This is just all from experience with owning a large variety of cars, if you really care about something, cars, personal property etc. don't trust that anyone will take care of it as well as you would.
Thanks for clarifying, and I do apologize if I came off as being hostile towards you; it was more towards the state of mind or idea I have the hostility towards.

I can agree with this, and somewhat had hoped this is where you were coming from in your earlier post. I think you and I see things very similarly given your other responses. I think a lot of what most people miss is that you have just as much disgust for it as the rest of us and wish that it weren't so, but do accept the fact that it isn't going to change any time soon. Which is quite a shame that such is the reality of it all.

While there is a cost to quality relationship and I think all around that is a very understood thing, however, it's a shame that simple respect doesn't fall into the equation; which is my primary problem with the system. Any time I do work on anything for anyone, ranging from PCs to cars to whatever I think I can handle, the people I'm doing the work for trust that I won't abuse their items and will treat them as I would my own. That's how I operate, even if I'm doing charity work.

I also understand that there's cost for the dealership with their staff and generally the lower they can pay an employee the better, however the staff has no reason at all to feel entitled to doing this crap to customer cars (while this certainly isn't the worst it could have been, it's still disrespect). There are plenty of people without jobs right now, if it was more than a slap on the wrist for this kind of crap I imagine we'd see less of it.

I just don't understand what it is or how it is that people in any position feel that they're entitled to fun one someone else's dime. If they want the privilege, they can work and earn it like the rest of us; plain and simple. Though you then have the opposite side of the spectrum where people simply have so much wealth they don't care about the system (i.e videos of people in supercars just racking up tickets without care....that's some bs as well lol).

I could go on about this type of stuff forever, so I'll end the rant here. Again Dezoris, thank you for your clarification and tactful response, I imagine had a typical internet user gotten my response I'd have been cooked well done by the time I had logged back in.
