Two More Reasons Why I Ride the Train to Work

No, this didn't happen to me - I found it on another forum.

Basically he was parked at a Dairy Queen when two SUVs came and parked
on either side of him, and BOTH opened their doors and smacked into
the sides of his car. They pretended not to notice and, when they came
out of the DQ, they drove off without offering to pay for the damage.

This is the kind of **** that makes me glad I don't have to drive my
car to work. If it's not careless co-workers, it's Jose the Gardener
banging into your car with his rake, or Manuel the Roofer spraying
little flecks of roofing tar all over your paint.

what is the story

I prefer using my car to keeping it pristine.

Yeah, I'm so with you here. Because this kind of thing could
never happen on the weekend.

I prefer using my car, but *not* having someone f*ck it up,
to using it and having tar sprayed on it, or dents smashed into the doors.

I've put 7000 miles on my car in the last 6 months. I simply prefer to
drive it when driving is PLEASURABLE as opposed to STRESSFUL.

Manuel the Roofer and Jose the Gardener don't work weekends.

When you're touring, you're with your car most of the time and moving,
not parked in one place for 8 hours at a time.

Bottom line, the chances of having your car damaged by careless boors
is greatly reduced if it's not a daily driver.

You don't really have that choice. If you're going to bring it out in
public, **** will happen to it. If you're not, why do you have it?

Lots of gardeners work weekends. Though I've actually never had my
car damaged by a roofer or a gardener; I suspect you're just being a
racist asshole here.

Right, because lots of people park at a Dairy Queen for 8 hours at a time.
Oh, wait... maybe that's your problem, maybe you WORK at the Dairy
Queen. You know, you're supposed to park your car in the back of the
lot and leave the best spots for the customers.
