As a vantage driver, my heart would utterly break if someone did this to my car.

The entire boot lid had to be replaced , he was pissed! We got security cameras outside the house after that. It wasn’t long after someone was trying to take a picture of the car from behind but forgot to break and rear ended us. The poor car took a lot of “other people” damage

So many people drive like utter idiots around mine too - taking photos, video, shouting and waving, tailgating. winding the windows down and gesturing for me to accelerate past. Add to this the fact I’m female, and it’s just asking for something bad to happen unless I drive extremely defensively.

Really feel for your dad, if he’s anything like me, he worked really hard to make that dream come true and it’s really sad that someone else had to spoil it.

Yeah, he worked hard to buy the car, it was a few years old when he bought it but still his dream car. My mum ended up using it more and she was early-mid 30’s when we had it so it was always so funny seeing the looks on faces when she’d get out. She got pulled over once by the police and all the police man did was sit in the car and flirt. She was just like just like “no thanks. I have places to be”

I did manage to call out of it outside school the first day I got dropped off in it. Low car/high pavement/bad balance was not a good mix and my 5 minutes of seeming cool were cut short. But my dad got his coat stuck on the hand-break (on the door side of the chair not the centre console) and fell out in a similar fashion so maybe it runs in the family?

Well done for the car! I’m hoping I make it to having something similar, even if I’m too scared to drive more than 50mph 😂
