To be honest, this is awesome! Now I know what to look out for when I park.

It's the dents and crushed body panels/bumpers that really get my blood boiling. I'm spending about $800 on repairs and the car isn't even 6 months old. All I can say is thank goodness for insurance because the final bill will be 4 times that.

Hell, I've had someone mess up my car at a freaking cemetery on Easter when they cut up my front bumper with their swinging trunk door. After I stopped them, someone in their party wanted to start a fight with me.

Doesn't matter if it's right at the entrance or the furthest spot in the lot because any disrespectful asshole can take notice or even merely be in the vicinity and fuck your shit up.

@FRiSson
I don't know if having a beater would help. Even if I had the shittiest shit box to ever shit a box, I would still care because it's still my hard earned money that I used to buy it and disrespectful fucks are messing with my stuff. The only thing a beater is good for is giving a little payback.

I see your point AZN, but the ideal beater is so beat up (e.g. front bumper held on with gorilla tape) that you can't tell if it has been further abused.

Having a "Zero Fucks Given" car mitigates many of those situations for me, and I could probably double the size of that list with logic on when, if, and, or, then bring ZFG Car.

I used to park in the far reaches of a parking lot only to come out and there would be another car parked right next to me.

For real. I'm trying to change my thinking. My fiancé is proud of me when I can just park without too much fuss.

Now I can point my fiancé to this thread and say "see... I'm not the only one!"
