I have a '79 Camaro I've put alot of time and money in to restore.....I'm very proud of this car. I was at a shop yesterday(only one other car in the lot)and a guy pulls up right next to me....I just knew he was too close but I'm hoping he has enough common sense to watch his door--he gets out and sure enough BAM!
Luckily he just knicked the paint......I suppose it's not worth turning into his insurance since I can get a bottle of touch-up painted mixed.
There was a time when people steered clear of cars like this(they were to admire NOT touch)......What happened to those days(and common sense)??????

People are amazing. I remember sitting outside of a fastfood place in my car, reading a book & eating my lunch. A woman pulled in next to me in a van and, when she got out, *slammed* her door into the side of my car (the whole car rocked back & forth from the force!). I got out and went around to look--fortunately I was driving a '65 Sport Fury at the time & it had stood up to the abuse quite well, so I just looked at her and said "next time, please be more careful." She went into the fast food place & I went back to my lunch. I was still there about 20 minutes later when she came storming out of the place, charged up to my car and snarled: "I'm sorry--but you didn't have to be *nasty* about it, you know" before hopping into her van and screeching away. Simply amazing...

I guess she didn't know Nasty could have meant a flat couple of tires, or a sledgehammer in her windshield....sensitive little dear...all ME, ME, ME!!
