Imagine living in a world where nicking cars is just a part of life. :laugh:

I’m sorry that is f***ing ridiculous!

It goes pretty much hand in hand with living in a congested city. If you think your cars going to be pristine when it's parked next to bike racks, garbage bags, cans, heavy garbage, is blocked in by snow when plow trucks go by, where the sweet sweepers kick up pebbles and gravel onto cars across the street, where kids and grown-ups throw balls around, etc you're in for a rude awakening.

The worst was when a friend walked back to his car and saw his back bumper almost off and damage right along the tire. There was a sign on the front window that said "Sorry, I hit your car"....no name, etc...just the sign. He was livid

I know there's a disconnect because I've known people that walk back to their F-150's and spot clean or freak out when they see a mark in their flat-bed. You bought a pick-up truck, not a Porsche.

Shit happens, but I've parallel parked enough times in my life and I've never hit another car. If you're hitting other cars routinely you're doing it wrong. There's just no way around it. I'm not talking about a bike or a rock hitting a car, I'm talking about your car bumping into another car.

It's not something I did regularly but sometimes it's impossible to get out of a spot without hitting a bumper. Have you ever been boxed in by an a-hole that had several feet in back of him but parked up against your car when there's only a foot in front of your car open?

Yeah, you do a 79 point turn or you just key their car into oblivion.

Thankfully I've never had that done onone of my cars but I've seen cars keyed and man...the few times I've seen people walk up to their cars and see the damage....the rage is something to behold. One time a friend called me up and told me he saw a woman keying a car, going to town on it. Turns out she was a wife that found out her husband was banging the babysitter or something like that. Was a beautiful car too.

It would take a lot for me to key a car, I don't think I'd do it if I found out my wife was banging the babysitter though.

I can understand them being upset about a scratch, but it does bug me when an oncoming pickup truck or big SUV crosses into my lane to avoid a little pothole. Yeah, I want to get into a head on collision because you don't think your rugged AWD off-road vehicle can take on a 2" depression in the road surface.... :shakehead

I actually just ordered a Mach E last month. I have so much equity in my car right now, and I’m sick of paying $100+ a month for gas.

Joe Piscopos’ car no doubt.
 
This is what we need more of on this board. Cars and I am going to include some food talk. It's chilly here, after signing off later this afternoon for the holiday break, I am going to heat the seats and drive my Hyundai to a Korean restaurant tonight and fill up on Gamjatang. Sounds like a plan.
 
For the record I’m far more likely to judge people on the vehicle they drive rather than their race, religion, sex, or chosen hockey team.


Some of y’all are definitely worthy of mocking. :)
