and please don't take this the wrong way...but things like this will happen with the "Wal-mart mentality" with dealing with any parking lot. Its only a matter of time when the law of averages catches up to you when using parking lots meant to park Mini-Coopers, not Corvettes. And yes...even parking remotely still brings out the a$$holes who for some reason need to vent their jealousy. I always park in lighted areas as well. Just my 2 cents on that.
Secondly, knowing this is off subject, I'd never let non dealership types anywhere near my 06 or the 82. Most haven't a clue about the car they are dealing with, and most likely will treat it as such. Why on earth would I subject myself to that environment and take such chances??
Thirdly, again off subject a bit...when I do have the oil changed, in either the 82 or 06, both go to the Chevy dealership. I park seperately from other cars even there...and both the sales and service personnel more than understand that about Corvettes. After either car is serviced, they drive the car back to the same isolated spot for me to leave from.
If your dealership is worth their salt, they would understand you and your desires about protecting your car. They should all know that the Corvette customer/owner is a little bit more special and that we are driving the 'money' car! thumbsup:
Good luck! Hope the cost is extremely minimal to you! In fact...take another picture when fixed and lets see how good a job was done!!
Too bad about you missing the BBQ...sure would have loved meeting you! Maybe the next UCP come November!!
