We've had cars while living in the U.S, Australia and here. But why is it that people here have a blatant disregard for other people's cars. Our car has had it's fair share of dents, scratches and scuffs over the past 2 years here. Lorry drivers and other car owners violently open their car doors leaving dents and scratches that are an absolute eye sore...and not to mention the heartache! We finally decided to get it resprayed last weekend, only to find someone had deliberately left a large scratch on the paint work the VERY next morning! Yet, for all the years we've owned cars in U.S and Australia, they were left unscathed.
I don't think it's a space issue either, because I take all precaution not to damage other people's cars while getting in and out of mine. It's not difficult to do.
I think it's a total lack of respect that people have as well as envy. Where is the conscience?? This was what it was like in Malaysia 20 years back. We may be living in a first world country...however, the behaviour is anything but.
