Cars are meant for getting people from point A to point B. That's it. End of story. Like it or not, sky_driver's wife is doing that, in her own bumpy way.
Uh, actually, cars are meant for whatever the vehicle owner wants it to be. For you, you can let your car turn into a beater. My wife and I take care of or two nice cars. We also have a shitbox, my 87 mazda rx7. I bought it as a beater, and it will probably stay a beater. But that does not mean that I trash other cars with it. I have huge doors because it is a 2 door, but I am very careful to never open my car into another's door, even if it means wiggling my 250 lb body through a narrow door opening. This does not mean that I will attack someone for hitting my car. Simply admit it was your fault and pay for the repairs, and everything will be hunky-dory. Be a big boy or girl. If I catch you trying to drive away, I will report you as a hit-and-run. If someone stole your wallet with 500 or 800 dollars in it, you would call the police. But people think nothing of causing that same dollar value in damage to someone's car and walking away. That is criminal.
