Sometimes you just have to drive the car and not worry about other things. There is always the chance that some other vehicle will kick something on the car and there is no way you can keep everything off. Hope it didn't totally ruin your drive.

They had smeared the sandwich all over the passenger side door and window, and dripped mayo/tomato juice on the hood.:

I wasn't even mad about it, and actually kept a sense of humor, especially when I saw the deep key scratches they put on the Toyota Corolla next to my baby.

I just went and brought to the attention of the park manager that if this type of stuff is going on in the parking lot in the middle of the day with all the cars and potential witnesses, they might consider stepping up their security forces, especially before there is a real serious incident, like rape, abduction, murder, etc.


OOOOOOOOOOOO the fight would have been ON mean people suck the big one!

How about this. When I bought my 03, I pulled out of the dealers drive way, went about 1/4 mile and a pickup truck with a handy caped walker fell out of the truck right in front of me. I swung the car real hard and missed it just by the skin on my chinny chin chin.

Never fails...only when in the Vette. Ever detail the car, take it out for a spin and get behind the numbnut that just has to clean his windshield and of course it flies over his roof all over the front of your car? Or behind the guy who's radiator hose lets go and your car gets slammed with antifreeze?
