Mind you, I say that...
In the couple of years I left my MR2 on my parents' drive it was,
A.) Riddled with blue paint marks from where my dad had opened his car door onto it
B.) Was moderately scratched/swirled on the bonnet where dad my had 'done me a favour' and washed my car with a sponge from the early 80s riddled with stones.
C.) The rear end was melted as someone set fire to the conifer tree on the drive, in the meatime my parents where both in the house having a party listening to their jukebox in the back room and where completely oblivious to the fact that there was a fire until firemen where practically breaking the door down to get their attention. Also keep in mind this was clearly visible about 20/30 houses up the road (it was a huge mature tree) the deaf and practically blind mind across the road was talking to me about how fierce it was, he's now died from old age, sums that little story up.
Hope that cheered you up.
