caps in the parking lot when i parked. When i came back after shoping my caps were gone, a witness said they saw the other porsche owner over by my car ,but didn't think anything of it. I kept my eyes open for that car for months after . no telling what i may have done had i caught them, 1 thunk with a tire iron for stealing and one thunk for being a porsche owner stealing from another--Jerry 911sc

If THAT badge was on your car, they did you a favor by stealing it!

I thought I would purchase a new crest from our benefactors here at PP. Any thoughts?

Jw

Umm, sounds like a good idea?
