    Need to rant here.

    Today it was by coworkers turn to drive. So, I leave my brand new SUV parked in what I think is a safe spot. Away from people and the grass looks short so nobody will be cutting it in the carpool lot.

    Come back to my car and it's dark. I noticed some crap on my windshield and didn't think anything of it. Get home and notice that the back is absolutely covered in grass clippings.

    I go straight to car wash (touch less) and get it washed. Check it out after and grass has stained my brand new pearl white paint....... Needless to say I'm PISSED! Do they not see a brand new car parked alone and an owner who cares about it????? Who knows what else got flung up. Rocks and such. Couldn't get a good look at it but I'm sure there are some scratches.

    Why is it people are stupid and ignorant with other peoples stuff ? People let shopping carts go loose, open doors on others cars and generally have a " don't give a crap" attitude about other peoples vehicles. Expensive or not.

    I am always prudent around others things. The other day a neighbours kid was aiming for my vehicles armed with two huge driveway chalks in hand ready to re-paint my ride. Luckily the mother caught him within 2 feet of my ride.

    I just don't get it. I almost think it's futile to keep a nice clean ride. Unless it's parked in a garage.


    Am I being overly anal here?

    Nope youre eight on the money. My wifes brand new blue santa fe already has scratches from my neighbors leaning garbage cans on it. People just dont give a damn anymore. I have come to the same conclusion that only a car that is garaged is worth all the work we put in it.....

    Re: Need to rant here.

    i know how you feel. in my driveway i noticed some tire marks in which one led to the grass and someone back in and/or out of it and left a tire track as well as some in the driveway too. some people these days have no common sense and have no respect for others property. it's kinda like the attitude of, "if it's not mine, what do i care"....

    I think the root of your problems is other people.
    I have noticed that people are ruder, angrier and have no manners

    My parents grew up in the community generation
    I grew up in the family generation
    My kids are part of the me generation. It's all about me, what's in it for me?

    It is a shocking realisation that as we advance we loose our social values.

    Thanks folks . It's just so frustrating. Last summer I ordered $200 worth of detailing products. I just placed another $200 order and spend Countless hours maintaining and detailing our vehicles.

    We all know the work and attention to detail that goes into keeping our vehicles shiny and new looking. Only to have stupid people ruin your hard work

    Re: Need to rant here.

    A neighbor on one side of my home does the bare minimum to care for her weed farm. And when her son mows he does not pick up the clippings; some of which rest on my asphalt driveway.

    Compared to you guys I guess I should count my blessings.
