I did some renovations in my garage one winter and my NBM got pretty dusty. two of my friends thought it was hilarious to write some twilight (the movie, never seen it, don't know what they were talking about) references in the dust all over my car.

I had a case of the comeaparts. they had to leave. they're not car people, but come on, what the hell. who does that ****? luckily the car has about an inch of zaino on it and it was fine.

/\ allot of people actually.


Not very many people worry about what writing messeges and drawings in dust/whatever, on a car will do.

Hell, i dont. If you go to any high school guess what youll see? pranks eeeevvveerrryywhere. including the plastic wrapping prank.

If they don't know how to treat my car I probably don't know their last name, let alone be on a relationship status.

Before I had gotten my Firebird, I had a black Saturn Sky Redline and had a crazy ex-girlfriend that would stalk me.
I had trained said ex-girlfriend to NEVER touch the damn door when she closed it.
She knew I was seeing someone else because of the finger prints on the door.

On a different note, oh man do I love having a white Firebird. So long as no one touches it, it always looks clean!

It probably also helps that my paint is complete ****, but I'll be repainting it within the next month to a metallic pearl white.

I had one of the neighborhood kids lean up against my V the other day and was about to lift his foot and put it up against the door.

I went off on this turd.

I proceeded to tell him that the reason we are the only family in the neighborhood that had nice things is was because we dod not lean against our cars.

He was confused.

I hate it when people smoke around my car. I was at a car show a few years back and this older redneck guy was talking to his buddy around my car smoking. I just went up beside them and farted really loud. Didn't take long for them to leave.

I hate when people don't respect a clean car. If it is not your dont touch it

In high school there was a group of us that parked beside me that would hang out after school in the parking lot. This douchebag that has alwas got on my nerves used to sit on the front bumper cover of my v6 firebird. He would always get there before me. After countless times, I finally walked out one day and yelled at him and said get the **** off my car dude. After that he never did it again lol.

My car seems to attract cats with dirty paws. It always happens the day after I wash it too..

I feel your pain. People's general lack of concern for anything that isn't their own (and sometimes not even then) is a shame.

Same boat here. I put a tarp on my car while in the garage because we have cats. There are proper door opening procedures, proper ways you set your feet and keep them on the floormatts, keep your hands in your lap type procedures when riding in the vehicle..etc...

Lived in Washington my entire life, you get used to it. Very annoying though. I remember I waxed my friends 500whp RSX and he said drive it to school and show off. I spent 5 hours waxing this car the might before by hand I might add, and 10 mins after I pull it out of the garage and almost at school. Starts dumping. -____-.

Fingerprints on the black paint are bad enough. But hell, I came out of a take out place a few years ago and 7, yes SEVEN uh, foreigners were sitting on the front of my el camino. They might not have understood the words, bit i think they got the tone in my voice. Then a few months ago, Parked in my carport under a cover, a cat took a crap under the cover on the hood. It smeared down the hood & onto my 2010 camaro nose fascia.I own a cat cage now,cat lovers don't ask.
To end this thread on a happier note, when I repainted my new el camino tailgate with 4 vette lites& buffed to perfection, My wife said it was so pretty I should keep it in the living room for a while. Even women & their living room can be won over by a perfect , clean, unfingerprinted,unscratched black paint job.
