I was just thinking about this today. About a month ago me and a buddy went out to the bar in the t/a vert. Love to pull up to the bar driving it. Anyways I had parked in the spot closest to the door to the bar and when we come out there is a bunch of people standing outside and my buddy stops to talk to them why I unlock the car and put the top down and my buddy comes over and jumps on the door and swings around to get in the car. This pisses me off. He was just showing off and it isnt even his car. Why cant they just open the door. Anyone else ever have this problem????

Man, you are asking for scratches and worse by parking in front of the door at a bar. Drunks falling all over the car or some loud obnoxious 'know it all' leaning all over it. No thanks! It only takes one idiot to ruin your ride. As far as your friend, you give him 'one' since he's your pal, but if he does it again after you have clearly told him not to do it again, he is NOT a friend.

I remember one day years ago when my girlfriend at the time tossed my keys onto the roof of my supercoupe, that started a pretty good fight lol. Funny thing, she never understood that she did anything wrong, I was the bad guy ha! When I think back, or see(or worse hear) her, I'm so glad that ended lol.

its funny cause when i think back to my first z28, an 86 IROC, as **** as i am about my car now i was definatly worse with that car. I was the only one EVER who could lean on the car and i would flip if anybody even slammed the passenger door for fear of broken glass. Im spoiled now with a vert, cause i can toss my keys on the roof and ****, but thats just me and thats only if im standing right next to the car.
