My 22 yr old daughter met me and my wife at a school function. We were standing in the parking lot behind my CE Z06. Up walks my daughter and places a binder on the trunk of my car. I ask her "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!" She says looking for her keys or something like that as she searches her purse with her nose stuck in it. I said NO! What the hell is this and pointed at her binder. She gives me a confused look and begins to tell me something, I told her "GET THAT OFF OF MY CAR!! She says it's just a car! I told her to never ever put anything on, against, or next to my car ever again! So after I threw my fit my wife and daughter wouldn't talk to me the rest of the day. That was fine though, niether one has ever put anything on, near or against my car since that time.

Possibly killing an old person just seems a little extreme.

Too bad you could not have hit the panic button on your remote as soon as your neighbor set the stuff on your car. You could have then gone out to see what happened and explain to him that the alarm on your car is very sensitive.

So that my wife and I are not going crazy every time we see people doing stupid things. We gave these folks acronyms: IP's = Inconsiderate People. For bonehead driving moves: BFI's = Big F'ing Idiots. It's our little joke. It makes us laugh instead of getting all worked up about it.
What ever happened to the days of people doing courteous things or, courteous driving...... Well, I guess, every so often I'll come across someone that knows what courteous means.
It's all about having some "Class" as they say. Some people have it some people don't.

Everyone in my family knows to stay away from the vette! Even my friends are careful! My wife has made that very clear to everyone that if something happens to the vette due to stupidity, I wont be happy!

Yep, I now know why my mom and dad were always after me to not ride my bike in the carport, between the cars. That's probably the only time I got after my grandchildren. My work pickup OK. The vette, don't even think about it.

I SAW a guy who parked his Corvette at the store and came out to find a woman with her large pocketbook ( tote ) sitting on the back of his Corvette. the guy walked up slowly and grabbed her bag and threw it 50 feet across THE PARKING LOT, got in his car a drove away. I SMILED.
Then I drove out there, put my right rear tire on top of the book bag and lit it up. Ever seen a roostertail made of paper?

Not my neighbor but maybe my brother
So I pull up in front of this guy's house to look at some parts. As I am getting out of the car this cat jumps on the hood on my new paint, to have little walk. I picked up the cat and gave it a spirited toss. As the cat landed I look up and sure enough it is apparent that the guy with the parts owned the cat. As I start to apologize he tells me that is was NO PROBLEM and that he has wanted to do that for a long time. Problem is he is in the garage and and cannot see his wife coming out the front door and the steam coming out of his partners ears. Fortunately for me he caught all the heat that had been coming my way!
