If your in a Frat or one of your buddies is, get the pledges to stake out the car. They could sit in a car close by with a camera, you could leave your topdown on a nice day to intice the a$$hole. Tell them to go ahead and let him do something to the car and get it on tape,(and youll recoop the cost) and then you would have all the evidence you would need.

Also try to remember if all the events seem to be happening in a patern. Like have they been on the days of your tuesday/thursday classes or mon/wed/fri and time of day. This will help you know when you have the best chance at the punk taking the bait.

Oh yeah one last thing....Make sure to tell them to turn the Video camera off before the beat the living sh!% outta them.

i agree with having some of your peeps lay low in a car nearby. Then beat whoever it is down, if its a girl... just watch what car she is riding in, and jack her car up.

Why don't you get on the local S boards here and find some local S owners who may be able to watch over your car for a week or two? Do you have any type of alarm installed? Maybe if you put Chevy badges on your S the vandal would stop hitting your car...

I don't mean to sound like an asshole, but come on... driving an S2000 to high school? Not a smart idea at all. Drive something else to school.

i drive my car to school, and havent had 1 problem in the 1.5yrs ive had it.

i dont have any probs with anyone, and if someone does do something, their gonna tell someone else, then their gonna tell someone, etc.., so there is always a way to find out who it was as long as you know alot a people.

seriously tho, if you act like a snob, and park all by yourself, your just asking for trouble, IMHO.
