Karma is a bitch, and sometimes you get to see instant paybacks.
One of my best memories of all time is when a friend of mine had parked his newly finished '39 Pontiac in front of his store. As a group of us sat in his store admiring his ride a woman that he knew pulled in next to it, slung open her door and hit the Pontiac pretty hard. Tony went outside, confronted her about it and all she said as she walked off was "it's just a car, get over it.....".
Tony, who tipped the scales at over 350 lbs., didn't say a word. He got in his car, leaned back across the seat, opened his door and kicked his door with both feet, hitting her car so hard that the glass broke out of the front door, the back glass fell into the door and the mirror popped off. As she came running from the store next door, Tony got out, stopped and said, "You're right, it's just a car." She couldn't even open her door!!
To this day Tony is one of my heroes, and if I ever see the person who does a similar thing to my car, I intend to do Tony proud!
