It’s not some vinyl record or a rare book. It’s going to get fucked up eventually. Imagine being in a car and hearing a person seethe and complain for 45 minutes because some kid drew a funny face on your dusty ass door

    I remember how I threw a bottle cap behind me outside a bar and allegedly scratched a friend's new car.

    Got stared at by all my stupid middle/upper class college friends as I exclaimed, "who cares?!"

    I got berated into muttering a halfhearted apology. Still pisses me off to this day.

    i like the fact that my cars usually get keyed at some point and i don't even notice or care

    bc they're shitboxes and it doesn't impact function

      I tell myself the same thing but it's probably just that I can't afford a new car, and couldn't justify the expense to myself even if I could.

      My MR2 is beat to shit but I still love how it looks.

        yeah if it was nice you'd want to preserve it. I had to get my hood repainted and now that it's nice I learned how to hand wash and wax it and stuff. MR2s are gorgeous cars

    Remember my mom parking in the very back of lots because she was afraid someone was going to hit her Honda Civic with a shopping cart.

    Out of context. Getting called out by my BIL for looking like I'm "sleepwalking my way through life" doomer:

    Me: This cursed sun shines upon this vast expanse of paved highways skirted with dirt sidewalks that lead to nowhere towns with broken dreams, bruised faces and aching voices. Every hushed voice drowned out and coerced into retreating into corridors as lemming cages rush by, powered by billion y.o. black algae juice, at incredible speeds. This is perfect for this undead algae mass, now reanimated by petrochemistry, since it had itself dreamt for aeons to stretch over and devour this world; he rests assured that his work is not in vain, since he has a tincan home to shelter his family in the meantime, and he's got the gall to tell me I'm "sleepwalking my way through life" for not finding a way to shelter mine adequately.

    shrug-outta-hecks You know what? Maybe he's got a point.

    If you grind dust into the paint you'll scratch the wax and/or clear coat, which means I am going to have to wash and wax the car again and/or buff it if I want it to look nice again. So please don't. Literally wastes an hour+ of my time for no benefit to anybody. It's like splashing wine on someone's white shirt for a YouTube prank. Sorry your friend is annoying but there's nothing wrong with not wanting your belongings to get fucked up.

        Sure but I'm doing my best to slow that down and I really resent people making more work for me. It's like somebody yanking on the neck of your sweater. Sure it was gonna stretch over time, but why would you shorten that process? Honestly, if nobody fucks with them there's only a few ways cars will get damaged sitting outside and most of them are pretty easily mitigated.

        • bird poop or tree sap eats the paint. solution: rinse it off, don't park under trees
        • rodents eat the wires. solution: neighborhood cats
        • rust eats the metal. solution: remove existing rust, apply Cosmoline or Fluid Film, unclog drain holes as necessary
        • hail dents it. solution: you're fucked, need a roof for this one

    What's up with the reference to vinyl records? Do people buy those never intending to play them?
