Reminds me of a news story years ago, in the 70’s maybe. Young bloke in a Porsche nips in front of an old bloke in a 4wd with a bull bar and steals a parking place. Winds down the window and shouts, insouciantly: ‘ Gotta be young and fast, Daddio, t’do that!’. Old bloke rams and crumples the rear end of the Porsche. Gets out and gives his business card and says: ‘Gotta be old and rich t’do that, sonny’. As to your moral dilemma - I would leave a note now, when I can afford to be honest. Years ago, when I was poor I’d probably say, say to myself, let’s share the bad luck. You got your share, but I got mine too.
Sadly yes I would leave a note. I have some weird need to be honest. It is NOT a good thing. It's a vice. I can't recall any times when my stupid honesty has benefited me. I can tell you several stories of how it hurt me though.
no way i'd leave a note for the greedy capitalistic swine, or drug dealer.
I always do the right thing (sometimes I wish I did not) so yes I would leave a note
My response wouldn't be different if it wasn't a Porsche. It sounds like we are supposed to feel more responsible for other people's property, depending on how much money they have?
If you drive a really expensive car, then normal wear and tear includes repairing dings and dents. If you drive a cheap car, and don't have a complex about dings and dents, then you save money up front, and down the line. I have no sympathy for the Porsche owner, and I reserve the right to be as arbitrary and moody as I want, if his/her car gets damaged.
Of course. I would leave a note with my name and phone number.
To reassure them, I would say I have car insurance.
Have never hit someone's car. But a jackass hit my car without leaving a note, when it was in a parking lot.
You're in the habit of driving badly, are you?
No, I have never hit anyone's car.. But if I did, I would leave a note. I'll rephrase my comment.
