Unwanted Attention
So. I came out of the grocery store today to find a few teenage girls taking photos of my car... with one sitting on the trunk and one standing in my back seat. Really.
When I approached and asked that they were doing as I hit the unlock button they all ran away giggling. Now I have scratches on my trunk and footprints on my back seats.
I knew I should have put up the top. It was the FIRST time I have ever left it down while I went in the store. <sigh> Pissed.

WTF!!! That's unbelievable!!! It's a real shame to hear that. I had a similar episode once and my blood pressure still goes sky high when I think about it. Back in 2001, I was at a stop light with my buddies in the car. Making use of the back seat, riding 4 deep. We are stopped at a stop light in the bar district in KC at Westport Rd, and out of nowhere some hoochie momma jumps up on my hood!!! Starts booty shaking and twerking, while people on the street are just cheering and screaming. My friends jump out of the car and drag her ghetto a** down to which her clique start trying to fight my friends. I put the car in park, and literally we're fighting in the street! Police came and broke it up, but the offender seemed to have disappeared. I was left with dents and footprints in my aluminium hood. $300 later and empty pockets, my hood was back to normal. Some people deserve to be taken out by natural selection. In your situation, I would have followed the girls and called the cops. Unbelievable.

In Chicago about a month ago, I valeted my car at Tuscany on Taylor. I walked out with my girl after dinner and it's parked 1st car curb side and the valets are leaned up against it chatting up two coeds. I nearly lost my mind. I went off on them jokingly, "Are you serious? I caught you guys. That's not cool." They just laughed about it and opened the door for my girl... and then asked me for $6 for the valet. Scumbags. What is wrong with people.

Yeah. It's interesting when the attention is GOOD and it really pissed me off when someone violated my space. What I found to be the worst part, and it happens so often these days, is that people have no ownership of their actions and feel "entitled" to do whatever they want, regardless of the way it may hurt another. Had I gotten all postal today, I would be the nasty 58 year old grump who was accosting the nice young ladies.
Tonight I filed a police report for vandalism. The cop laughed and shook his head as if I was interrupting his donut break. That made me even more pissed. LoL
Reminds me of the car alarm in SF years ago that when you got too close it screamed "GET AWAY FROM THE CAR!!"
Guaranteed I will never leave my top down again. For sure.

76210Guy, sorry to hear about that. you should definately keep the roof up!!!! I use to leave my roof down until I saw bird poop on my rear seat (damn you birds).. and many times while in a store I could see people outside leaning on the car to look inside, Its annoying!!! after I got a door ding which cost me 300$ to remove, I put a visible double side dash cam, it seems to keep most people away.
aside from the door dings which really **** me off, I was in downtown on a weekend, while waiting for friends a few drunk girls approached and really liked the car, so one asked if she could sit in, ofcourse I couldnt say no as she was ... so i opened the driver side door and she sat inside like a normal human should. while the rest took pics, her larger friend came and PUT HER LEGGG OVER THE PASSENGER DOOR RESTING WHILE HER SHOE ON MY SEAT :O and she was like resting on the door posing for a pic. I was super but trying my best to polite.. so I said " what the hell are you doing, never seen a door before, get off please " she doesnt say sorry or anything but says can 4 of us get in? im like actually you wont fit.. lol i think she thought im referring to her size :/ shes like thanks, im like what? .. she walks away. the sweetheart in the passenger seat stayed until my friends showed up, then i had to go Lol. luckily my passenger door was alright ..
man some people just need manners

When you drive the SC or any other cool car, you should expect it coming. I was being approach by so many people in various parking lot, traffic light, my drive way, & hotel valet.
Most are positive, but few almost freak me out. There are all kind of people out there.....just be-careful.
One incident in a supermarket parking lot, a guy approach me and start talking good about my SC, then he said he just started a auto detail shop and immediately spray some cleaner on fender and start rubbing. I lost it for a second and told him to stop. WTF, I just wash/wax it, it don't need cleaning of any kind!! Out of no where, he said I'm over reacted & told me he own a shop. When I ask him for a business card, he gave me a church card. yes, its a card with a Church & presit name and he wrote his name on the back with a phone# and claim thats his business card.
Speechless, I just warn him to stay away. Have to cancel my shopping plan as this guy just wondering the lot. Who know what he would do when I'm shopping inside!
