People who treat cars like Sh*t !

A chap I know, he has an Audi A6 3.0 tdi, rather a nice car, not seen it in a while and was shocked to see what a state its in, window trim bent and hanging off, all four wheels covered in thick black crud and missing several chunks. The paintwork is ruined, especially the rear drivers side door, a big crease and lots of random squirly scratches, I had never seen anything like this and enquired as to how it happened, imaginging some kind of animals claws cuaing it, but no, he tows his wheelie bin down his drive with his arm hanging out of the window, the gritty dustbin getting cosy with the paint. He has a track record like this, he had a Seven series BMW and used to take his Springer Spaniel out with it sat on the back seats, I say sat, well charging about leaving holes in the leather, the other was beaching a three series and seriously damamging the floor pan rather than make a proper three point turn. I reckon the Audi would need £1000, maybe more to make it saleable. Another one was pinning notes to the dash of a Seven series, would need a new dash or some serious invisible repair work.

My brothers mother in law bought a new VW Eos and it is a dustbin, every corner scuffed, all wheels beyond refurbishment, the light coloured interior a filthy mess.

Girl at work, no money, was on about 13/14 grand passed her test and wouldnt be seen dead in a car for the grand she had saved up, so signed on the dotted for five years finance on a Mini One, then proceeded to ruin it, scuffs, dents and an interior like a dung heap, may as well have done that to some old bin of a Clio or Fiesta

I know some people arent interested in cars and we are apt on here to be extremely anal and go into mourning at a stone chip but surely, even the most uninterested driver must realise the damage they are doing and the resultant affect on the cars value, most dont seem to have the funds to be blase !

Is it just me getting squeamish, it isnt like any of it makes any difference to the operation of the cars in question.

It is a white good to some people.

I dont knock seven shades of crap out of my appliances either !

I can understand not looking after a banger, but a thirty odd grand new car used as a bin truck I dont get !

Some people just don't get it. I was at a shopping centre today and Jaguar had a stand outside. Lovely black F-Type on display, locked but with the roof down. Suddenly this bint plonks her child in it, allowing it to stand on the seat (in its shoes!) while she took a photo. I was having palpitations!

Why on earth would you care if a 'bint' took a picture of her child in her own car?

Seriously, I am astonished by some of the posts on here. Have some of you got nothing better to worry about than how other people use their own property? Really?

He said it was a dealers car, a bit rude to do that to a pristine, brand new car, I doubt it would do any damage but I would be very careful around something like that, would she want the Jag salesman stood on her new Sofa in his size tens ?

There was a scruffy 206 parked behind my Fiesta this afternoon with bird poo ALL over it.

I was going to take a pic which would have fitted in this thread nicely.

Probably gone now and not going out to look..

Our Galaxy has a fair amount on it, it lives under a tree which appears to be the Wood Pigeon equivalent of public toilets, clean it and within an hour it has a load on, weird thing is, how often do you see bird st on pavement, fences and other stuff compared to on cars, I reckon they aim for cars, the more recently washed the better !
