OMG, so true. Sometimes when people are in my garage or looking at the car, they like to touch the paint. Not a problem if it was just washed. You feel like a jerk telling them that the only time you can touch a car is when it's clean.

People just have different values. Hell, we all sit here on the computer and read about each others TLs. We obviously have a hobby type interest in a device used for transportation. Most people view them as strictly a tool.

My little sister's '08 got hit in the Walmart parking lot on Monday:



She's filing a police report in order to get video footage from Walmart. $850 for what? She has no idea what she did. How is that justice? It's one thing to get flipped off when you make a mistake in traffic. You know what you did, and you know who is accusing you. But this is like someone in a mask just walks up and kicks you in the balls, then runs off. You're in pain, and don't know what the hell you did. Cowards.

I wonder how many other luxury cars get hit like this. Or, if it's just younger successful people. She was only in the store for 5 minutes. She saw a guy staring at her for an extended time while she was shutting off the car and gathering her stuff to go in. Once she noticed he was staring, she ignored him. Gone when she came out.

You guys need to realize there are a bunch of jealous envy hiding snakes out there. I get more stares when I'm in my 06 then I did in my 99. I dont even have the windows tinted yet so they see who's driving too and is seems as if they get sick to their stomach.. lmao

^^^Damn, that's like a stab in the heart...attempted murder. I had another incident today with a co-worker. He noticed a small scratch on the right passenger rear A-spec location before getting in. I was like, it's a shoe scuff when someone was getting out and will wash/wax out.

We all go to lunch and on the way out, I see him roll out of the car like the pillsbury dough boy and didn't say nothing. I park back at my office location and walk out and take a look, there's a scratch on that rear fender right above the location he pointed out. It's light but into the clear coat and will take a rotary to get it out. I've known this guy for years and he's quite clean and keeps his car in top shape but many of us at work have been getting a strange vibe from him lately. I just let it be telling myself these things will happen and are inevitable.

I had to meditate for a couple hours to get it over and out of my subconscious mind...this is gonna drive me to drinking.

I drop by school the past couple of days and too come back to my car scratches up from the right side rear (near tail light). The tail light is scratched up slightly along with the body. I dunno if it was keyed, but someone fucked with it. The scratch is deep enough that it can't be fixed.
