Default Is this something I have to learn to live with????

I come home tonight from a local carnival. I took to Jeep, i got back at around 12. Well I come by to look at my vette, and it has fingerprints ALL OVER it. :mad:
URGH, don't people know how hard I work to get that hting to look nice?

The prints are all over the door, and all over the window. Looks like they were curious and tried to look inside it.

Car cover isn't coming for another month or so :(

Unfortunately :( , as long as you have a car that people admire, you will have idiots that touch it ...I guess they don't realize how much time and effort goes into having a vehicle that looks that good!! I had one guy leaning over my vert yesterday, looking inside it...I don't suppose he thought about his belt buckle :mad . There is no cure for stupidity!!

It comes with the territory. People are curious and when they see something that interests them they go for it. They ususally don't care how much time, cost, or effort goes into keeping a thing of beauty that way.

I can't imagine being brave enough to park my car outside, I'd have to sleep in it. Apartment complex parking, now that takes big ba**s. Wow.

I strategize. Like I'll park our jeep, or camry right on the side curb (first spot) then I will park my car next to it as close as possible. That way noone will get close.

Except lately some Ahole has been going over my line on the left side, completely destroying the purpose of me parking close to our vehicle. :mad:

I had some thing like that happened to me last night when I went to the grocery store. I come out ofthe grocery stoer and notice a guy and his girl friend looking real close at my car and the guy was getting back in his vehicle as if he was going to move it into another parking space. The first thing came to my mind was he hit my car and was going to try to get away I immedaitly ran over and asked what was going on and he said man that is one good looking Vette and I just wated to take a picture of it with my camera. :cool:
