Wow, I set myself for this beating I guess 
! I should have mentioned that this began when my 12 year old son decided to "park" his bike and skateboard right next to my car, so being the OCD person that I am, I took it to the extreme and bought (no, funny though it was, I did not steal them from the highway dept.) all these cones and put up the barrier. The one in the front of the car is because the recycling barrel is in front of the car and everyone likes to throw (and miss) bottles in to it so in case of a stray projectile I'm covered. And no, this is not my first new car (I've had more than I can count), and no, it wasn't a stretch to buy it. Maybe it's an only child thing, I don't like people messin with my stuff lol. In any case, I'm glad I didn't tell my wife about this post yet cause it looks like I am losing big time. Thanks for all the comments in any case, I got a good laugh at my own expense!

If any kid (person) is ok throwing bottles in a recycling bin a few feet from your $85k + car you've got bigger issues that will get worse over time. I don't don't have kids but someone's azz is getting whooped if bikes, skateboards, surf boards, bottles, etc get knocked into a car due to blatant carelessness. OK, I'm done now. Wow, I just got worked up

I'm worried that some kid might accidently bump that skateboard and roll it into the protective zone of death thus upsetting the harmonic balance of the universe and we will all be blasted into the eternal cosmos never to drive our fantastic play toys ever again. Good lord man ease up.

I definitely have to agree with you. You need all the protection you can get. But, I am wondering- why aren't there any cones BEHIND the car? You need a lot more back there.--
