Cheap thrills.

A relatively cheap 1 or 2MP camera (like my Olympus D-380) is great for
that kind of stuff.

I think I'm going to start taking pictures of silly stuff I see, or
maybe just crummy driving. There's a lot of the latter here in Seattle,
but most of it is simple LLBing. Example:

I would never intentionally bang someone elses door.
However, accidents do happen (as my doors show). However,
taking up two desirable spaces in a busy lot is not
justifiable. If you take up two spaces out in the booneies,
I could care less. If you take up two good spaces, you are
likely to get abused. If you value your car highly, then I
am sure you don't mind walking a few extra feet so that you
can park it away from the many people who only think of cars
as useful appliances.

NOT accidents;negligence.
If your door can possibly contact another's vehicle,it's your duty to NOT
allow that to happen.

Never said it was.I said "way far out",where there's room to do it and not
affect anyone.

You are in the minority in seeing things that way. I too act the same
way.

I've accidentally had my door touch the door of a neighboring car.
However, because of the precautions I take, there has never been and
damage.
