Ya know what really Pisses me off.....among other things....
I feel your pain George! It takes alot of hard work to pay for a vehicle and for someone to disrespect that by carelessly damaging it is enough to make my blood boil. :wack:
I have a chevy HHR that is my daily driver, after it got beat to hell in a hailstorm ,.i decide what the hell why park it out in the middle of nowhere. My 07 mustang gt i never take anywhere i cant keep an eye on it. I am teaching my kids, and they get it. The baby is only 8 months old so not yet for him but my girls ages 5, 7, and 14, when we get in and out of my car of my wifes suburban, i always tell them do not hit the car next to us with the doors. I dont need to even tell them anymore, they now police themselves,
When i started doing this, they asked why, so i showed them the damage on another car in the parking lot. I explained its not right to fling your door open and dent somebody elses car. I also asked them if they had a nice car if they would be upset if somebody got careless and dented it up with a car door. They all agreed that they would be.
Of course west texas has some hellacoius high winds, so sometimes i or my wife will get out and hold the doors against the wind so the kids can get in or out. Lots of door damage out here happens this way because people dont hang onto their doors when its windy out here.
Had some jackasses a long time ago mess with me when i had my 68 charger. I parked out in the middle of nowhere in the mall parking lot. They purposely parked on both sides of me so close that i could barely get my door open. The rest of the lot was pretty much empty, so this was on purpose.
I had to roll my drivers side window down, close the door, and climb in dukes of hazzard style. There was really no need for that. I was also not in the mood that day. I always kept tools in my trunk back then. I used a pair of big honkin vise grips and in my pissed off mood i jerked out 8 valve stems and tossed them onto the hoods of both cars and left.
Hindsight that was funny.
