He did this twice and stopped very close to my car. I couldn't beleive he had the nerve to do this,had that piece of junks brake lines blew or he slipped off the brake pedal he would had smashed the hole driver's side of my car. He also had the nerve to walk through the body shop when he was done showing off,I looked at him and asked if he had a death wish. Later that day I saw him an a another car parked right next to mine turning on the winshield washer squirters and driving away. Thats the last time I will ever drive that car to work! Some people are real idiots!

That's why it's best to keep quiet unless you're about to move your car away for good and remain unknown. You could piss off someone enough that they'd still do something to your daily driver.
I've heard too many stories where someone parked at an angle in two spaces to come back to some kind of damage. It's hard to be low-key in a nice car, but drawing any attention can be be bad with the scum we share air with.
The idea posted earlier of having some kind of padded rod suspended from the window IMO is just asking for some mean person to come do something.
Sometimes I think I am wacko over my cars, but at the same time, if I witnessed someone do damage to a stranger's ordinary car, it would infuriate me, too. It still comes down to right and wrong. If people were caught, had something beat out of them, it would fix some of society's problems. Unfortunately, of all the stories posted in this thread where someone retaliated, if they were caught (and we live in Video Surveillance World these days), they would be thoroughly punished while the one who incited the incident would get slapped on the wrist.
