Default Disrespect to cars ?

Just wondering, have any of you ever experienced people leaning on your car as if it belongs to them ?

Do you feel that it is disrespectful to the car owner or is it perfectly fine ?

To answer some questions in advance, No, leaning on the car will not result in dent. Its the act of it that might be disturbing.

What are you thoughts ? Share your experiences.


For some reason I've ran into quite a number of people like that.

1) While doing window replacement, my car was parked outside. 1 mechanic outside decided to lean on my CF wing and have a chat with his friend.

2) Ralliart Drivers Training. I don't know who this fella is. He was invited to help out with the event at barbagallo. The idea is that Ross Dunkerton and him will bring everyone 2 slow laps. My car being the first means that this unknown fella will be driving my car.

This dude happily puts his Helmet on top of my car roof and lean on my car with his super sexy tight jeans with his arms folded and sunglasses on. For those of you wondering, some jeans actually have metal rivets on rear pocket.

3) Having a chat with a couple of friends at the carpark, couple of guys came over and asked which Evo series it is. Having told them, they decided to knock on my CF wing, boot, fenders. WTF IS WITH THE KNOCKING ??!

4) Having boost gauge installed on my ex MY03 wrx. While the mechanic was working under the bonnet, this guy walked over to him to enquire something. He happily placed his hand on my bonnet and lean on it to the point my bonnet looks strained from pushing it rearwards.

5) While waiting to run at the motorplex, couple of guys came over and asked which Evo series it is. Having told them, 1 of them decided to touch the roof AND STARTED KNOCKING ON THEM. WTF IS WITH THE KNOCKING AGAIN !@%#!%.

1 of his pals told him, "hey man don't anyhow touch other people's car man", he replied, "I'll touch whatever I want".

Uhh yeah, i don't like people touching my car at all. A guy leant on my car at a cruise several weeks ago, but he apologized before i even realised. So i told him it was fine. In any other case, i would kindly ask the person not to do it.

i dun think i'd mind ppo leaning on side of my car, but i dun want them to lean/sit on my bonnet. i dun like ppo closing my door hard when the window is down, or slamming my boot after having a 22b wing on it (now a crack across the fibre glass wing). i dun really like ppo closing my doors by the windows.

i wouldn't want them to knock my car neither.

Touching is fine. As for leaning, I don't know about the others, but I don't lean or knock or touch other people's car uneccessarily unless if they needed help with something.

Good point on the slamming bit. I have heaps of people slamming my car door. I know on the Scooby, you just need to close it firmly, but some people do it excessively to the point the car actually sway quite a bit from the slamming.
