You see a beautiful car parked away from all the other vehicles..

Its not a matter of being "full of one's self" more than it is when you drive a car that retails for $60-$80k, and its brand new and all shiny, you know that is the type of car a lot of people wish they could drive. When a lot of people wish they could have something they can't, they get jealous. Its basic human nature.

I'm honestly curious on this one. Why would you go to the trouble of harassing someone who is parked normally, just far out to avoid accidents?

Yes, they absolutely do it out of jealousy. When I worked for Benz it was pretty much a guarantee it was going to get keyed within the first 6 months you had it. We (employees) had a special coverage option to cover jealous assholes keying our cars. And its not like we were out on the town acting like rich pretentious assholes either, most of us made under $35k a year.

You guys are actually advocating damaging somebody's vehicle because they parked next to your depreciating asset?

Not their vehicle, their face, their family, their ability to eat through their mouth....those kind of things.

Exactly. It isn't jealousy, it's more like fucking w/people for being such aloof fucktards that they actually think their car is "the shit". Often times it's just a 15 year old Acura Legend or something like that.

And like I said before, I know for a fact some people park back there to get noticed......Not to protect it.

If they intentionally park closer than is necessary, just because they parked at the end of the lot? Yes, that is a dick move.*

Who guys? I never advocated any damage.





*I know (now) that MILK was referring to double parkers, I originally read it as anyone who would dare park far away.

Never been on facebook have you



Personally it doesn't bother me. I don't care what other people think of themselves OR me. But I anticipate them being an asshole regardless. So I try to stay under the radar or the dickheads.

I don't have any "nice" cars, but what I DO have I just park the best I can and try to avoid the crooked cars and parking next to the obvious "I either don't have insurance" cars or the "this car's old enough that I don't give a fuck" vehicles.

BUt you dont know those people, you dont know what that car means to them, you dont know what they did to get it.

How do you know they didnt scrimp and save for 20 years to get that car? Or that it was a gift or special treasure from someone? Why would they be assholes for wanting to do what they can to keep their treasure safe?

My mustang wasnt fancy, it wasnt all decked out, but it was MY baby, and one of my dream cars and I loved it. And the fact that jerks would intentionally go out of their way to damage a car that didnt belong to them, nor did they know who I was or what the car was to me is infuriating. Anyone has the right to park out in the back 40 to protect whats important to them, NO ONE has the right to damage it. It's not any different than seeing Trips beemer out in the parking lot and pushing it over just because I dont like it or wish I had one.

I disagree. Not personally knowing him, but making a judgement call based on his internet postings, I think it is acceptable.
