Sorry but what you want isn't going to happen. Some people see a car as just a machine not an object to love as you do. Quit worrying about your "love object" and live your life.
Wow, that's pretty judgemental. Everyone has objects they love, whether it's a piece of art or a piece of jewelry or a car. I parked my '89 Trans Am way out in the back of the lot back in the day, but didn't have to worry people would park next to me and walk 1/4 mile just to spite me then, I guess the a**hole wasn't in as quite full bloom as it is now. What on earth would prompt such a response??
I sat in the driveways on Saturdays with a bucket of soapy water and a toothbrush cleaning the dozens tiny holes in those wheels, who are you to say it should have been just a machine to ME, and that I shouldn't worry about some a** scratching it after spending half the lovingly polishing it.
It's one thing if someone takes up two spots down front, or parks in front and expects no one to park near him. But if you take the time to go to the farthest reaches of the lot with a million empty spaces, why on earth should anyone expect someone to park right next to them?
Who are you to tell people what they should value?

Now some people might not care, and park next to everyone else in a parking lot, which is fine and is a personal decision for many reasons.
Something we care about we tend to say we “love it”, it doesn’t matter what it is, it could be a nice appliance object. All it means is that we “care” about the things we own. We want it to last and look like the day it was knew, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
This goes for your home as well, if nobody cared about about anything, we all would live like savages in 3rd world conditions.
I also own classic cars, so I am very protective over them. What gets me too, is how you could be parked all by yourself in a parking lot with say 15 open spots, there’s not one car in site, so you decide to park at the very end to avoid other drivers parking next to you. But when you get back, there’s someone parked next to it when they had 15 other open spots for themselves to choose from and they still decided to park next to your car???? This has happened to me many times as well and I am seriously flabbergasted by it.
Definitely small minded people in this case.
Some people are simply to busy to bother with all the fine points in life that give other people heartburn. I call those people snobs when they look down on other people for not meeting "their" standards.

So, in your opinion people who resent their property being damaged by others are snobs?
The TOS forbid me from giving my opinion about that.

To be quite frank it is you who sounds snobby in this thread.

His post must have been before mine! He probably didn't know any girls who sat in the driveway doing detail work on their cars for hours, but that was me, too.

I can only hope you surrender your driver's license and get a lifetime bus pass.
