It is unfortunate that our country has more than fair share of ugly douche bags who deserve to go to a far away black hole and never to return to earth.
Well, what a thread.
My comments are we allow DBs to obtain drivers licenses.
(Need skill test; car parking, clutch, uphill for example and I
suppose if no license they would drive anyway.)

My C6 attracted a douchebag in 2008. In a 95% empty parking lot he parked his POS, rusted, old '76 Chrysler less than a foot from my C6.
He returned to his car to find it was the only one of 10 cars in the 200 car parking lot with a shitload of coffee all over the windshield and hood.
You know I sometimes park my station car next to a Vette - I'm thinking I'm another Vette owner and I am protecting one side of his car for him/her. I was challenged by one C6 owner who became very apologetic after he challenged me for parking next to him. Once I told him about my Vette - it became obvious I knew enough about them once we started talking - he really ate his own crow. So now I have "My other car is LT1 powered" stickers on the side windows...
Even happens in the rural south. A few years ago I parked my brand new Ram SLT crew cab at the farthest corner of the Wall Mart parking lot, near my home in South Carolina. No other vehicle was within 300 + feet. I came out to find a shopping cart rammed into the side, with a sizable dent and scratch to remember the incident by. For that buggy to travel at sufficient velocity to cause that level of damage, it must have been deliberately LAUNCHED from a short distance away. (Did I mention there was not another vehicle within 300+ feet?)
Yes, there are DBs EVERYWHERE...
sometimes the wind carches the plastic part where the Babys butt sits on and those carts can take off, seen it many times but that doesnt lessen your level of frustration.....
So this is the first time I've ever owned a Corvette, so this is a completely new experience for me. Most of the attention is great, people simply admiring an amazing car. But yesterday was a little different. Was parked in line at Taco Bell drive-thru, and a douche in a '94 Subaru wagon drives up and cuts in front of me in such a way if I were to pull forward our cars would collide (he angled or cut himself in if that makes sense). So I get out of the car and ask him what the hell? His response was "I don't care you have a nicer car you'll move". Absolutely dumbfounded and stunned to the audacity and level of narcissism this guy exhibited. Anyhow, I backed off as it's clear I have a lot more to lose than this sad sack. Anyone else experience anything of the sort? I'm still shaking my head...
I'm afraid that with all the "fancy/exotic" cars I've had, this car, BY FAR, has attracted a lot more douchebags and scumbags than any other.
But having said that, how would you know if it was a '94 Subaru vs. '93 or 95, for example. Almost seems like your story was made up.
The jackass at the Taco Bell was a bully, which makes him a coward. All bullies are cowards. He knew you had more to lose and he took advantage of that just so he could feel like he “won”. He will only pick a “ fight” he knows he can win. This is to bolster his low self esteem. When he gets his *** whooped he will be the playing the victim believe me.
Someday he's going to mess with the wrong guy that will knock the chip of his shoulder.

Taught my son to drive with a clutch and took his driving test with a clutch and passed the first time, trooper was impressed.
I once parked my car in a hotel underground parking garage where I was staying- no designated or private spots. A "guy" left a note on my windshield saying I had parked in his spot - he was obviously crazy. There is no shortage of crazies in the world. Avoidance is the best advice -discretion is the better part of valor.

I'm proud to be a boomer, it was the last generation that didn't check its spine at the door, that hates PC, that doesn't pour sugar on a turd and calls it a gumdrop, that actually likes accountability and when you **** up you should have to pay for it and not blame your upbringing, getting second place in sports, or other trivial crap that weak pathetic losers cling to. I still say "take it like a man" and don't give two ***** less about gender. If gender doesn't matter, go get eggs from a rooster or milk from a bull.
Kinda funny but that’s what my Silent Generation dad thought of his generation and referred to Boomers as “entitled hippies”. All in perspective I guess.

A picture paints a thousand words.
The Mustang represent the douchebag who parked his POS Chrysler a foot from my car. The other 2 cars represent the vehicles closest to mine in all directions in the parking lot. Protection or douchebag? 😀
strangely, for car related “incidences” I almost exclusively pull old men it seems. Two marriage proposals while working on my car in the parts store lot. The corvette specialist was definitely an older man if his “been in the business for 35 years” is accurate.
😹
there’s a guy in a car group I’m a part of that drives a fiat and he will never hear the end of it from us.
The Vette got you some game with old guys I guess. For my generation the equivalent would be a girl into video games. Something about girls being into guy things I guess.
Lol, my backup plan if the C8 thing didn’t pan out was a Fiat 124 Abarth, which is still on my bucket list of cars get.
To get mad respect from my peers would require a lifted pickup truck.
The mistake you did make that could of been worse, never get out of your car especially in a drive up. You're left vulnerable and so is your car, valuables, and people that could be in your car.
I learned this years ago, "always leave yourself an out" in a drive up you have no out. You have no idea what the person that cut in front of you was oddly up to. He could of simply wanted you OUT of your car, and with THAT, he did.
Be hyper vigilant, it pays off especially when you have nicer things than they do. They just might want yours.

Calling into question whether my post is real or not and questioning my credibility - really? That's as douchey a move as the guy that cut in front of me.
Years ago in the military I flew with an old Captain that said "If I have to explain it to you, you're not going to understand". Same here. The point to be made/shared here is NOT what exact year the car was.
Over the years I have "meet" plenty of DB's that degrade and think their POS is better than my Vettes, mostly young AH who think they rule the world.
and the worst for me are the jacked up Pick ups that think they can do what ever they want. Loud, bullies who push people around, probably since their youth.
Most of the time I ignore them, but for those that really think "they rule" the mall shopping lots and give me the bird, or worse. I keep one of these in my car and use it !!
4 "Flats"
No damage, but makes them BURN !
