why don't people have respect for other peoples property any more?
so i am living in a brand new subdivision...one of only about 50 houses built amongst about 1000 that still need to be built....so there is a lot of heavy equipment driving around...which i am aware of and try and do my best to keep my car out of their way...for mysake. However recently prior to long weekend knock came on the door hey we are pouring the curbs on your street can you park the cars on the other side, np i suggest. curb gets poured all is dandy...this morning knock knock now we are doing the other curb can you switch sides...np i suggest. i come out 2 hours later and a gentle man ( will be as polite as i can) has used a concrete cutting maching to cut the concrete to allow for stess releif on the curb... we have all seen this done, i am sure. 3 inches from my car.... upon closer review i know have about 30 or 40 tiny little stone chips of paint in a straight line right up my quarter panel behind the front wheel and then where they did the other cut is just behind my rear wheel same thing....
everything will be atken care of according to the builder, i saw him rip the concrete guys a new one told me to get some estimates and that he would back charge them...the damaged from two estimates i got was 1800+ and 1900+
my point there goes my factory paint....and all of could have been avoided with a simple knock on the door, hey can you move your car....

I hear you. At my work I always park near an island so I can avoid the other threat to the Z, women with 54 inch butts trying to get out of a 40 inch door opening and dinging the car next to them.
Instead the grounds keepers mow right during the middle of the day and spray everyones cars with sand, grass and trash. So far, no permanent damage but it only takes one rock to get in those mower blades.

No the best is when your about to walk into a store you glance over.And a mother is trying to strap her baby in the car seat.And her butt is trying to keep the door open as she's doing this its dinging the car door next to her i kept count one time when i was walking by (7times).It was like nails on a chalk board.

Be careful man, the builder said he's going to back charge the goons that did it, which means they're gunna be pissed, and knowing where you live and where your car is, get a garage I guess is what I'm saying.

Yeah, people suck! To the OP, use the brand new garage! If my Z is at my house, it's in the garage 100% of the time. Only time it's on the driveway is when it's getting washed and it's never been parked in the street.
