No Respect

happytheman · 04-25-2011, 09:23 PM

No, this isn't a Rodney Dangerfield throwback...

I took one of my workmates to lunch today down to the local Mexican eatery. This place is great! They make their own nacho chips fresh each day!

Anyways, while the food is great..the parking lot isn't. It's mainly composed of dirt.

I REALLY don't like having to park my freshly detailed car in dirt.

Anyways, we come out of the restaurant, I slide into the seat sideways and begin to beat my shoes together to get as much of the dirt off as possible... My workmate climbs in as I'm vigorously ridding my shoes of what dirt I can and he just plops his size 13 loafers right down in the floorboards..fully laden with dirt and debris! I'm like WTF man?!

I am ALWAYS conscious of other people's belongings...generally moreso than I am of my own....and to have this disrespect and utter lack of regard for something that I cherish so much really told me something about this fellow. He won't be riding in my car again anytime soon.

I always make sure to give everyone the "how to enter and exit my car" speech before I let someone ride in the Z. Starting with watching your feet as you bring them in the car to NOT kick anything. And the next thing is to NOT slam the door. Man that really makes me made when they slam the door.

OMG! You NAILED it! He's got a Dodge Ram. The front wheels of his ride are so caked with brake dust I'm sure they're pitted as H3LL by now!

Dude..I get it. I know it's just a car..but it really shows a huge lack of respect when people treat your vehicle like a peice of garbage. Are you ok with that?

And I'm sorry, as much as I love my Z, it's not an investment.

Same thing goes for the clothes I wear..they may not be an investment but If given a choice, I'll choose the crisp, clean shirt over one with coffee stains.

I gotta say..having a two seater now definitely has it's advantages! The dude with the four door is ALWAYS going to get picked to drive!

I totally understand what you mean. During the winters in Wisconsin. People just get into the car while scooping in a bunch of snow.
