Short story,

Im headed to bed last night look out my window and my neighbors are unloading their groceries, and have their stuff on the back trunk of the vette, seriously wtf.

 

I wasn't aware the trunk panel couldn't hold the weight of groceries....

thanks for the tip!

 

the real question here is was it on your car, or theirs? if it was theirs, it's just a car, heck I set things on our now 8k mile 50th, & heck I even set things on my firebird that has 20+k paint job. it's not going to hurt it.

 

Your Vette or theirs?

If it's your Vette, then I can understand you being upset.

 

Yes my vette, i mean its far from perfect def could get a paint job eventually but i wouldnt car if it was my winter car why would you think its ok lol im sure he wouldnt like me placing stuff on his wifes new suv

 

did you say anything to them?

 

It is a matter of respect, I would have went outside and asked not to put anything on my car.....people sometimes are idiots

 

I would of called them out right then and there! No respect or common courtesy!

Thanks,Matt

 

If you have a truck or a buddy with a truck, I suggest going to Lowes and getting a bunch of bricks or manure, and setting some on their car as you unload it.

 

Yes i did ask nicely to please not place anything on the car, i didnt wana run out screaming and yelling, now how much of what i said , did they underdtand. I dnt know lol

 

I'm feeling my blood pressure going up and it's not even my car. I'm surprised you are still here to tell the story. I would probably be in jail.

 

well then you need to go to Lowes, buy a few cinder blocks, & unload them on the hood of their suv.

 

Hearing this kind of "neighbor" story makes me appreciate my neighbors all the more. There really is no need for what they did.

 

Typical for today's society.

 

I have always been into sports cars and I have enjoyed taking care of all my cars and keeping them in great condition, however when I purchased my Corvette I took it to a new level.

What I've come to realize over the years is that 90%, or more, of the general population don't have a passion for automobiles and to them, they are simply machines used for transportation.

I had a black Acura TLS daily driver that I used to park in an assigned slot at my previous employers parking garage. Whenever I washed or detailed the car, I could not understand why I had so many scratches and marks on the top of trunk on the passenger side. One morning after arriving at the office, I realized that I had forgotten my iPhone in my car so I went back down to the parking garage to retrieve it. When I approached my car, the woman who parks next to me every day was in the process of gathering her roller-bag laptop case, etc. and had placed her 20 lb. purse with dangling chains, studs, jewelry, etc. on the top of my trunk in the exact spot where I had noticed the scratch marks. What really burned me, is that she didn't place it on the trunk of the BMW 3-Series she was driving!

I didn't know her and had only occassionally seen her in the building so I politely asked her not to place her purse on my car and showed her the scratch marks. She replied, "It's no big deal, it's just a car!". I replied "Exactly!" and grabbed her purse and dropped it with a loud thud on top of her trunk while giving her my best death stare.

I also think there is a lease vs. own mentality as well.

That's why I'm really careful when I drive and park my Corvette. I know its a 10 year old car, but it's one the best damn looking 10 year old cars out there so I'm becoming more possessive of it now than I was when the car was new and easily replaceable. I understand that most people just don't give a **** so I recognize that unfortunate fact and work around it.

 

Beat ya to it! Hahahaha

 

Unfortunately "stupid" is rampant in our country.

 

Perhaps you should remove the luggage rack

 

Damn man, I see your anger. I don't even do that to any of my cars vette or not.

 

On the rare occasion that my C5 is parked outside overnight, I always put a cover on it in hopes of stopping people from messing with it.
