The trouble we are faced with as petrolheads, and see our cars as a hobby as well as transport, is that most people just dont share this view.
And fair enough, they have much better things to care about than a lump of metal in their eyes, hence they dont batter an eyelid, about throwing their cars into kerbs, wonky car parking, flying over speed bumps, etc etc, basically all the things we wouldnt dream of doing....
So im afraid this is what we have to contend with, and so try to avoid, although sometimes its beyond our control, and hence we have dramas like this....
I dont think there is any solution, apart from having a second car...... lol
