"Protecting" your car is hard enough...

To be fair what else should she have done in your opinion?

I turned out alright, and I got my fair share of being told off. Kids cannot be expected to appreciate what you are saying but they can understand tone more.

She might as well of congratulated him for his efforts :p

I'm not saying she should have done anything more/less. But it says something when someones kids think throwing gravel around at peoples cars is acceptable behavior.

Yeah, that's life, but it's everyday that life has to rear its ugly head now :D

That's why I have a mac 10 in the glovebox, and it hasn't happened since!

When I grow up, I want to be a big strong keyboard warrior, just like you!

Maybe it should read...

At 3 I knew throwing things at people/their property was unacceptable behavior because I had, you know - parents.

And you never did anything wrong or rude for which you had to be told off from the age of three onwards?

You're a miracle child, then.

Too bad your parents also didn't teach you how to spell behaviour at the same time. ;)

Of course, I got told off. I didn't do it again. Key point is I was told off properly so I did not WANT to get told off again.

Walking off with your kid who is laughing as a result being softly spoken to with a "No" is hardly being told off now is it?

No, it isn't, and I agree with you that the parent should have given him a smack on the bum.

However, this is a different point. You're trying to claim that the kid should have known better, and a three year old should have a full grasp of what is "naughty and wrong" and what is not.
 
My point was that it said something about the parenting to let the kid have the perception of it being acceptable. Either his NEVER done it before, which I find hard to believe or he simply has not been told off for similar behavior in the past (Likely).

It was drilled into me from day one that when getting out of our car I did not dare hit someone else's with the door. If I did not understand that, I was taken out not left to my own devices.
 
My mom would have kicked my backside if I did that at 3, over and over again. No way I'd have got a "No, bad"

I would have got her address etc to go to after the damage was assessed. You have children, take responsibility for them.

If it was my mum/dad it would have been "No. Bad.......luck you're getting a beating" :p

In fact, i actually remember being around 3 and throwing gravel at an old Civic that belonged to my parent's best friends parents. Smash the rear screen :-/

I got pwned for that :p
 
Back to the car. Have you had a chance to clean and inspect your car? The only saving grace is that its not the utterly awful nighthawk black.
 
I know how you feel.

Start of december my car was keyed down both sides and the door kicked so a nice dent in it.

Required an insurance claim which included full resprays down both sides.

Got the car back just before christmas and on Sunday morning went out to the car and some little fu**ers done it again and keyed the passenger side of the car
 
Berlina black, is the toughest of the three, nighthawk was the worst(only had to look at it to scratch it), crystal black(newest) is very tough, yours being sprayed in japan will hold up to abuse.

P.s I spent two and a half years valet at honda distribution center at avonmouth, new and used.
 
It's Deep Burgundy Metallic :p

I've heard the 08-09 runout cars were sprayed elsewhere and have an even thinner/lower quality paint than the earlier cars.
 
Sorry looked black in your sig. Doh.

All S2000 were built and fully finished to customer spec in japan.

Other cars built in japan, jazz, IMA, accord had finishing touches done at avonmouth, bodykits and bits.

At 5 I booted Tony Hart in the shins. This wasn't a reflection on my parents parenting abilities and I'm now a fairly "normal" kind of person, I was just a bit mental as a kid.
 
I had this issue before with kids on the road I live, one of them scaped their bike down the side of my car leaving a 6 inch gouge, went right round and the mother was screaming at me I shouldn't have a nice car when there are children around playing :confused:

Fortunatly the father was more understanding, and coughed up the cash to get it all repaired to normal, Although I think my criminal of a brother screaming abuse and threatening them made him more willing to hand over the cash, guess hes not such a useless waste of space after all!
 
I say you should have punched both of them, or call the police to report criminal damage to your property :)
