Did an egg really do more damage to your paint job than random birds pooping on it?
Personally, I find it funny when people spend so much time making their cars look so spotless that they are scared to death to drive them outside lest something bad happen to them.
Cars are utility tools. They are meant to be used, which means they get scratched, dinged, and otherwise dented up in the process. When people treat them like status symbols, start parking at angles across 4 parking spaces just to be sure no peasants ding them, and decide they should kill a kid for hitting their precious god-image with an egg, we have invested WAY TO MUCH in “things”.
Yes.

Never said death was justified.
I invested my time in my car because it was what I had, and it was time spent with my dad as a teen. He taught me to work on it, and gave me a skill for a lifetime. It wasn't just a thing. It was also not something I feared driving. I didn't park it across multiple spots, but I did park it as far away from everyone else that I could.
