Lets put it this way - if the guys sees that on your car, he'll be more tempted to wack open the door and put a dent rather than a minor scratch....

Yeah, unfortunately things like that often also attract the retards that key vehicles and do other vandalism. Their goal seems to be to hurt people and make them feel bad and angry. So when they see something like that, which indicates the person places a lot of importance on their vehicle, it tends to draw them like flies to honey.

you know..you're absolutely right!!

I had a Landcruiser once with all the trimmings.. parked it at a shopping mall parking lot for about two hours... when i returned i noticed someone had keyed the entire rear tailgate section from left to right!! WTF??

of course i was furious!! but what are you going to do??

same thing happened to a female friend of mine not too long ago with her new car.... and you know how we sometimes get with new cars...(always wiping it down and whatnot...)

someone must have seen her doing this because after she was finished cleaning it....she returned to find a nice key mark running along the length of the vehicle!!

these people are nothing more than plain old idiot LOSERS!!!! :dunno:

GET A FRICKIN LIFE!!!

Right, right! It's a reverse psychology. It makes sense.

autoque,

Dude, I cannot believe that you seriously considered that door defender :loco:

I thought you were kidding. This is way more believable...

My wife and kids are used to me parking away from everyone in busy lots, but then and again we'll come out of a store and find some ah@le parked right next to me when there are a million other spots in the lot...I just don't get it, sort of like:

- people high beaming you to move over when you're toting the kiddies in the right lane;
- waiving someone in front of you and then they thank you by driving 5mph;
- people who clog the passing lane when the right lane is empty;
- people who drive 50mph in the passing lane and then pretend you're not behind them...

...well you get the point.
