Nothing wrong with driving porsche
some think it's expensive, is it really?
we have clients with 10 air planes. they like to think Porsches as disposable pieces of soaps.
nothing wrong with mowing lawn. I am pretty sure I make more $ than my gardener. but I mow my own lawn and neighbors lawn often.
BUT throwing grass clipping on other ppl's are IS WRONG.
I personally would not risk my life to "discuss" these finer issues with the person who threw clippings on OP's car, but I would have a talk with store manager. in my eyes, I am doing the manager and the store a favor. if my gardener is throwing clippings on my clients car while he cuts grass at my office... I would like to know and I would make sure the guy is fired. he was hired to cut grass not speed the grass on ppl's cars.

it has nothing to do with Porsches, but just being a decent regular human being.

still think it was a smart move ?
If it were me I'd be pissed initially, but then move on, provided of course there was no body damage caused by stones being kicked up by the lawn mower.. The lawn mower guy wasn't considerate, but some people aren't regardless of their profession. I live in the country and everyone has a few acres of grass, and most hire professionals to do the `work. Virtually 100% of the lawn mower pros will stop their mowing when a car passes to ensure that they don't inadvertently damage a car from stone projectiles

Grass on your car is one thing.

Dirt on your car is one thing.

But grass **AND** dirt? Together? At the same time? That's a bridge too far man. The mower guy should have been fired on the spot and run out of town. This kind of insolence directed at drivers of highly tuned German cars, simply shall not stand in a civilized society.

You know, it just occurred to me that maybe Lawnmower Man thought it was a rally car.
