And once the door closes and the motor starts...
If it starts

I remember in May, I just parked at the local grocery store and there was a 997 outside parked 3 spots closer to the grocery store entrance. The owner was loading groceries and I said to him "hey, nice 997. Very clean." he then told me to my face "are you the a**hole who dented my car with a shopping cart?" and I said "no, I just got here." and he said "its a 911, not 997. Go back to preschool to learn how to count." I walked away, shrugging and feeling bad for the 997. Lol.

With that attitude... he deserved it (kinda).

I feel the same I hate with they look at you after they do it they shrug and say oh well or oops. Then I say my fair share of words.

But my worse is when the night after I painted my 944 I got a nice chip of paint missing from someone outside of publix and then that same night I went to a local car meet and I had tons of little scotches from kids leaning over the car or walk/ standing next to it with their keys mangling the sh*t out of my car. THE NIGHT AFTER I PAINTED IT!!!!!

I also don't like it when some ricers were like that's not even a true Porsche . Then my mouth turns into a toilet haha.

But what can really be done without being a total but hole and getting 20 bucks put of it.

I really don't want to turn this into a "one up" thread, but I had my car painted years ago, brought it home into my garage to let it fully cure (it was plenty dry, but was told to let it sit a few days before touching it etc) A cat got into the garage (I don't have cats) and walked on the roof and scratched it with his claws.!!!!! Didn't even get a chance to drive it. It wasn't even fully assembled!!!!!!

Story of my life. Half of my mornings I see damn cat paw prints alll over my car! And since I can't park in the garage nor do I want to. ( little brother and
Sister running in and out knocking everything over) I have to just deal with it or buy an expensive car cover and put it on and take it off every day. Ha
