    Washed it, finally. Not up to Dave.O standards, but I care not. :)

    Drove to a doctor appt. Got lots of curious looks. Had girl at drive thru window ask me if it was a race car. Win.

    I started reorganizing my garage to give my mini a new home. Made an appt to have the oil changed, brake fluid flushed, and the coolant serviced. The things I couldn't get it done before the Dragon. And I started looking at all the dry rubber. Detailing, detailing, detailing...

    My sister came to town to visit and needed to go to the mall so I drove us. Parked in the back lot with my Mini all freshly washed and shiny. While we were there, someone keyed my driver's side door. :mad:

    I don't get why some people feel the need to do things like that to other people's property.

    Any chance the mall has surveillance video you can give to the police?

    You know, that's a good question. I hadn't thought about asking for surveillance video. Due to the location of the mark though (it's pretty low), I'd bet whomever did it was completely obstructed by parked cars and it probably just looks like he was moseying to/away from the mall.

    I have to wonder what goes through these people's heads, though. "OOOH LOOK - SHINY CAR! MUST SCRATCH." So stupid. :nonod:

    I'm sorry Stefanie. I'm sure karma will catch up with them.
