12 years ago I bought 2 wrecks for $1,200, & built a good one from the two. It was no concourse beauty, but was pretty nice. It was my only car for 6 years, & still my main transport until recently taken off the road for a rebuild.
She was getting a bit battered with stone chips & dings from tree branches & stuff on the roads after our floods. When I acquired a genuine air conditioning unit from an ex US import, & had that fitted, I decided she deserved a full restoration.
After a bare metal paint job she got an effectively new engine, some new seats & some retiming, along with a new radiator & cooling system. I have spent something like the cost of a new medium hatch, but have a much nicer car, with a bit of character. It also looks a picture after all the work.You may be able to guess, I love that old car.
So today, at the shopping center the disabled parking was full. I parked way down in a near empty part of the parking, near a trolley return. I needed a trolley to lean on to walk that far.
I chose the end of a row, hard against a garden bed, leaving double normal space beside my car. When I returned a car had parked 30cm into my space, & left a dent in my door with theirs. I could see it was them, their door had my paint still on it.
I was wearing my heavy work boots. Tell me, would you have left the imprint of your boot in their door, in my place?
