However, when someone damages my property or has the audacity to confront me personally and call me names (hasn't happened to me, but there are plenty of stories in this short thread already), than I have to wonder what's wrong with people.

Are you suggesting that you're okay to deface other people's property because they have something you don't like?

 

My wife and I went to the movies last night. I dont usually take the S because I wont be able to see it for 2 hours or more, but just installed a T1R Sparrow and was loving the sound. So anyway, I usually park out away from everyone else , find an end parking and take up 2 spots. Well, someone didnt like that last night so they threw landscaping bark and pine needles all over the hood which chipped the paint in one place.

 

Our car is polarizing in some respects. For the first few years of the car's existence, they were rare to see, and really only enthusiasts ever gave the car notice. These days, it's just a "haves" and "have nots" thing.

As for the 350Z crowd, well, it's a testosterone thing.

 

Degenerates...

Having fallen to an inferior or undesirable state, especially in mental or moral qualities.

Thats what these kind of people are IMO

 

people do hate other cars my roomate has a 350z pearl white and he had someone recently key every body panel and light on hte whole car most back and forth down to the paint and later that week someone backed into it putting several holes through the hood and destroying the headlights all for no reason excpet we have the nicest cars in our town and are kinda young so people get jealous... but hes getting the new 07 headlights and LED tails and several other parts and paint all under insurance so somepeople hate z's to lol

 

One word: "Jealousy"

I got my car keyed last week while it was parked at my gf's house.

 

That sucks, and it was extreme, but you did take up two spots. It just seems arrogant when an owner of a nice car thinks can take up 2 spots because he's "better". If you had just parked far away, in a single end spot, I doubt anything would have happened to your car.

 

This is generally a bad idea. I personally use to park far away (not so much anymore) but never park in anyway to draw attention to yourself. Especially if your movie theatre is anything like the ones around here, they so jam packed that people have to park in near by lots, so taking up 2 spots is just asking for someone you pissed off to do something.


As far as why people are hating? It's obvious, they are mad that your civic looks so much nicer than theirs

 

People are just dumb, I had my 240sx egged but not my S2000.

 

Taking up two spots in any car is a good way to get yourself "noticed" by the type of jerks who deface cars. I usualy make my opinion that the guy who does that is an asshat without ever having seen him. Parking far enough away should be sufficient, no?

As much as I love my car, pour tons of money on mods into it and spend rediculous ammounts of time detailing it, I still park with everyone else. I would much rather get a tiny door ding from some little kid not being ncareful getting out of the car than some asshat drawing his name on my trunk with a key.
